Overview
Your face may have been supple and youthful years ago due to natural elasticity and a wealth of elastin and collagen stored in your body. As you age, your skin loses firmness and elasticity as these natural vitamins begin to diminish, which causes noticeable symptoms of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles, on the face. At The Art of Braces in Las Vegas, NV, Dr. Saoly Benson performs many aesthetic treatments, such as Belotero Balance dermal filler. Belotero is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to repair fine to deep wrinkles and lines around the face, which includes persistent, deep-seated lines, as well as the nasolabial folds near your mouth. A scalpel-free alternative, Belotero is a hyaluronic acid (HA) product that delivers a refreshed and natural appearance.
Reviews
Best Candidates
Belotero injections are wonderful if you hope to correct the appearance of fine to deep facial folds, lines, and wrinkles without opting for a surgical procedure. Belotero is most beneficial for addressing lines around the mouth, such as the nasolabial folds. Prior to the procedure, Dr. Benson will meet with you during a consultation to discuss your current medications, known allergies, and medical history to decide if you are an ideal candidate for Belotero.
What To Expect
At the end of your consultation, you will be escorted to our procedure room to undergo your treatment. Belotero is injected via a very small needle so many individuals do not require a topical or local anesthesia, but it is available upon request to further minimize discomfort. The treatment sites will be identified and prepared before Belotero is injected in several, fast applications. Pressure will be applied to the injection sites for a few moments to control any bleeding, but you will then be free to return to your daily activities.
Recovery
Following your Belotero injections at The Art of Braces, you might have some mild bruising, swelling, and redness around the injection sites — these symptoms will fade in the coming days. You will notice some immediate results after your Belotero treatment that will continue developing in the weeks following the procedure. Belotero results typically last around six months so speak with Dr. Benson about how to maximize your results with repeat sessions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost?
The cost of Belotero will vary, depending on the number of syringes that are needed to address your cosmetic concerns. During your consultation, Dr. Benson will be able to assess your profile and create a custom treatment plan. From there, she can provide an estimate of your cost and go over all your payment options.
How does it work?
There are many reputable fillers on the market today, each with their set of benefits. While several filler products comprised of hyaluronic acid exist, Belotero works a bit differently to interact with the mid to deep dermis for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. The differences between the hyaluronic fillers can be discussed during the initial consultation.
Is it safe?
Belotero is an FDA-approved treatment that has undergone extensive tests to validate its efficacy and safety. It has been in the cosmetic market for years and is popular among both men and women. It is especially a great option for those who wish to diminish nasolabial folds or smile lines.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments needed to attain optimal results will vary from patient to patient. Typically, Belotero results will appear almost immediately and can last up to 6 – 12 months. On average, most patients visit our office 2 – 3 times a year for touch-ups.
Filler or BOTOX?
If you want to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles without having to undergo a surgical procedure, like a facelift, then an injectable treatment may be an ideal solution. While both fillers and BOTOX work to diminish the appearance of wrinkles, they are different. BOTOX temporarily freezes the underlying facial muscles for a smoother appearance, while fillers use a gel to eliminate wrinkles.
