Belotero
Patients seeking an option for more beautiful, youthful-looking skin often turn to Dr. Shaun Patel at Miami Skin and Vein to discuss their options with regard to cosmetic injectables. And often, this conversation turns to the treatment of fine lines.
Belotero Balance is a soft, hyaluronic acid based gel filler. It was developed in Switzerland, and is FDA-approved for use in the United States.
Since removal of collagen fillers from the market, there has been a void when it comes to fillers useful for treatment of fine lines directly under the skin. Fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane are too thick to treat these very superficial fine lines.
Belotero, with its smaller particle size, smooth consistently, and ability to integrate completely into the skin tissue provides an ideal solution fine lines, particularly around the mouth. Dr. Patel oftens describes Belotero Balance as his go-to fine lines filler. When it comes to giving patients a nice fill and finish, it is Belotero that provides the finish!
As an FDA-approved dermal filler, Belotero Balance injectables are a great treatment option for patients looking to improve their facial features but aren’t looking to undergo a lengthy surgical procedure or a long recovery time. It can provide multiple benefits, such as:
Ideal candidates for Belotero Balance are those who are experiencing signs of aging, such as volume loss, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and wrinkles. However, Belotero is not just for patients who are exhibiting signs of aging. It can also be used on anyone looking to enhance their facial features by adding filler to the lips, cheeks, or chin.
If you are allergic to any ingredients within dermal fillers, this procedure may not be right for you.
Like any other injectable treatment, there are a few side effects that come with Belotero. These side effects include:
While these side effects are very common for patients who get injectables, they also do not last long. If you notice that your side effects have not disappeared or are worsening after several days post-treatment, contact our team at Miami Skin & Vein as soon as possible.
At Miami Skin & Vein, Dr. Patel and our team prioritize patient comfort and safety with each procedure. Other than common side effects such as swelling or redness, Belotero can come with more serious risks. However, these risks are often rare. They can include;
If you experience any of these complications after receiving your Belotero treatment, contact Dr. Patel as soon as possible.
Preparing ahead of time for Belotero Balance treatment can help ensure optimal results. Before receiving your injections, we recommend patients do the following:
There is no downtime required after a Belotero Balance treatment. Patients can return to work or school almost immediately after receiving Belotero injections. For the first several days, mild swelling, redness, and bruising may occur at the injection site. The results from Belotero injections can be seen immediately.
However, to optimize your results, we recommend patients stick to the following:
The cost for Belotero Balance injections can range between $600 and $1200 depending on the treatment area and who is performing the procedure. Other factors, such as location and treatment area, can affect your overall cost.
At Miami Skin + Vein, we are happy to work with every patient to find a financing option that works for you to achieve the look you want with Belotero.
Despite injectables being a popular way to enhance your appearance, there are still many misconceptions people have about them. These include:
Because Belotero fillers are all designed to treat a specific aesthetic and part of the face, the results can easily appear natural-looking. With the highly skilled team at Miami Skin & Vein, patients can feel confident knowing our providers will approach each Belotero injection with precision and accuracy.
Dermal fillers, including Belotero, are not permanent. Because Belotero fillers are made up of hyaluronic acid, any filler may be reversed if you are unhappy with your appearance.
Belotero requires very little to no downtime. Some swelling may be seen in the treatment area for a couple of days after treatment, but most patients return to their daily routines immediately after receiving their injections.
Dr. Patel often combines multiple cosmetic injectables in a single treatment session. Belotero works well with neuromodulators such as Botox, as well as collagen stimulators (Sculptra, Radiesse), and other hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers available in our practice.
Coral Gables-area patients who have considered cosmetic injectables are encouraged to make an appointment with Dr. Patel at Miami Skin and Vein to discuss the advantages of using Belotero and other treatments to turn back the aging process. Dr. Shaun Patel is ready and willing to assist with your skin concerns.
