Dermal fillers are safe, gel-like injectable substances that smooth creases, fine lines, and wrinkles to rejuvenate your skin and add volume and fullness to your face. Dermal fillers can be used to enhance your lips, fill your cheeks, straighten out your jawline, soften grooves underneath your eyes, and many other cosmetic alterations to reduce the visible effects of aging. Dermal fillers do not fill in wrinkles but rather add volume to the desired area in order to reduce the appearance of wrinkles in your skin.

FDA-approved dermal fillers can last between six to 12 months before fading and requiring another injection. The lifespan and overall effectiveness of your dermal filler treatment depend on your physiological makeup which is why we recommend consulting your doctor before beginning treatment.

Belotero®

Belotero® is an FDA-approved cosmetic dermal filler that reduces wrinkles and fine lines on the face to ultimately add volume and fullness to the skin. Similar to other dermal fillers, Belotero® is made from hyaluronic acid to provide almost immediate natural-looking volume and softness to facial tissue.

Belotero® is not a permanent treatment and typically lasts about six to nine months, which is a bit longer than other cosmetic dermal fillers. Belotero® treatment can be given here at Mint Medical Spa Group, and only takes a short amount of time to complete. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.

What are the side effects of Belotero®?
Side effects of Belotero® include bruising and redness at the injection site, tenderness, and swelling. The lifespan and effectiveness of Belotero® primarily depends on your physiological makeup, which is why we recommend consulting your doctor before beginning treatment.
