• How Long Does Belotero Last?

  You should see the results immediately after your treatment, and the effects can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months, depending upon the area you have treated.

• Is Belotero better than Juvederm?

  Though Juvéderm and Belotero are both dermal fillers, many people prefer the lower density of Belotero for filling finer lines and wrinkles than Juvéderm. It is injected superficially into your skin using a fine-gauge needle to go higher up in the Dermis layer to create more dramatic results with less product.

• Is Belotero better than Restylane?

  The difference between Belotero and Restylane is that it has been perfected to reduce fine lines. Many experts believe Belotero is better because it is easier to layer, making it a great option as a top-layer filler that can be used on top of deep-layer fillers.

• Does Belotero stimulate collagen?

  Belotero is an FDA-approved injectable form of collagen that helps stimulate the body’s natural production. Belotero has been clinically shown to increase volume up to 6% after just one treatment session. It also boosts your skin cells’ ability to produce new collagen fibers for longer-lasting results with fewer treatments.

• Is Belotero good for under eyes?

  Yes, we often recommend Belotero for the delicate area around the eye. It is well suited as an under-eye filler because it’s made of hyaluronic acid, less likely to cause allergic reactions than other substances used in injections like collagen.

• Who should not use BELOTERO BALANCE?

  BELOTERO BALANCE should not be used in patients with a history of or presence of multiple or severe allergies, including those with a history of anaphylaxis. BELOTERO BALANCE should not be used in patients with allergies to gram-positive bacterial proteins.

• What should I tell my doctor before injections with BELOTERO BALANCE?

  Tell your doctor if you take medicines that affect blood clotting, like aspirin, an NSAID, or warfarin. These medicines may increase your risk of bruising or bleeding at the treatment site. Tell your doctor about a skin reaction like cold sores, cysts, pimples, rashes, hives, or an infection. Treatment with BELOTERO BALANCE should be delayed until the reaction goes away. Tell your doctor if you are taking medicines that affect your immune system.

• What should I do before my Belotero treatment?
  • DO NOT consume alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours before treatment (alcohol may thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising)
  • Avoid anti-inflammatory/blood-thinning medications, if possible, for two weeks before treatment. Medications and supplements such as aspirin, vitamin E, ginkgo Biloba, ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Omega 3/Fish Oil supplements, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, and other NSAIDS have a blood-thinning effect. They can increase the risk of bruising and swelling after injections.
  • Schedule your Belotero appointment at least two weeks before a special event you may be attending, such as a wedding or a vacation. Bruising and swelling may be apparent in that period.
  • Discontinue Retin-A 2 days before and two days after treatment. Reschedule your appointment at least 24 hours in advance if you have a rash, cold, sore, or blemish in the area.
  • Before your procedure, ensure a good breakfast, including food and drink. This will decrease the chances of lightheadedness during your treatment.
  • You are not a candidate if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• What should I do after my Belotero treatment?
  • Avoid significant movement or massage of the treated area. Unless instructed by the provider.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
  • Avoid extensive sun or heat for 72 hours.
  • Avoid consuming excess amounts of alcohol or salts to avoid excess swelling.
  • If you have swelling, you may apply a cool compress for 15 minutes each hour.
  • Use Tylenol for discomfort.
  • Try to sleep face up and slightly elevated if you experience swelling.
  • Take Arnica to help the bruising and swelling; start at least two days before injections.
