Belotero
Belotero is the latest hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler to come on the cosmetic market. This formula provides a natural appearance by integrating seamlessly with the skin’s structure. Belotero offers softer, smoother results that may last longer than other injectable treatments. The natural effects of Belotero also allow it to be used on areas of the face such as the eyes and upper lip, which don’t always respond as positively to dermal fillers.
How is Belotero Used?
Belotero can be used to soften fine lines and deeper creases in the following areas:
- Smile Lines (lines that run from the corners of the nose to the mouth)
- Lip Lines (vertical fine lines extending from the upper lip)
- Marionette Lines (creases forming at the corner of the mouth downward to the chin)
Belotero’s ability to work effectively near the surface of the skin also makes this dermal filler a good choice for treating bags under the eyes, or fine lines in the outer corners of the eyes, known as crow’s feet. The formula has been approved to treat moderate to severe facial folds and wrinkles as well.
How does it Work?
Belotero injections can be performed in a physician’s office in just a few minutes. The treatment area is marked and cleaned, and the Belotero solution is carefully injected using a very fine needle just under the skin’s surface. The precise amount of time needed for treatment will depend on the number of areas to be addressed in a single session.
Recovery and Results
Patients are able to return to daily activities immediately after Belotero injections. Mild swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection sites can be effectively managed through ice packs and over-the-counter pain medication. Initial results are seen right away, with full results appearing within approximately one week. Belotero results may last six to 12 months, depending on the patient’s response to the formula.
Belotero is the latest non-invasive method for turning back the clock on the skin. This hyaluronic acid-based filler offers beautiful, natural results that last a number of months before touch-ups are required.
