Belotero is a gentle hyaluronic acid facial filler safe for superficial skin layers. It aids in the reduction of facial lines. Belotero has fillers with various consistencies designed to treat thin lines and aggressive folds. The filler is primarily used to treat the nose, cheek, lip, eyes, and chin areas.
At our office in NYC Belotero takes only a few minutes to complete. You can resume your daily plans after receiving treatment. These results are usually visible as soon as injections are administered. The radiant finish that results from the filler can last between 6 and 18 months. The length of the result is dependent upon the type of filler administered and the area in which it was injected.
The hyaluronic acid in Belotero occurs naturally in the skin. It blends with water to add volume, which results in a smooth appearance. As time progresses, the hyaluronic acid absorbs into the body.
The FDA initially approved the filler for moderate to significant laugh lines. Since its initial approval, Belotero has expanded its product line to offer Belotero Soft for thin lines and Belotero Volume for the restoration of volume to plump the nose, lips, and cheeks. While it is safe for most, it is unclear if it’s a safe option for people who are younger than 18, pregnant, breastfeeding, allergic to Gram-positive proteins, or have extreme allergies.
Belotero is a common and simple procedure. Prior to treatment, you will give your medical history. Be sure to list any known allergies, as well as any prescription and OTC medications you are taking. Lidocaine is typically administered as a local anesthetic to control and minimize pain at the injection site. For clarity, a marker may be used to identify the intended area of treatment. Next, an antiseptic solution is used to clean the treatment site.
After proper preparation of the treatment area, the doctor begins the injection with a fine-gauge needle. Sometimes, following the injection, the area is lightly massaged to allow the filler to spread, which helps it to appear more natural. The timing of the procedure varies according to the areas being treated. It may take as little as 15 minutes or as long as an hour. With Belotero NYC patients may need a retouch following the initial injection(s) to acquire the volume or line reduction that they desire.
There is minimal preparation required prior to receiving Belotero injections. Remember to provide a complete medical history, including medications you are currently taking or have recently ended. Belotero requires no pretests for allergies. You’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions before you begin receiving the procedure. Relax and enjoy your transition to smoother and healthier-looking skin.
