What's the main difference between Belotero and other fillers? I know it's thinner. (Photo)

Thank you for sharing your question. There are many products which doctors inject into the tear troughs. I find that Restylane in the best for several reasons. It does not give a blue hue to the skin like Juvederm can cause. It gives a great fill for those patients who require a little or a lot of volume replacement. It also lasts much longer than Belotero. Restylane Silk is a thinner product which can be used as a second layer on top of Restylane. Make sure you have an experienced doctor familiar with all the products evaluate your problems and perform your treatments. Good luck,

You answered the question, the filler is much thinner so it works great under the eyes and even for superficial lines around the lips. other fillers can have potential complications such as lumps and 'tindel' effect which is not seen with belotero

belotero is the only filler that integrates evenly with the upper layers of the skin and that is why it can be used for fine lines.  I suggest seeing an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I have personally been using Belotero Balance and writing about its use for several years for treating under eye dark circles, tear troughs and sacs, as well as for fine "bar code" lines around the mouth, crow's feet and even for fine lines in the decolletage region, The specific viscoelastic properties of this filler and the nature of its cohesivity make this filler an excellent choice for the above purposes. Unlike more conventional fillers, such as Juvederm, Belotero molds easily into place, does not overly attract water (hence less swelling) and possesses little to no tendency to give rise to the unwanted, bluish Tyndall Effect when injected superficially into the delicate tissues around the eyes and chest. For all the above reasons it is my first choice for treating the above regions in my Upper East Side Manhattan practice. (In my Israel satellite facility, where a far greater number of regulatory agency approved fillers and volumizers are available, I typically opt for Teosyal Redensity II for these indiciations.So glad you had a great result.

Belotero is mentioned quite a bit on this forum. I answer questions frequently regarding it. It is a very good filler when used as it is intended. It looks like you had a good result from it.

Belotero is a newer (but not new) filler and so it is not as well known as some of the other fillers on the market such as Juvederm and Restylane. However, it is a great filler. Safe and effective. It is particularly good for fine lines and intradermal injection. I prefer either Belotero or Restylane for tear trough injections. Juvederm tends to retain water causing a lot of swelling when injected around the eyes. I wouldn't be worried about your Belotero injections. Your eyes look great!

Good question! Think of it like a car with dents / imperfections. Fillers such as Radiesse and Juvederm can help fix some of the "dents" or more obvious imperfections. Belotero is like getting the car waxed and shined up. Almost like an airbrush treatment in photos - its meant to smooth out areas that just need a touch. Lines around the eyes are a perfect area for this product. Good luck! 

Hello, and thanks for your question. It's a bit newer than some others, so not as many people know about it. It's a great product!Best of luck, Dr. Frucht.  

Belotero is one of my favorite fillers.  As you mentioned, it is thinner than some other fillers which makes it ideal for use under the delicate skin of eyelid.  However, regardless of how well formulated a product is, it is the skill and precision of the injector that matters most for a great result.  Best, Dr Jeanniton

Belotero is a great filler. It is thinner product as your doctor told you and I find it to be a great filler for the lips and under eyes. Care should be taken in the under eyes to prevent swelling. Dr H Karamanoukian
