Answer: Belotero vs. Restylane in the tear troughs There have not been any head to head studies that I am aware of comparing the longevity of Belotero versus Restylane in the tear troughs. After hundreds of tear trough injections with both Restylane and Belotero over the last several years, I believe anecdotally that Belotero does not last as long as Restylane -- part of the reason for this is that Belotero does not come with lidocaine so many doctors will dilute the restylane with a small volume of lidocaine for increased comfort. Now that we are using microcannulas for tear trough injections (the only way one should ever have tear troughs injected), I have not been diluting Belotero anymore so this may lead to a longer lasting result.

Answer: Thicker Fillers Last Longer Hi Mona. You are correct that Belotero does not last as long as Restylane. I would say the different would be more like 6-9 months vs. 9-12 for Restylane, but it depends on the amount of product and how it is injected. For examples of other Los Angeles patients that have under eye correction with Restylane, click the link below.

Answer: Belotero Versus Restylane In essence they should last the same amount of time. I am finding that Belotero lasts a little shorter time period only because it fully integrates into the tissue and doesn't have lift capacity the other fillers do. It works to flatten out wrinkles very well especially superficial ones. Without photos it is hard to tell which filler is best for you. I suggest a formal consultation with a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon with experience using fillers. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Restylane and Belotero filler for under-eye hollows Restylane and Belotero are both hyaluronic acid fillers for improving the under-eye hollows. In the hands of an experienced physician who understands anatomy and aesthetic considerations, they both create a softening of the under-eye hollows, which so often are the cause of looking tired and aged. They have different characteristics, however. Restylane is more "structural" and provides good lifting when placed in the deepest area of the hollow. If it's placed too superficially, it can create a bluish appearance that isn't helpful.Belotero is a "softer" filler suitable for more superficial placement because it flows well under the thin skin of the under-eye area. It doesn't show as a bluish color under the thin skin.I use both fillers and take advantage of their differing characteristics to create the best look depending on each person's needs and goals. Restylane probably does have greater longevity, but that isn't the only reason for selecting a product. I will frequently "mix and match" the fillers to create the most harmonious appearance.Always seek a physician to do your treatments, and ask about his/her philosophy about why s/he is recommending a particular treatment option.

Answer: Belotero and Restylane for tear troughs - Buffalo Niagara, NY Belotero, Restylane and Juvederm are HA type facial fillers and as far as I know, there are no RCTs comparing one to the other in terms of duration of efficacy. What is known emperically is that areas where HA fillers are injected, such as tear troughsvthat are less prone to movement than corners of the mouth, lips, marionette lines, the HA fillers last longer in the same individuals. Of course, genetics as well as body metabolism and smoking play a significant role in how long HA fillers last in any particular individual.
