What is Belotero?Belotero has been designed from biofermentation hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in our body; which the makers claim makes it safe and completely biocompatible, as well as wholly biodegradable.
How is It Made?
- It is created using Cohesive Polydensified Matrix (CPM) technology, a unique process which gives Belotero hylauronic acid unusual elasticity; (this technolology adds to its "mono-phasic" nature).
- Belotero therefore guarantees a considerably better result from the first hours after the injection and over the initial months, in terms of increased volume and wrinkle filling compared to "biphasic" products.
- Belotero is prepared from non-animal, hyaluronic acid NaHA by a patented dynamic reticulation process. The unique polydensified cohesive structure of Belotero consists of a cohesive gel which is easy to inject through a small diameter needle.
Reported Side Effects :
- Transient erythema (redness), swelling, pain, itching, discoloration or tenderness at the implant site. Typically resolution is spontaneous, within one or two days after injection into the skin, and within a week after injection into the lips.
- The manufacturers state that there is no risk of granulomas and no risk of 'lump effect' - although the product may be too new to identify these rare reactions which can occur with other hyaluronic acid fillers.
