I would like to get beletero filler for static horizontal forehead lines.....they are there etched into forehead so the lines are there when I am not raising eybrows....I do not want botox because I do not like the way it looks and I don't want to freeze my forehead....I am very expressive and I still want to be able to make expressions....my concern is am I going to still be able to make expressions without the filler moving around and lumping up or turning into bumps?
Answer: Can you use Belotero instead of Botox for static lines? Great question Leslie! The answer is YES! Botox works on kinetic (movement) lines. I often use Belotero (as well as other fillers or fat) for a patient who comes to me saying exactly what you said. For patients who have static forehead lines and they still want movement without the deep, etched in lines Belotero is a great solution. You will still be able to make expressions without the filler moving around without turning into lumps or bumps. Good luck! It's going to be great!

Answer: Will Belotero Move When I Make Facial Expressions? Belotero Allows Full Range of Expressions Botox, administered correctly, will not “freeze” your forehead. You should be able to make all natural expressions even when you’ve been treated with Botox. If you’d rather avoid neuromodulators, however, Belotero is an excellent choice for filling in forehead wrinkles. This hyaluronic-acid based filler has a nice, thin consistency that allows it to work on fine lines and wrinkles. Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist who is expert in creating facial rejuvenation with hyaluronic-acid based fillers will get you the best results.

Answer: Plastic Surgery Belotero Balance Chicago for Treatment of Forehead Lines Belotero is a great filler for the static and etched in lines on your forehead. Belotero will not become lumpy or bumpy with movement but you may want to use a small amount of neurotoxin which will allow the Belotero effects to last longer. I would also recommend a 1540 non-ablative fraxel treatment prior to the filler treatment. The 1540 non-ablative fraxel treatment heats up the tissue under the skin which causes coagulation in the epidermis and dermis. This sparks a natural healing process that creates healthy new tissue, including new collagen, resulting in a smoother and more even skin tone. The combination treatment of 1540 fraxel non-ablative laser, Belotero and a very small amount of neurotoxin is a great solution for forehead lines. Good Luck!

Answer: Will Belotero Move after Injection Hi and thank you for your question! First off and if I may, I wouldn't completely set aside Botox as it can still greatly help reducing the lines without affecting you natural expression. The key is to have it done at experienced hands and by a physician who is highly experienced in Botox treatment and well familiar with the anatomy of the face and its muscles. I do several hundreds of Botox injections every month and vast majority of my patients keep their natural expressions. Now regarding Belotero moving, unlike the popular belief that fillers may easily move following injection, it is actually quite difficult for fillers to move. Specially in the case of Belotero, it is a pretty loose filler and it distributes nicely under the skin, so I wouldn't worry much about it moving after the injection. I hope it helps and good luck!

Answer: Facial Wrinkles Lines Are Typically The Result Of Dynamic Muscular Motion & Static Creases The short answer to your question is that Belotero will not move or migrate with the motion of your forehead expression muscles, and it is an excellent choice in fact for superficial injection as would be needed here, since it possesses little to no tendency to engender the unwanted, bluish Tyndall Effect when injected high up in the skin.. A longer answer to your question would also address the two main elements in the formation of facial wrinkling of all kinds, including those of the horizontal, forehead "worry" lines. These are the dynamic component, i.e. the motion of the underlying facial expeession muscles, and the static component, i.e. the creasing or "etching" of the overlying skin that occurs after years of dynamic muscular movement below. With this in mind, it should be clear that while simply treating the static component with filler will improve the "etched-in" creases, it will only do so for a short period of time, since the repetitive motion of the underlying muscles will hasten the breakdown of the overlying injected filler. To treat the underlying motion, a neuromodulator, such as Botox, would be needed. Experienced injectors have stopped "freezing" muscles with Botox about fifteen years ago, since this simply "porcelainized" the face, but did not leave it looking natural. Instead, they simply reduce the activity of these muscles (which typically become overactive with aging) to a more youthful level. Doing so leaves the individual capable of emoting, not frozen. Finally, combining Botox and filler results in a synergistic effect whereby the overall result of the combination treatment lasts considerably longer than the results of either treatment alone. Make sure you seek treatment and consultation by a board certified aesthetic physician and ask to see his/her before and after photos before agreeing to proceed. Best of luck.
