How Long Does Belotero Last?

Thank you for your question.  The duration of any fillers will depend on where you place it and how much.  Areas that move frequently (e.g. lips) will have a much shorter duration than areas that don't move much (e.g. tear troughs).  A full correction treatment also has the appearance of lasting longer (full glass transitions to almost full glass) versus a partial correction treatment (half glass transitions to almost empty) in the same timeframe.  Having said all that, Belotero is one of the shorter acting fillers out there.  It can produce great results in the hands of an experienced injector.  I would recommend visiting a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist with a high volume injection practice who can discuss your options in more detail.

The good thing about fillers is they bring incremental results and they are not permanent. 
The bad thing about fillers is they bring incremental results and they are not permanent.
Most fillers last about 4-6 months, although it depends on the injection location, the technique, and skill of the injecting physician. I used the tile "Fillers vs. Fat" because if you are concerned about longevity, then fat may be a real consideration for you. A portion of the fat transfer is permanent. We also transfer stem cells and fibroblast, which help to rejuvenate the skin and more superficial tissues. The results are the same or even better with fat because you can transfer more volume. Something to consider. 
Hope this helps.
Best of luck,

HA fillers can last anywhere from 6-18 months based on the area treated, type of product used and each individual's metabolism.

Belotero can last up to 6 months. Every patient it
is different and factors to consider are metabolic rate, muscle movement, and site
of injection.They will all play a role in your overall results and longevity of the
product.

There are several factors that determine how long a filler will last. Belotero is a hyaluronic acid filler that is somewhat thinner than many of the other HA fillers, and this usually means that it won't last as long as some of those products. However, this quality also makes it a great option for use in very fine lines and wrinkles without creating a "lumpy" or irregular appearance. Other than the consistency of the product, another factor that contributes to the longevity of a filler is the area in which it is injected. Filler does not last as long in areas with a lot of movement, such as around the mouth, as it does in areas with less movement, such as in the tear trough area. In general, Belotero will typically last for up to 6 months when used in the lips and around the mouth, and up to 12 months when used in the tear troughs or forehead. In order to achieve the best results with Belotero or any filler, I recommend having all injections performed by a board-certified physician injector with expertise in facial aesthetics.
Best wishes,

Boletero half life depends on the location and amount injected, depth of injection and if there is a lot of movement in the area. It lasts approximately 6-12 months

Belotero is a newer hyaluronic acids; however, it's one of my favorites as it is currently the thinnest filler on the market (Restylane Silk, which will make its debut in 2015, maybe even thinner).  It works great in thin areas such as around the eyes and in lip lines.  Around the eyes, we're getting more than a year in many patients.  Around the lips, unfortunately, similar to the other hyaluronic acids, we are getting maybe 4 months.  

Belotero is a great little filler for fine lines and lips and lasts 4-6 months easily for roughly $550/syringe. Sincerely, David Hansen,MD

This product is thinner than the other HAs such as Juvederm and Restylane, so it tends to get metabolized much faster. It also depends on where it is injected. The product does not last as long in areas that have more movement such as the mouth area and lips.  This product is great for injection directly into fine lines without causing the lumpiness you would see with thicker HAs. It can also be injected into nasolabial folds, tear troughs, and even lips (although it is extremely short-lived in the lips, so I would stick to Juvederm or Restylane in the lips). It normally lasts anywhere from 3-6 months. 

Belotero will normally last between six to nine months.  However, the duration of this filler will be different across individuals. Some people will metabolize the filler faster than others. It will also depend on where the injection was placed.

Belotero will often last a shorter time in areas where there is a lot of movement.
