How Is Belotero Balance® Different From Other Fillers?

Dermal fillers give you a powerful way to seize your appearance goals. With these cosmetic injectables, you can defy aging by replenishing volume where your face loses it through the years. You can also use it to address aesthetic concerns, like undereye hollows and wrinkles. 

That said, not all fillers are created equal. So, today, we want to introduce you to one of the specific options we offer at our offices on Manhattan’s Upper East Side in New York City and in Madison, Connecticut: Belotero Balance®. Norman J. Pastorek, MD, Janice Pastorek, and our team have chosen to provide this filler because it has some notable differentiating factors. 

Here are a few reasons you might want to consider Belotero Balance over other options. 

1. Belotero is designed for more natural results

Merz Aesthetics®, the pharmaceutical company that makes Belotero Balance, specifically formulated this filler to integrate evenly with your skin tissue. This helps your skin stay expressive, and it minimizes the likelihood that areas will look overfilled or fake. 

Because it’s a lower-density formula than other hyaluronic acid fillers, it’s also a great option for filling in finer lines and wrinkles. If you’re looking for precise, natural-looking results, consider Belotero Balance. 

2. Belotero has multiple uses

Janice Pastorek and our team use this cosmetic injectable to address a wide range of aesthetic concerns. It’s effective for:

• Vertical lip lines
• Under-eye hollows
• Deep nasolabial folds
• Corner lip lifts
• Marionette lines

In other words, you have the option to split a syringe of Belotero Balance to make an impact in multiple areas of your face. Talk with our team about the outcome you’d like to achieve, and we can tailor a treatment plan for you. 

3. There’s less discomfort with Belotero

Belotero Balance requires a shallower injection than other fillers like Juvéderm®. Instead, Janice Pastorek places the injection in the upper levels of your skin, helping to prevent discomfort. She also uses a very fine needle to further minimize pain. 

Plus, the Belotero Balance formula specifically includes lidocaine, a local anesthetic. 

All told, you shouldn’t experience much discomfort at all during treatment. 

The same is true afterward. Belotero Balance has fewer side effects than other hyaluronic acid fillers. You might notice some redness, tenderness, or bruising, but you won’t have to worry about lumps, bumps, or odd firmness in the treated area. And any side effects you do experience should fade in seven days, at the most, which is less than half the time of other fillers. 

Clearly, Belotero Balance offers some notable advantages. That said, it’s far from the only option we offer. Let our team personalize a treatment program for your unique face and your specific cosmetic goals. To get started, call either of our offices or book your appointment online today.
