About Belotero
From Switzerland, BELOTERO® is produced by the renowned German pharmaceutical company Merz Aesthetics. Using its exclusive, patented CPM (Cohesive Polydensified Matrix) technology, the hyaluronic acid is formed into a perfectly smooth, single-phase, multi-density gel — a structure identical to the plumping, moisturizing components naturally found in the skin. This allows a high degree of integration with the skin, making it especially suited to treatment of superficial and mid-dermal layers, while reducing the incidence of the “worm sign,” lumping, swelling, and the Tyndall effect caused by uneven gel distribution. The results look natural, making it a truly next-generation, revolutionary product.

The full range comprises 5 formulations, spanning everything from improving skin quality and correcting wrinkles of varying depth to reshaping facial contours — thoughtfully tailored to different facial areas and injection depths, so you can achieve both a dewy, hydrated complexion and well-defined contours at the same time, with natural, long-lasting results and an effortlessly youthful, flawless look.

Belotero — Features & Advantages
Belotero pioneered Belotero Biomimetic Matrix Technology (BBMT), emphasizing harmony with the skin. By mimicking the skin’s natural state, it achieves a high degree of integration with the skin — silky-smooth, resistant to migration, and highly extensible — reversing signs of aging without leaving a trace.
The biomimetic hyaluronic acid blends seamlessly with tissue, meeting needs ranging from fine superficial lines to deep hollows, and delivering the most authentic, natural-looking results closest to one’s original state. This is why Belotero has achieved cumulative global sales of over 18 million syringes, with user satisfaction ratings exceeding 95%.
Three Key Properties of the Biomimetic, Skin-Compatible Technology
  • Cohesiveness — highly cohesive, resistant to displacement from external force
  • Elasticity — bouncy and plump, providing natural, three-dimensional support
  • Moldability — freely shapeable, holds its form without spreading
FAQ
Hyaluronic acid is highly biocompatible and is naturally metabolized and absorbed by the body. Common post-treatment reactions include mild redness and bruising, which typically resolve on their own within a few days. However, injection remains an invasive medical procedure, so it is recommended to choose a physician with a professional background in plastic surgery or dermatology to reduce the risks associated with improper injection.
Duration varies by brand, formulation, and injection site. Larger-molecule, deep-layer formulations generally last about 12–18 months, while smaller-molecule, superficial hydrating formulations last about 9–12 months. Individual metabolic rate also affects duration — it’s recommended to discuss a follow-up plan with your physician.
Most Belotero products contain a built-in anesthetic, making treatment relatively comfortable. Pain tolerance varies by individual; those more sensitive to pain may wish to apply topical numbing cream for 30–40 minutes (or longer) beforehand, along with an ice pack — a vibration device can also help reduce discomfort. After injection you may notice mild redness, swelling, itching, or a soft, slightly loose sensation at the injection site; this is normal and usually resolves within a few days (exact timing varies by individual). If any reaction persists for more than a week, notify your physician immediately.
With four filler formulations — Soft / Balance / Intense / Volume — plus the Revive skin-booster injection formulation, Belotero suits a wide range of areas and skin depths. Whether it’s fine neck lines, correcting tear troughs using the composite “sandwich” technique for under-eye hollows, or filling large areas such as the apple cheeks or temples, the ideal formulation can be found within this seamless hyaluronic acid range.
Pre-Treatment Notes
  • Patients with allergies, a keloid-prone scarring tendency, systemic or local infection at the injection site, cardiovascular disease, or those on anticoagulant medication should be evaluated by a physician.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women must not receive treatment.
  • Patients who have had prior surgery or implants at the treatment site, or who have received filler treatments (such as hyaluronic acid or micro-crystal fillers) within the past month, should inform their physician in advance.
  • Patients with an allergy to collagen or to anesthetics such as lidocaine require professional evaluation.
  • Aspirin should not be taken before treatment, to avoid bruising at the injection site.
Post-Treatment Care
  • Redness, pain, and itching may occur at the injection site, gradually subsiding over roughly 3–7 days.
  • Avoid cosmetics and other irritating products, and avoid contact with water, for 24 hours after treatment.
  • Avoid facials, strenuous exercise, alcohol, and staying up late for one month.
  • Avoid overheated environments such as saunas, steam rooms, and swimming pools for one week.
  • Reinforce moisturizing, cleansing, and sun protection, and maintain a balanced diet.
