Belotero is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler used to treat fine lines and wrinkles in a way no other filler on the market can. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the human skin used to provide hydration and support to collagen and elastin fibers. Belotero is very versatile in the hyaluronic gel filler category because of its ability to fully integrate into the skin using its “cohesive poly-densified matrix” technology.
The unique formulation of Belotero makes it an ideal filler for specific facial areas:
Each patient is different, duration times can vary depending on the patient and the area being treated. On average, the benefits of Belotero can last as long as nine months or as little as three months.
Belotero is truly an “integrative” filler that can hydrate and create subtle and beautiful results, but sometimes the integrative properties make it seem as though it disappears slightly faster than other fillers.
Belotero injections do not involve any downtime, and you are free to return to your usual schedule immediately after your treatment. Minor swelling or redness can be camouflaged with makeup after 24 hours. You should avoid excessive exposure to sun.
Is Belotero like BOTOX?

How long will my Belotero treatments last?
BOTOX smooths facial lines with an entirely different process – BOTOX works to limit the nerve messages to overactive facial muscles that with constant motions, affect the skin surface, leaving it creased and with lines. Belotero works by filling the underlying skin tissue to plump the skin and subtly raise it to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, without affecting facial motions or natural expressiveness.
Belotero was developed with a specialized process, allowing the filler to integrate into the skin tissues very smoothly. This filler is often the ideal injectable for areas of the face that are harder to treat, such as under-eye bags, as well as more common zones such as smile lines, frown lines, and marionette lines.
Typically, the smoothing results can last about six months or more, as your system naturally absorbs the filler, after which retreatment will be needed. However, in certain very active facial areas, the smoothing effect may not last as long. Every person is unique regarding the speed with which the body absorbs the filler.
