BELOTERO®

Belotero® is hyaluronic acid based filler which is ideal for smoothing and filling wrinkles as well as for lip augmentation, skin rehydration and for restoring facial volume. It works  best on etched-in lines and wrinkles such as vertical lip lines around the lips. The medical professionals at the Aesthetic Center of Gainesville trust the safety and effectiveness of this gel filler to provide beautiful results.

Belotero® is administered during an in-office appointment that typically takes about 15-30 minutes. The injection treatment, including the dosage, specific formulation, and injection location, is tailored during the procedure to fulfill the patient’s specific needs. The injection is given through a syringe to localized areas on the face. Patients will feel a small prick as the needle inserts through the skin, but any pain or discomfort can be controlled with a topical anesthetic.

Immediately following a Belotero® injection, mild swelling and redness at the injection site are usual. This will subside a few hours after the procedure. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately, but exercise should be avoided for a few hours. Results following the injection will become apparent immediately and usually last between 6-12 months. After the surgery, skin will appear younger and restored.

HOW DOES IT COMPARE?

There are many reputable fillers on the market today, each with their set of benefits.  While several filler products comprised of hyaluronic acid exist, Belotero® helps replenish volume in the soft tissues of the face, effectively improving superficial wrinkles, fine lines and folds. The differences between the hyaluronic fillers can be discussed during the initial consultation. 

IS IT SAFE?

Yes. Belotero® is an FDA-approved injectable that has undergone extensive tests to validate its efficacy and safety. 

WRINKLE RELAXER OR FILLER?

Belotero®, as well as many other injectable fillers, offer a similar result as what may be achieved through BOTOX® or Xeomin®, but the approach is different.  Injectable fillers help to decrease wrinkles by adding volume to certain facial structures that look deflated due to aging or weight loss. By adding volume, the skin’s surface appears fuller and smoother. Wrinkle relaxers temporarily freeze the underlying facial muscles, allowing them to relax which causes the skin’s surface to appear softer and smoother.  A skilled practitioner will be able to determine which procedure would garner the best results.

LONG LASTING?

Belotero® results typically appear immediately and last for an average of 6-12 months.

Belotero® is in a class of its own among fillers since it gets deeper into the skin to provide truly transformative results for up to a whole year. The filler can take care of all of these deep lines, wrinkles, and folds that you hate. To learn more, give our office a call today to set-up a consultation.
