BELOTERO®

As we age, our skin inevitably loses its youthful appearance as the production of natural dermal volumisers and moisturisers such as hyaluronic acid (HA) diminish, leaving lines and wrinkles where our skin once was youthful, even and radiant. Today, the signs and symptoms of the natural ageing process can be reduced by replacing lost hyaluronic acid.

About Belotero®

Belotero is an HA filler, which smoothes and fills fine lines and wrinkles, recreating the skin’s natural plumpness while also rehydrating. Belotero is made from the same volumising and hydrating component that already exists in the skin – known as hyaluronic acid (HA). HA can carry up to 1000 times its own weight in water, which means the skin’s smoothness (the hydrating effect) and the fat deposits (the volumising effect) are retained. The product is therefore a natural choice for people who want fewer lines and wrinkles.

The Belotero® range of fillers with its gel-texture is manufactured using a patented Dynamic Cross-Linking Technology that results among others in a monophasic Cohesive Polydensified Matrix (CPM). This advanced DCLT technology provides the ideal balance of cohesivity, elasticity, and plasticity to meet the needs of the targeted layer of the skin.

Belotero’s patented technology is registered throughout the world and is both FDA-approved and CE-marked. Belotero aims to provide quality and the best products containing HA for a guaranteed result, which is both natural and long-lasting.

Belotero – the portfolio

Belotero range offers an extended range for smoothing and filling wrinkles, lip augmentation, restoring facial volumes and rehydrating skin. The Belotero products can be used individually or in combination to tailor an aesthetic solution depending on the skin’s structural and functional needs with predictable and natural outcomes.

Nearly the complete Belotero range of fillers is now also available with lidocaine. The influence of lidocaine even endures after the injection procedure.

NEW – Belotero Revive

For some time now, Nosomed has seen a demand for a Skin Booster in the BELOTERO portfolio. It is therefore a pleasure for us to be able to tell you, that NOW it is FINALLY here. It’s called BELOTERO Revive. It’s a brand new product that is targeted at the increasing demand in the category of Skin Quality Boosters.

Skin Quality Boosters is a fast-growing aesthetic treatment, and meets the needs of many younger patients, who do not want volume, but rather want a smoother, more uniform skin and improved skin quality. BELOTERO Revive is also suitable for the more mature skin, for improving the elasticity and firmness of the skin, as well as smoothing out fine and superficial lines on the face.

BELOTERO REVIVE consists of 20 mg / ml HA + 17 mg / ml glycerol and comes in a 1ml syringe without lidocaine. It is cross-linked (+) with a lower ratio than BELOTERO Soft and has the highest cohesiveness within the BELOTERO range. It is extremely suitable for superficial injection and blanching.

BELOTERO Revive is based on the same unique technology as the other BELOTERO products. It is manufactured using a patented dynamic, cross-linked technology, which results in a monophasic cohesive polydensified matrix (CPM) gel. This technology creates the best balance between cohesiveness, elasticity and plasticity that is needed, to ensure the most optimal integration into the skin, and thus a natural and durable result.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you want to know more about getting a treatment with Belotero, you will find the frequently asked questions down below. Click on the question to see the answer.

How long does the treatment take?

Once you are happy to proceed with your treat- ment, your practitioner will ask you questions about your medical history, current medications and any other relevant medical information.
During the treatment session, the product is injected into the specific area of the skin to be treated, using a very fine needle/cannula. The treatment is quick, typically taking about 30 minutes.

Does it hurt?

When injecting into the skin to correct lines and wrinkles, to sculpt contours or for rehydration, the treatment is relatively painless. Some people may experience the treatment as a mild dis- comfort. Our fillers are now available with lidocaine and help to reduce the sensation of pain you may feel and to maximise your comfort.

Will the treated area become hard or feel unusual?

Belotero integrates so readily into your own tissue that unlike other fillers, you are unlikely to feel the implant when you touch the treated area. This is especially important in areas like your lips, where you will want to see the results but not necessarily feel anything different.

How soon can I return to normal activities?

Some patients experience swelling or redness after injection which usually subsides soon after treatment. Some return to work immediately after treatment. As Belotero®  is applied by injection you may experience a slight bruise, but nothing that a little concealer can‘t hide.

Will I notice the difference right away?

Yes, the aesthetic results are immediate. As the treatment is less invasive than surgery, you will be able to continue your daily activities as soon as your appointment is over!

How long will Belotero last?

Duration depends on many factors, such as the type of treatment, the treated area, the individual’s skin type, skin condition lifestyle and age.

Are there any risks or side effects with Merz products?

Our products are based on hyaluronic acid, a natural component of the skin. They are therefore less likely to cause an allergic reaction and no preliminary allergy test is
necessary. There are however, some injection related reactions which may occur and include slight redness, swelling, itching, bruising,
pain at the injection site. The reactions which are completely normal, are generally mild to moderate and usually disappear shortly after injection. They typically resolve spontaneously within one or two days. Be sure to inform
your doctor of any and all allergies, especially to lidocaine, before treatment. You should always discuss any side effects and/or post treatment reactions with your practitioner.
Your practitioner is fully qualified, don’t be afraid to ask many questions.
