BELOTERO®
If you suffer from fine lines, wrinkles, bags under your eyes, or acne scars, Belotero may be for you. Belotero is a dermal filler made primarily of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in our bodies that helps with hydration and skin volume and elasticity. When you visit us in Washington, D.C., Belotero can potentially take years off your face by smoothing out fine lines and eliminating under-eye bags.

What Areas of the Face Can Be Treated With Belotero?
Belotero can be used on many parts of the face to give a smoother, fuller look. It generally works especially well for fine lines, superficial acne scars, lip lines and under-eye circles. Fine lines around the lips can create a pinched look and add age. Belotero can smooth out those fine lines, resulting in an instantly more youthful look in the right candidate. Fine lines around the eyes are similarly telling of age, while under eye circles can make a person seem tired and stressed. Acne scars that are close to the skin’s surface can potentially be reduced with Belotero alone, while deeper acne scars may be treated with a combination of fillers and other office treatments. Belotero can provide a quick, effective way to instantly take years off a person’s face. Results vary depending on the individual.

Explore Customized TreatmentsHow Does Belotero Work?
Belotero is made primarily of hyaluronic acid. As we age, we lose our naturally occurring hyaluronic acid, which leads to loss of elasticity and volume. Belotero can restore that hyaluronic acid at targeted points in the skin, instantly helping to fill wrinkles and create a youthful, smooth appearance in the right individuals.
Belotero should be completely safe when performed by an experienced dermatologist such as Dr. Melda Isaac or Dr. Daniel Yanes. The procedure takes very little time, and results can often be seen almost immediately following treatment, with full results usually appearing over the next week. Side effects should be limited to some potential redness, swelling, or bruising around the injection site, which usually disappear within just a few days and can be covered with makeup. If you experience any worse side effects, contact your doctor immediately.
Liquid Facelift with Belotero
Belotero is often used in conjunction with other dermal fillers such as Radiesse. In fact, it is a key component in what is called a “liquid facelift.” A liquid facelift uses a combination of different dermal fillers targeting different areas in order to better achieve a total rejuvenation effect. It is a popular option for people who perhaps don’t have the time to spare for a full facelift but would still like to rejuvenate their entire face as best they can.
A Reputation Built on Results
Other Dermal Filler Options
We offer several other FDA-approved fillers that may be recommended instead of Belotero, such as the following:
- Bellafill® is a smooth gel containing tiny microspheres suspended in collagen that stimulate continued collagen production. It is a great option for treating wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and acne scars. Results last up to 5 years.
- RADIESSE® contains CaHA (calcium hydroxylapatite) microspheres that restore volume and stimulate collagen production. We often use it to enhance and rejuvenate the hands, cheeks, and nose. It can also correct wrinkles and facial folds. Results last 12+ months.
- Teoxane RHA fillers contain resilient hyaluronic acid (RHA) specially formulated to move with the face and give it support. This family of fillers includes options for wrinkles, thin lips, and lost facial volume. Results last up to 18 months.
- JUVÉDERM® family of fillers contain hyaluronic acid for a natural look and feel as well as lidocaine for minimal discomfort during injection. This ever-growing family includes multiple fillers formulated for specific concerns such as wrinkles, volume loss, lips, jawline, and more. Results last up to 2 years, depending on the filler and treated area.
- Restylane® family of fillers contain lidocaine and are made with hyaluronic acid to restore volume and hydration in the skin. This family of fillers includes options specifically formulated for the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, fine lines, and more. Results last up to 18 months, depending on the filler and treated area.
- Sculptra® Aesthetic is actually not a filler; it is a collagen stimulator that contains poly-L-lactic acid. We use it to restore volume to the backs of the hands and in hollows of the cheeks and temples, smooth out smile lines and marionette lines around the mouth, and more. Results develop gradually and last up to 2 years.
We often combine fillers to provide more complete facial rejuvenation than possible with one filler on its own.
