What Is Belotero Balance?

Belotero Balance is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler that integrates seamlessly into the skin. Its soft, cohesive formulation allows for smooth correction of etched-in lines and fine wrinkles, especially in thin or mobile facial areas. Because it binds to water, Belotero hydrates while filling, restoring softness and texture. Belotero Balance is commonly used for addressing the following:

  • Fine vertical lip lines (smoker’s lines)
  • Delicate lines around the eyes and mouth
  • Forehead creases and glabellar lines
  • Superficial etched lines on the cheeks
  • Smoothing mild nasolabial folds
