Belotero® is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler designed to soften facial lines and folds while integrating smoothly with the surrounding tissue. At Funt Aesthetics, Dr. David K. Funt uses his extensive experience with facial anatomy and injectable treatments to determine where Belotero may provide subtle correction without creating an overly filled appearance.
Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in the body and helps support hydration and volume in the skin. Belotero Balance is FDA-approved for injection into the mid-to-deep dermis to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, including nasolabial folds.
What Can Belotero® Improve?
Belotero is designed to add soft volume where facial folds and wrinkles have become more noticeable. Its smooth gel consistency allows it to blend with the surrounding tissue while preserving natural facial movement.
Treatment may help improve:
-
Nasolabial folds around the nose and mouth
-
Other moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds
-
Areas where subtle volume correction is preferred
The best filler depends on the depth of the concern, surrounding anatomy, and the type of support needed. Dr. Funt evaluates these factors before recommending Belotero or another injectable option.
How Does Belotero® Work?
Belotero Balance is a clear, biodegradable hyaluronic acid gel. Once injected, the filler adds volume within the treated tissue, helping soften folds and create a smoother contour. The material is gradually absorbed by the body over time.
Because filler placement can affect nearby facial structures, treatment is customized rather than performed according to a standard injection pattern. The amount used also depends on the degree of correction desired.
What Happens During a Belotero® Treatment?
Belotero injections are performed during an office visit. The treatment area is first evaluated and cleaned before the filler is carefully placed at the appropriate depth.
The procedure itself is relatively brief, and most patients can return to routine activities soon afterward. Dr. Funt may gently massage the area after injection when appropriate to help the product settle evenly.
Additional treatment may be recommended, depending on the extent of correction achieved and the patient’s goals. The FDA labeling notes that individual results vary and that additional injections may be needed to achieve or maintain the desired correction.
Belotero® Recovery and Results
Improvement is visible soon after treatment, although temporary swelling can affect the initial appearance. Redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, or firmness may occur around the injection sites as the area settles.
Belotero results are temporary because the hyaluronic acid is gradually absorbed by the body. How long the improvement remains visible depends on the treatment area, amount of filler used, metabolism, and other individual factors.
Maintenance treatment can be considered when facial folds begin to become more noticeable again.
Why Choose Funt Aesthetics for Belotero®?
Belotero is often chosen for subtle correction, which makes restraint and precise placement especially important. Dr. David K. Funt has extensive experience teaching facial anatomy and injectable techniques to other medical professionals and has lectured nationally and internationally on fillers, neurotoxins, and aesthetic treatment planning. He is also a national instructor for Merz USA, the company associated with Belotero, giving him product-specific experience in addition to his broader background in facial rejuvenation.
Dr. Funt is known for his expertise in preventing and managing filler-related complications, which is an important consideration when injectable treatments are performed near delicate facial structures. At Funt Aesthetics, Belotero treatment is designed around facial movement, tissue depth, and the degree of correction needed so results remain smooth and proportionate.
