Belotero

One of the newer FDA-approved dermal fillers on the market today is Belotero®. This hyaluronic acid filler is used for the improvement of fine to moderate lines and wrinkles on the face. It works by adding volume to these areas by rehydrating the skin therefore softening the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

Dr. Maddox injects Belotero® into specific treatment areas to restore the volume and reduce the signs of aging. Areas that have become sunken in and hollow over time can be improved with the use of Belotero® injections. Many areas of the face can be addressed with this injectable, including crow’s feet, lips, and lines around the nose and mouth.

Belotero® is used for fine lines, sagging skin, volume loss in the face and lips, and wrinkles. It is perfect for patients who are not ready for drastic treatments such as plastic surgery but still want to address the signs of aging. Dr. Maddox of Thrive provides Belotero® along with a myriad of other injectables including Botox Cosmetic, Juvéderm®, Restylane®, and Radiesse®.

Belotero® is used in many instances in which delicate areas need to be softened and improved, including the vertical lines above the lips. Mild to severe corrections can be made with this injectable. Several after effects may occur, though mild, which may include swelling, bruising, redness, and itching at the injection site. These are often short-lived and will go away on their own within a few days.
