BELOTERO BALANCE® Balance® in Houston, TX

The natural aging process and genetics are the major causes of facial volume loss for both men and women. However, certain medications, weight loss, stress, and other lifestyle factors may contribute to exacerbated facial volume loss at different rates. Your skin may have been supple and fresh when you were young because of natural resilience and an abundance of collagen and elastin stored in your skin. Aging causes your skin to lose elasticity and firmness as these natural nutrients become depleted, and this leads to visible signs of aging (volume loss, lines, and wrinkles). Advanced Dermatology offers many cosmetic and medical dermatology services, including Belotero Balance injectable wrinkle filler. Belotero Balance injections are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to help improve the appearance of moderate to severe lines and wrinkles throughout the face, including stubborn, etched lines and the nasolabial folds around the mouth. A nonsurgical solution, Belotero Balance is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler that delivers a refreshed and natural look. We can create a treatment plan to meet your aesthetic goals and give you that youthful appearance once again.

A customized BELOTERO BALANCE treatment at Advanced Dermatology can create results that get noticed with benefits that include:

• Reducing moderate to severe lines and wrinkles
• Restoring lost facial volume
• Promoting natural collagen production
• Creating results that are natural-looking and long-lasting
• FDA-approved
• Results are almost immediate
• No downtime

Belotero Balance treatments are wonderful if you want to improve moderate to severe facial lines, wrinkles, and folds without the time and expense of cosmetic surgery. Belotero Balance is especially great for lines around the lips and mouth, like the nasolabial folds. Before your treatment, your practitioner will perform a consultation to go over your medical history, current medications, and known allergies to determine if you are a good candidate for Belotero Balance.

While every person ages differently, many patients begin to notice signs of facial volume loss starting in their late 20s. In your youth, fat in the face is evenly distributed with pockets that plump up the forehead, temples, cheeks, and areas around the eyes and mouth. As you age, the natural supports of the skin begin to break down and fat pads may shift downward. This process accelerates as you age (and fluctuate in weight), and it can be influenced by a number of environmental or behavioral factors.

After your consultation, you will be taken to our procedure room to receive your Belotero Balance treatment. Belotero Balance is injected with a fine-gauge needle so most patients do not need a numbing cream, but it can be requested for greater comfort. The injection sites will be identified and prepared before the treatment is administered in several quick applications. Your injector will apply pressure after each injection for a few minutes to stop any minor bleeding, but then you are free to leave and resume your normal activities.

After your Belotero Balance treatment at Advanced Dermatology, you may have some mild swelling, redness, or bruising near the injection sites — this will fade naturally. You will see some results right after your treatment that will continue to develop over the next two weeks. The results of Belotero Balance usually last about six months so talk to your injector about when to schedule your next appointment to enhance or maintain your results. This depends on your age, as well as the level of correction needed.

How much do Belotero Balance treatments cost?
Your cost for Belotero Balance will vary depending on your skin condition and how much is needed to achieve desired results. In your initial consult, your injector will create your personalized treatment plan that best matches your needs and wants. Then, we will be able to give you an estimated cost for your treatment, which will include any current specials we have.

What is the difference between wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers?
A wrinkle relaxer, like BOTOX®, addresses fine lines and wrinkles (mostly on the brow and in the corners of the eyes) by reducing the movement of the underlying muscles. Fillers like Belotero Balance restore volume to the face in order to fill in lines, wrinkles, and depressions. Dermal fillers can also be used to add more volume to your cheeks and face. Belotero Balance also works to help your skin produce new collagen for a refreshed, more youthful look.

How long will the results last?
The results of Belotero Balance typically last about six months. Follow-up treatments can be performed at our practice in order to sustain your improvements.

What areas of my face can be treated with a dermal filler like Belotero Balance?
Injectable fillers can improve signs of aging by adding volume or smoothing static lines. Fillers can be injected into mild to moderate parentheses, marionette, as well as corner lines around your mouth and nose. They can also temporarily add volume to your cheeks.

Is BELOTERO BALANCE safe?
Yes. BELOTERO is an FDA-approved wrinkle treatment that has undergone thorough tests to confirm its efficacy and reliability. It has been in use on the cosmetic market for years and is popular among both male and female patients. It is a particularly good option for those who desire to diminish nasolabial folds or laugh lines.

How many injections will I need?
The number of injections needed to attain the best results will vary from one person to another. Generally, BELOTERO outcomes will become evident quickly and often persist as long as 6 – 12 months. On average, the majority of patients come to our facility 2 – 3 times a year to get further injections.
