Belotero®

Belotero is a dermal filler made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a polysaccharide, which is a type of sugar naturally found in the skin that helps retain moisture, support elasticity, and maintain volume. Over time, aging, environmental factors, and the body’s natural decline in HA production lead to wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss in the face. Belotero is specifically designed to address these concerns, offering a minimally invasive solution to restore the skin’s youthful appearance.

Unlike some other dermal fillers, Belotero features a unique formulation known as Cohesive Polydensified Matrix (CPM) technology, which allows it to seamlessly integrate into the skin’s natural tissues. This ensures smoother, more natural-looking results that adapt to the dynamic movements of the face.

Belotero is FDA-approved and has been extensively tested for safety and effectiveness. Its lightweight and adaptable properties make it suitable for treating both superficial and deeper lines, as well as for subtle contouring and volume restoration.

Belotero is a versatile filler that can address a wide range of cosmetic concerns. It is commonly used to treat:

1. Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Belotero is highly effective for smoothing out fine lines, especially in delicate areas such as around the eyes (crow’s feet) and mouth (perioral lines). Its ability to integrate into the skin’s surface ensures a natural appearance, even in areas where the skin is thin.

1. Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines

The deeper creases that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds) and those extending downward from the corners of the mouth (marionette lines) are significantly diminished with Belotero. The filler’s soft consistency makes it ideal for achieving smooth, subtle results in these areas.

1. Lip Augmentation

Belotero can be used to enhance lip shape and volume or to correct fine lines that form on and around the lips. Its lightweight texture allows for precise application and a naturally plump appearance.

1. Under-Eye Hollows

Volume loss under the eyes can result in a tired, sunken appearance. Belotero’s ability to integrate smoothly into the skin makes it an excellent choice for filling under-eye hollows, creating a refreshed and rejuvenated look.

1. Chin and Jawline Contouring

By restoring volume and structure, Belotero can subtly enhance the definition of the chin and jawline, contributing to a more balanced facial profile.

1. Acne Scars and Other Depressions

Belotero can improve the appearance of shallow acne scars and other skin depressions by filling in uneven areas and creating a smoother skin texture.

One of the standout features of Belotero is its ability to deliver immediate, natural-looking results. After treatment, the targeted areas will appear smoother and more youthful, with an improvement in facial contours and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.

Because of its unique formulation, Belotero integrates beautifully into the skin. Patients often report that their friends and family notice they look refreshed and rejuvenated but cannot pinpoint what has changed.

Longevity of Results

The duration of results varies depending on the area treated, the amount of product used, and the individual’s metabolism. On average, Belotero lasts between 6 to 12 months, with some patients enjoying even longer-lasting effects. Regular touch-up treatments can help maintain the desired results over time.

Minimal Downtime

Belotero is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment. Most patients can resume their regular activities immediately after their session. Some may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, but these side effects typically subside within a few days.
