If other dermal fillers have not addressed superficial wrinkles for you, Belotero treatments may be the solution. After treatment, patients have noticeable improvement in the appearance of fine lines, including laugh lines, smoker’s lines, marionette lines, crow’s feet, marionette lines and more.
About Belotero
This cosmetic filler was FDA-approved in 2012 to improve facial contours and rehydrate skin. It is made by the same company that makes Radiesse and it is made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring compound in the body the declines with age.
Belotero is unique because it can treat fine lines and superficial wrinkles, unlike many other fillers on the market. It is approved to treat smile lines, although it is effective against many signs of aging.
It works by integrating with your own collagen, and its unique formulation allows it to address horizontal lines of the neck and even very fine lines in sensitive areas like the mouth and near the eyes.
It may also be used as a more superficial filler in combination with deeper dermal injections like Radiesse. Belotero integrates very well with your natural tissue and will not result in a bluish hue, or Tyndall Effect, that may result with other fillers, even when injected under the eyes where skin is thinner.
