Belotero Balance® (+)

A Smooth Hyaluronic Acid Filler for Fine Lines and Subtle Correction

Belotero Balance® (+) by Merz Aesthetics is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler with a smooth, flexible consistency designed to integrate with the surrounding tissue.

Its characteristics make it particularly useful when subtle correction and smooth integration within the skin are desired.

What Is Belotero Balance?

Belotero Balance is an injectable filler made with hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found within the skin.

Different hyaluronic acid fillers are manufactured with different characteristics. Some are firmer and designed to provide structure or projection, while others are softer and more flexible.

Belotero Balance is designed to integrate smoothly into the surrounding tissue, allowing correction without creating unnecessary bulk.

Belotero Balance (+) also contains lidocaine to improve comfort during treatment.

How Does Belotero Compare With Other Dermal Fillers?

Think about the fabrics used by different athleisure brands.

One might feel buttery smooth. Another might have considerably more stretch. Another may be firmer and particularly good at holding its shape.

None is necessarily better than the others. The right choice depends on what you need the material to do.

Dermal fillers are similar.

Different fillers vary in firmness, flexibility, cohesivity, and how they interact with the surrounding tissue. That's why filler families contain multiple products rather than one filler being used everywhere.

Belotero offers a silky, smooth filler that integrates beautifully with the surrounding tissue, making it useful when the goal is natural, subtle correction.

What Can Belotero Balance Treat?

Belotero Balance is FDA approved for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds but we use it to treat the delicate under eye area.

Its smooth characteristics also make it useful when treating areas where a more superficial or subtle correction is desired.

Why Don't You Use the Same Filler Everywhere?

A filler that works beautifully in one part of the face may be completely wrong for another.

For example, creating structure along a jawline requires very different product characteristics from subtly correcting a fine line.

Choosing a filler therefore involves more than selecting a brand. We consider:

Treatment area
Depth of injection
Skin thickness
Degree of facial movement
Amount of structural support needed
Desired degree of correction
Your individual anatomy

In some areas, Belotero's smooth integration makes it an excellent choice. In others, a firmer or more structural filler may produce a better result.

What Should I Expect After Treatment?

Results are visible immediately, although temporary swelling can initially affect the appearance of the treated area.

Other temporary effects may include:

Bruising
Redness
Tenderness
Swelling
Firmness

These effects generally improve as the treatment area heals and the filler settles.

Why Does Injector Experience Matter?

Natural-looking filler treatment depends on choosing both the right product and the right technique.

Understanding facial anatomy, skin thickness, tissue characteristics, facial movement, injection depth, and the properties of different fillers allows treatment to be customized rather than using the same product in every patient and every area.

Is Belotero Balance Right for You?

Belotero Balance may be appropriate when smooth integration and subtle correction are desired, but no single filler is ideal for every treatment area.
