Description:
Belotero Volume is a sterile, pyrogen-free, and viscoelastic gel that is used for facial contouring and volumizing in adults. It is a bioresorbable and monophasic material that contains non-animal hyaluronic acid and is intended for injection into the deep dermis or subcutaneous layer. It is a medical device that is only for use by licensed healthcare professionals.
Mechanism of Action:
Belotero Volume works by restoring volume and fullness in the skin, which naturally depletes over time due to aging, UV exposure, and other environmental factors. The hyaluronic acid in Belotero Volume is a natural component of the skin that helps to maintain hydration and elasticity. When injected into the skin, it helps to fill out wrinkles, fine lines, and hollow areas, giving a youthful and natural look. The gel integrates into the dermis and promotes the production of collagen, elastin, and other extracellular matrix components, resulting in long-lasting results.
Dosage:
Belotero Volume is available in a prefilled 1ml syringe, and the dose will depend on the patient’s specific facial characteristics and needs. The injection is admittable through the needle using a linear, retrograde, or cross-hatching injection technique. The frequency of treatment depends on the individual patient’s response, but typically two to three treatments per year are recommended. It should not be injected into the areas where inflammation, infection, tumor, or trauma is present.
Instructions:
Belotero Volume should be administered only by licensed and trained healthcare professionals. Before injecting, the area should be cleaned and disinfected, and the product should be checked for integrity before use. The injection should be given slowly and carefully, using appropriate techniques, and the needle should be used.
Side Effects:
Belotero Volume may cause some side effects, such as:
– Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site
– Tenderness or discomfort
– Itching or rash
– Lumps or nodules
– Infection or allergic reactions
If any of these side effects persist or worsen or if any additional side effects occur, patients should report them to their healthcare provider immediately. In rare cases, severe side effects such as skin discoloration, scarring, or necrosis may occur. These complications usually result from injection into blood vessels or improperly disinfected equipment.
In conclusion, Belotero Volume is a hyaluronic acid-based, dermal filler used for facial contouring and volumizing in adults. It works by restoring volume and fullness in the skin and promoting collagen production. The dosage and frequency of treatment depend on the patient’s specific needs, and it should be administered by licensed and trained healthcare professionals. Patients should be aware of the possible side effects and should report any adverse reactions to their healthcare provider.
