Belotero

At Marcus Medical, we are proud to offer our discerning clients Belotero – an extremely effective filler that smooths fine to moderate lines and wrinkles around the mouth to restore a younger-looking facial appearance.

What is Belotero?

As we grow older, wrinkles around the lips and nasolabial folds (the lines and wrinkles that run from the side of the nose to the corners of the mouth) become deeper and significantly more pronounced. As one of the most prominent signs of aging, these lines can add years to your appearance. Fortunately, Belotero is available. This prescription injectable medicine is designed to evenly smooth and fill in fine-to-moderate nasolabial folds, achieving a smooth and natural appearance that ensures you look as young and vibrant as you feel.

How Does Belotero Work?

Over time, our skin begins to lose naturally occurring components that keep it young, including collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. As these components disappear, the skin becomes more susceptible to develop permanent lines and wrinkles. With an active ingredient of hyaluronic acid, Belotero is a smooth, flexible gel that blends into the organic structure of your skin. In this way, it fills in stubborn lines and wrinkles around the mouth and nose, while preserving your skin’s natural texture and normal facial movement.

What to Expect During Your Belotero Treatments

During your consultation for among the best Belotero Redondo Beach has to offer, our experienced specialists will begin by carefully evaluating your facial anatomy and signs of aging as a whole. From there, we will compose a custom treatment plan designed to use the injectable medicine to minimize any deep folds and fine lines that have developed around your mouth.

During your actual treatments, we will begin by cleaning the area thoroughly and applying a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. We will then place a series of strategic injections to achieve the precise look you desire, with the entire process lasting approximately thirty minutes.

What to Expect After Your Belotero Treatments

After your Belotero injections, you may experience some mild swelling, redness, bruising and tenderness at the injection site, though these effects will resolve on their own within one week. There is very little to no downtime associated with the treatment, and most patients are able to resume their normal daily activities right after their visit. However, we do recommend avoiding strenuous activity, extensive sun or heat exposure and alcohol for at least 24 hours after your injections to ensure an optimal outcome.

Results

Following your Belotero treatments, you can expect to see an immediate improvement in the lines and wrinkles around your mouth, with a smooth and supple facial appearance. When performed by our experts at Marcus Medical, your results will last approximately six months, at which point you will need a follow-up treatment to preserve your youthful new look.

Am I a Good Candidate for Belotero?

At Marcus Medical, we’re committed to personalized care, and we only administer fillers if it’s truly in the client’s best interest. As such, we determine candidacy for all of our treatments on an individual basis, following a thorough discussion of your cosmetic goals, concerns and desires.

However, in general, individuals are considered to be candidates for Belotero if they are at least 21 years of age and wish to treat fine to moderate lines and wrinkles around the mouth without undergoing an invasive surgical procedure.
