BELOTERO
Belotero is an FDA-approved and clinically-proven dermal filler that fills the moderate to severe fine lines, wrinkles, and nasolabial folds, i.e., the lines extending from the corners of the nose to the mouth. Belotero is made of the active ingredient hyaluronic acid, a naturally-occurring substance that immediately fills out the skin to smooth the nasolabial folds, smile lines, lip lines, and other fine lines.
HOW DOES HYALURONIC ACID WORK?
Hyaluronic acid is a biocompatible and biodegradable component that’s found abundantly in the human skin in one’s youth. It has the unique feature of binding water molecules to the skin, making you look supple, smooth, voluminous, and youthful. However, your skin’s hyaluronic acid reserves gradually deplete over time, leading to wrinkles, worn out, and sagging skin. Belotero restores the hyaluronic acid balance, thereby reversing the effects of age.

BELOTERO PROCEDURE
Belotero is a simple procedure that concludes within 15 minutes without downtime. After carefully assessing your health history and facial tissues, the nurse practitioners will curate the treatment. The treatment areas will be cleansed and numbed with topical anesthesia, following which they’ll inject Belotero with ultrafine needles. You might feel a little pinch as the needle goes into the facial tissues, but there’s no pain or discomfort.
DOWNTIME
Belotero doesn’t involve any downtime or extended recovery period. You might experience redness, swelling, irritation, itching, and discomfort around the treatment areas for a few days, but you can resume all your work and daily activities immediately.
RECOVERY GUIDELINES
- Avoid strenuous physical activities for 24 hours.
- Avoid direct exposure to heat and sunlight.
- Avoid nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications for a few days.
- Avoid alcoholic beverages for 24 hours.
RESULTS
Belotero produces instant results with gradual improvements as the side effects dissipate over a week. The results last for 6 months or more, depending on the dosage, treatment area, and how quickly your body metabolizes the hyaluronic acid.
