Result of application and special recommendations

The result after the introduction of Belotero Soft is visible immediately after the injection and the first use. Small wrinkles are smoothed out immediately after injection. Due to filling, the skin becomes more elastic, the silhouette of the face is tightened. The effect lasts up to 12 months. But it is worth noting that the time the effect lasts depends on the individual characteristics of the body, as well as compliance with the cosmetologist’s recommendations and lifestyle.

After the procedure, swelling and redness may appear at the injection site; this is a normal reaction of the body to the drug, and everything goes away within a few days. Complete healing occurs approximately two weeks after injections. Until complete healing, it is not recommended to use decorative cosmetics, scratch or touch the injection sites. When exposed to the sun, it is necessary to apply sunscreen. Also, during the healing period, it is contraindicated to go to the pool, drink alcohol, or do other cosmetic procedures. Before carrying out the procedure, it is better to consult a doctor.

Belotero Balance

In basic Belotero, the price of the procedure also includes local anesthesia - lidocaine. This particular implant with lidocaine is a stereotypical one, “for pumping up” the lips (primarily). It works in thin areas, so the use of an anesthetic is justified. Cosmetologists recommend Belotero Balance for:

• Serial point injections.
• Linear retrograde injections.
• Cross injections.
• Subcutaneous invasions.

Application

The production technology ensures the homogeneity and elasticity of the gel, facilitating the administration of the drug. Contouring using injections is carried out only by a specialist who has been trained. Conditions for use must be aseptic to prevent bacteria from entering the skin layers. The drug is designed for use in a cosmetologist’s office.

How the procedure is carried out:

1. First, the client comes for a consultation with a cosmetologist, where a specialist will examine the condition of the skin. He will help you figure out whether the procedure is necessary and, if necessary, select a filler in accordance with the intensity of deformation of the skin tissue.
2. Before starting the procedure, the skin is disinfected to avoid bacteria. At the same time, there should be no inflammation on the skin.
3. At the injection site, the doctor will make marks with a medical marker. It will help indicate the place of needle insertion, the direction of drug administration and the end point of its administration.
4. The specialist will attach the needle that comes in the kit to the tip of the syringe and remove the cap.
5. There are 4 methods of introduction into the upper layers of the skin - multipuncture, linear, “fan”, “mesh”. The linear technique consists of inserting almost the entire length. It should be parallel to the surface of the skin. The needle is slowly withdrawn from the tissue, distributing the filler evenly. This technique is used to correct severe soft tissue deformation, or “depression zone.” The mesh technique involves introducing 2 series of parallel injections linearly, as in the first method. A series of injections are made perpendicular to each other in different layers of the skin. “Mesh” is used to maintain the tone of the skin of the cheeks, correct nasolabial folds and wrinkles on the corners of the lips of medium intensity. The “fan” technique is a type of linear technique. The method involves introducing filler from one point in the direction of diverging rays. After introducing the filler, the needle is not removed, but is turned into the skin at an acute angle. Then the injection procedure is repeated up to 4 times. The technique is used mainly for lip augmentation and correction of nasolabial folds. Multipuncture technique is used for the upper layers of the skin for minor deformities. The method consists of a targeted injection of the drug into the skin. The needle enters at an angle of 30°. The filler is distributed along the wrinkle. The injected drug is connected inside into a single line.

6. When injecting filler, the needle may become clogged. The cosmetologist will replace it with a new one - the package contains 2 needles.
7. After the injections are administered, the puncture site is treated with an antiseptic.
8. The specialist will lightly knead the soft tissues.
9. The intensity of needle insertion and the choice of injection technique are based on the type and intensity of wrinkles.

Hyaluronic acid is a biodegradable substance. It is eliminated from the body on its own. The rate of elimination may vary depending on the characteristics of the organism. On average, the result lasts from 8 to 12 months. Then, if desired, repeat the procedure. The average cost is from 13,000 rubles. up to 16,000 rub.

What does the cost of the procedure include:

1. Initial consultation with a doctor.
2. Correction.
3. Anesthesia if necessary.
4. The price of the drug Belotero itself in the required volume.

Healing period

The rehabilitation period after injections with Belotero is short.
Immediately after the event, swelling and slight redness may form on the skin, which will disappear without a trace in the next few hours (maximum within a day). To avoid complications, you need to follow a number of recommendations for 5-7 days.

• Do not visit the sauna, gym or solarium, because sweat, high temperatures and ultraviolet radiation cause irritation of the epithelium.
• It is worth sticking to a healthy diet, eliminating fatty foods and alcohol from your diet. It is better to give up smoking for a while.

Compound

Belotero soft (patient reviews are 90% positive) contains only 2 components - sodium hyaluronate and phosphate buffer. The uniqueness of the filler lies in its special production technology. Hyaluronic acid is presented in the form of a cross-linked network polymer that retains water. This starts the process of renewal of the inner layer of skin under the epidermis.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the inner layer of skin. It is designed to maintain water balance. A sufficient degree of skin hydration helps keep it healthy and tight. The phosphate buffer in the filler is necessary to maintain the desired pH level. With age, the synthesis of hyaluronic acid slows down.

The skin becomes dehydrated and dry, wrinkles appear.

The production of an important skin component is also affected by:

1. UV rays.
2. Poor nutrition (not eating enough vegetables, too much sugar, salt).
3. Drinking insufficient amounts of clean water.
4. Lack of vitamin Diomega-3.
5. Infectious diseases.
6. Smoking and alcohol.

To achieve the necessary skin hydration when the synthesis of the substance is low, preparations with hyaluronic acid are actively used. Belotero Soft (patient reviews can be read below) has a lower concentration of the active substance compared to higher-level Belotero fillers - only 20 mg/ml, so small changes are intended.
