Belotero Balance
Belotero Balance is an injection approved to smooth out moderate to severe nasolabial folds temporarily. These folds, or wrinkles, go from the side of the nose down to the corner of the mouth. This treatment reduces the appearance of these folds and offers patients a more youthful look and smoother skin.
Consultation
It is crucial to schedule a consultation before having Belotero Balance injections. During the consultation, let the doctor know about current medications, especially those that affect blood clotting, and discuss any current skin conditions or reactions to previous injection treatments. During the consultation, ask a lot of questions and discuss any concerns with the doctor.
Benefits
There are many benefits to receiving Belotero Balance injections, including being able to look younger. This dermal filler helps smooth out etched-in facial lines and wrinkles while offering a natural feel to the touch. Additionally, receiving these injections allows patients to maintain normal movement and facial expressions. Treatment is quick and provides noticeable results with little to no downtime.
Treatment
Belotero Balance treatment is an injectable dermal filler with hyaluronic acid injected into the area between the nose and corners of the mouth. The dermal filler helps compensate for the collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, which the body begins to lose as we age. This injection explicitly treats these lines between the nose and mouth, integrating itself within the skin tissue.
Post-Treatment
The doctor provides patients with a list of things to do within the first few days post-treatment. It is best for patients receiving this injection treatment to avoid strenuous activity, direct sunlight, aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and alcoholic beverages the first 24 hours after treatment. Some patients experience slight side effects after receiving Belotero Balance injections. However, these reactions are minimal and generally subside in less than a week.
Results
Patients should see results within a few days of treatment as injection site swelling diminishes. Individual results after receiving Belotero Balance vary, and most see results lasting about six months or longer. Areas where there is a lot of facial movement due to eating, smiling or talking, may see results fade sooner than other areas around the nose and mouth. Depending on how long desired results last, some patients need to return for additional injections in about six months after initial injection treatment.
Side Effects
The severity of side effects varies by the patient; however, the most common side effects include swelling, redness, itching, bruising, and slight pain at the injection site. Other side effects are rare but include headache, swelling along the nose, development of a cold sore, lip numbness, and lip dryness. These side effects generally resolve themselves within a week after treatment.
Questions about side effects should be directed to the doctor administering the injections. If more severe complications or side effects develop, patients must seek immediate medical attention.

Rare but serious adverse events associated with the intravascular injection of soft tissue fillers in the face have been reported and include temporary or permanent vision impairment, blindness, cerebral ischemia or cerebral hemorrhage, leading to stroke, skin necrosis, and damage to underlying facial structures. Immediately stop the injection if a patient exhibits any of the following symptoms, including changes in vision, signs of a stroke, blanching of the skin, or unusual pain during or shortly after the procedure. Patients should receive prompt medical attention and possibly evaluation by an appropriate health care practitioner specialist should an intravascular injection occur.
As with all events that involve an injection through the skin, there is a risk of infection. Laser treatments or chemical peels or any other treatments that affect the skin can increase the risk of infection. Do not use BELOTERO BALANCE if you have a skin inflammation or a skin infection. Do not use until the infection is healed.
Patients getting BELOTERO BALANCE may have an injection site reaction. These reactions can include inflammation and usually last less than seven days.
For approximately 24 hours after treatment, avoid:

- extensive sun or heat exposure
- aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
- alcoholic beverages
