This Los Angeles patient was interested in a solution for fine line wrinkles on her forehead and in between her brows. These lines are caused by facial expression muscles in these regions of the face. Also creases are likely to appear when the skin has lost its original firmness and elasticity. This is often caused by overexposure to the sun’s harmful rays. The patient did not want to used Botox or Dysport to relax the muscles in these areas. So instead, Belotero was used as a frown line filler and also to get rid of forehead creases.

What Is Belotero?

Belotero is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler that was approved by the FDA in November 2011. Although it is related to Juvederm and Restlylane, it is processed differently using a technology called Polydensified Cohesive Matrix. Due to the unique cross linking structure among the hyaluronic acid molecules, Belotero is considered to be a  monophasic compound. It is not a particulate clear colloid gel which may entail issues such as:

1) The Tyndall effect

The Tyndall effect is characterized by a bluish hue that is seen through the skin. This is caused by the way light refracts as it passes through a clear suspension.

2) Clumping

Lumps may form from using particulate forms of hyaluronic acid. Therefore older forms of HA such as Juvederm and Restylane need to be injected deep beneath the surface to help avoid this.

Belotero is a  lightweight and uniform substance. Therefore, it is really first of its kind with the ability to be injected close to the skin’s surface to fill in fine lines.
