What Is Belotero Balance®?
Belotero Balance® Dermal Filler is made of a substance called hyaluronic acid (or HA), which is a natural component of skin. As we age, the skin loses its youthful appearance as the production of natural support structures diminish. Over time, those structures such as hyaluronic acid, commonly called HA, begin to disappear, resulting in lines and wrinkles. With Belotero Balance, you can replace HA lost during the natural aging process. Belotero Balance Dermal Filler has unique properties that allow for it to adapt within the skin for soft results, making it an ideal dermal filler to plump wrinkles and folds. Once injected, it instantly smooths the lines and wrinkles in your face.
About Belotero
Belotero Balance Dermal Filler is injected into the skin in a simple, quick procedure that can even be done using a fine gauge needle over your lunch hour. Belotero Balance Dermal Filler was FDA approved in September 2011 for the correction of moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, and has undergone testing in a clinical trial to prove its safety. It was first launched in Germany in 2005 and has been used extensively throughout Europe.
Belotero Balance is slightly different from other available HA-based fillers and can be injected using a finer gauge (smaller) needle. Belotero Balance is also less likely to cause the bluish tinge under the skin that occurs with some other fillers. Belotero Balance is an excellent filler for fine lines that were not readily treated with other, thicker HA-based fillers.
