Belotero in Melbourne, FL

What is Belotero?

A tool in the facial rejuvenation toolbox, Belotero can resolve problems ranging from hollows under the eyes to loss of volume in the lips, as well as in-between issues like gauntness in the cheeks. Although it was only approved for use in the United States in 2011, it has quickly become a go-to filler due to its unique texture. Like many other facial fillers, Belotero is based on hyaluronic acid, a moisture-binding compound that occurs naturally within the skin. Most traditional fillers have a thicker texture, though, while the filler is composed of a thin gel that can be easily contoured without the risk of lumps or overfilling, making it a natural fit for thin-skinned regions such as under the eyes. Plumping up the skin around the lips or under the eyes can rejuvenate aging skin, leading to a younger, more alert look. It can even be used to smooth fine lines such as crow’s feet for a totally fresh effect.

The Injections

Belotero injections are a quick and easy process that will be performed right in Dr. Clevens’ office. In most cases, no pain relief is needed, but if you prefer, a local anesthetic can be used. Afterward, Dr. Clevens will apply Belotero to the necessary regions in a quick series of injections. The entire process will take no more than half an hour, and no recovery period is necessary. Many patients opt to do it during their lunch hour.
