What is Belotero Balance®?

Belotero Balance® is a hyaluronic acid filler created by Merz, the same company that manufactures the neurotoxin, Xeomin®. Belotero Balance® can be used to temporarily smooth out and fill in moderate to severe superficial wrinkles on the face.

Am I a candidate for Belotero Balance® injections?

The primary consideration for treatment is the characteristics of your anti-aging needs. Dr. Hooper or Dr. Jackson will perform a detailed analysis of your anatomy and determine if Belotero Balance® is the best treatment for you.

How are Belotero Balance® injections performed?

We apply a topical numbing agent 20-30 minutes before injections to ensure the most comfortable experience for our patients.  Our Belotero Balance® contains a local anesthetic, increasing comfort during injection. Belotero Balance® is loaded in a sterile syringe and expertly injected by Dr. Hooper or Dr. Jackson.

What is recovery like after Belotero Balance® injections?

You may or may not experience mild redness, tenderness or bruising after filler treatment. We recommend stopping any blood thinners not prescribed by a physician for 1-2 weeks before filler injections to prevent the risk of bruising. Examples of these are Aspirin, NSAIDS like Advil (Ibuprofen) or Aleve (Naproxen Sodium), Vitamin E, Fish Oil, Ginkgo, Green Tea, Garlic, Ginseng, St John’s Wort, and alcoholic beverages.

How long does Belotero Balance® last?

Belotero Balance® typically lasts several months or longer, depending on the location of injection and the individual’s ability to metabolize the product.
