Why hyaluronic acid is key to a youthful appearance

The natural aging process of the skin can be accelerated by UV radiation, facial expressions, lack of sleep, hormonal changes and unhealthy diets.5-8 However, even the healthiest lifestyle cannot stop the natural aging process.

This is a result of the skin producing less of its own moisture regulators over time, such as hyaluronic acid – a natural component of connective tissue.9,10 Over time, cells divide more slowly and the concentration of water and fat decreases. As a result, the skin becomes thinner and drier, losing elasticity, volume and contour. Through its ability to bind water, hyaluronic acid cushions the skin together, promoting its elasticity and firmness.

The BELOTERO® collection of premium hyaluronic acid fillers, offers a variety of dermal fillers with different concentrations of hyaluronic acid that are intentionally designed for different treatment outcomes and areas of the face.11–17

What makes us different?

The BELOTERO® difference is the unique patented Cohesive Polydensified Matrix® (CPM®) technology for a lasting effect* into the skin, while respecting facial movement and natural-looking results.20

The special manufacturing process of BELOTERO® called CPM® technology, results in different hyaluronic acid densities, creating a combination of high and low density zones. This allows the gel to “mimic” the behavior of the tissue to ensure optimal integration of the gel into the surrounding tissue. For you, this means that BELOTERO® blends seamlessly into your skin and remains intact for a long-lasting effect.20

*duration is seen up to 18 months in many patients.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a treatment with BELOTERO® work? When does the effect become visible, how long does it last? And are the injections painful? Here are answers to the most important questions.

There is no “right time”. It is a personal decision – whether you are bothered by fine lines or deeper wrinkles and a tired looking face or just want to rejuvenate your skin and create a glowing appearance. The BELOTERO® collection offers a broad spectrum of solutions for your needs.

Consult your aesthetic expert for your treatment plan.

Before each treatment, your aesthetic expert will have a consultation with you in order to learn more about your desires and expectations. This is followed by developing and explaining a suggested, personalized treatment plan in line with your needs. Once you’ve made your decision, the treatment can begin. Your aesthetic expert will inject the selected BELOTERO® products directly into the skin of the specific area.

Treatment with BELOTERO® products is generally associated with minimal strain and pain.
However, the sensation of pain is very individual. Except for BELOTERO® REVIVE, all products within the collection are also available with lidocaine for a more painless treatment.11–17 In addition, local anesthesia can be applied.

Yes, you can see the result shortly after the treatment. It will further settle over some days.

BELOTERO® is designed to deliver natural-looking results,1-4 and patients report that they are satisfied with the results of the treatment.21,22 You’ll continue to look like yourself but with a fresh glow or natural harmony depending on your treatment choice, personal preference, and desired results.

That depends on the extent of the treatment and the aesthetic expert. Speak to your aesthetic expert about your budget in order for them to advise you accordingly.

During your first consultation, your aesthetic expert will discuss your treatment goals and expectations with you. Depending on the areas to be treated, a consultation (without a preliminary conversation) should take between 15 and 45 minutes.

While the results of a treatment with BELOTERO® are long-lasting,15,23 they are not permanent, as the body naturally breaks down the hyaluronic acid gel over time. Most patients refresh the treatment after a period of 6 to 18 months.11-17

The BELOTERO® products were well tolerated in various studies.24–29 An injection may lead to minimal bleeding and temporary swelling.11–17 Speak to your treating aesthetic expert about any pre-existing medical conditions or sensitivities that you might have. They can then discuss potential reactions and side effects with you.

The products within the BELOTERO® collection have been designed to work well together and to complete each other within their designated purposes. Regarding complementary treatments with other dermal fillers, please speak with your aesthetic expert for expert consultation.

In general, make sure that your treatment is carried out by a well-trained and experienced specialist. Our Doctor Locator can help you find specialists in your area.
