When You Have Wrinkles, You Need Belotero

Belotero is a mild dermal filler that can help eliminate wrinkles and fine lines from the face. Belotero is ideal for those who wish to rejuvenate their youthful look without having to undergo highly invasive treatments.

Details About Belotero

The filler material in Belotero is hyaluronic acid. This is a substance that naturally occurs in the in the body so there is no risk of an allergic reaction. It aids in assisting bodily functions such as the absorption of water and nutrients. When injected, hyaluronic acid can immediately expand to fill wrinkles and add volume to the skin.

Due to the hydrating effect of hyaluronic acid, the skin will glow with radiance. The treatment will also help improve collagen production and as a result improve the overall texture of your skin.

Belotero has a very mild or light formula. You can use it to smoothen wrinkles around the mouth and the nose (nasolabial folds) and around the chin (marionette lines). It can also help you get rid of crows’ feet and fade forehead lines.

The injectable is very effective in treating vertical lines above the lips (perioral lines). You can also use Belotero to enhance your lips, add volume in sunken areas on your face, and enhance the natural contours of your face.

The results from Belotero can last for a few months, but you can return for more treatments down the line for lasting results.

Other Reasons to Opt for Belotero

Other than its benefits for treating facial wrinkles, there are many other reasons to opt for Belotero.

The treatment provides patients with a quick and efficient way to improve their facial aesthetic without the need to undergo a long period of recovery. One session can be completed in as little as 30 minutes.

Belotero carries minimal allergy risks as hyaluronic acid already exists in the body. So, your body will not treat the filler material as a foreign substance and work to remove it. The results provided by the treatment look natural due to the inclusion of hyaluronic acid in the composition.

Due to its thin and light composition, Belotero treatment doesn’t cause any unsightly bumps on the skin. Another benefit of Belotero is that it doesn’t cause light bluish marks on the skin that commonly appear in other, more dense fillers. Due to its light formula, it is also very effective to use around the mouth area. The skin is quite thin around the mouth and can benefit greatly from mild fillers.

Treatment Consideration

If you wish to use Belotero, you should talk to a board-certified doctor about your expectations from a filler treatment. Your doctor will determine the right treatment plan for you based on you the degree of correction you require and your personal aesthetic goals. The process of injecting hyaluronic acid requires precision and great care. So, it is important to seek treatment only from qualified and experienced doctors.

With the Belotero treatment, your skin may experience some mild swelling and redness, but these side effects are temporary and will subside soon after the session is completed.

You can’t undergo Belotero treatment during pregnancy or while you are breastfeeding. You may need to refrain from using pain medications, vitamin supplements, and smoking a few weeks before and after your Belotero sessions. It is a standard precaution for medical and cosmetic treatments to minimize risks.
