BELOTERO® BALANCE with Lidocaine

BELOTERO® BALANCE with Lidocaine is a monophasic hyaluronic acid dermal filler designed to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds and infraorbital hollows. It combines 22.5 mg/mL of cross-linked sodium hyaluronate with 3 mg/mL of lidocaine hydrochloride to enhance patient comfort during injection. Utilizing Cohesive Polydensified Matrix (CPM®) technology, it ensures smooth integration into the skin, providing natural-looking results with minimal risk of lumps or unevenness.

Results are typically visible immediately after treatment and can last between 6 to 9 months, depending on individual factors such as skin type, age, and lifestyle.

BELOTERO® BALANCE with Lidocaine should be administered by licensed healthcare professionals trained in facial anatomy and injection techniques.
