What Is BELOTERO®?

BELOTERO BALANCE® is an FDA-approved dermal filler made with hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in your skin that helps it stay hydrated and plump. Unlike other fillers, BELOTERO is uniquely formulated to smooth fine lines and integrate evenly into your skin for a natural, flexible finish.

Who Is a Good Candidate for BELOTERO?

BELOTERO is an excellent option for adults who want to soften facial lines, restore subtle volume, and achieve smoother, more youthful-looking skin. It’s ideal for those with mild to moderate wrinkles and anyone seeking natural results without significant downtime.

How Does BELOTERO Work?

Once injected, BELOTERO binds to water in your skin tissue, instantly filling fine lines and wrinkles from within. The hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture, supporting a youthful texture and suppleness over time.

What Areas Does BELOTERO Treat?

BELOTERO BALANCE is versatile and effective in treating:

• Fine lines around the mouth (smile lines)
• Vertical lip lines
• Nasolabial folds (lines from nose to mouth)
• Marionette lines (lines framing the chin)
• Under-eye hollows
• Other delicate facial areas where a smoother texture is desired

This injectable treatment blends seamlessly into your skin, enhancing natural contours and rejuvenating your look without appearing “overdone.”

• Smooths and softens fine lines and wrinkles
• Offers natural, flexible movement
• Quick, comfortable, and minimally invasive

What to Expect During Your Treatment at Skin Cancer & Dermatology Institute

Your Dermatology Provider will begin with a quick consultation, then carefully inject BELOTERO into targeted areas using a fine needle or cannula. The filler contains lidocaine for added comfort, and most patients describe the treatment as a light “pinch.”

How Long Does the BELOTERO Treatment Take?

A typical session takes about 30 minutes from start to finish, making it easy to fit into your schedule – even during a lunch break.

Is There Any Downtime?

Most patients return to normal activities immediately. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness for a day or two, which usually resolves quickly.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Common, temporary side effects include minor swelling, redness, bruising, or itching at injection sites. These fade within a few days. Severe reactions are rare, but your Dermatology Provider will review all safety details during your consultation.

What Results Can I Expect?

You will notice smoother skin and softened lines immediately after treatment. Over the following days, the filler continues to blend with your skin for a refined finish. Results typically last 6 to 12 months, depending on your skin type, treated areas, and lifestyle. Maintenance treatments help sustain your refreshed look year-round.
