What is Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are medical compounds used to plump up the skin. The doctor often injects them into the skin to smooth out facial depression, wrinkles and scars. Some may use dermal fillers to enhance a specific part of their face, such as the chin, cheek, nose and forehead.

It is an ideal dermal filler for to treat necklines and fine wrinkles around the mouth. Belotero soft is also good at treatment wrinkles around the eyes and forehead such as crows feet wrinkle treatment.
Belotero Balance
Belotero Balance is my favourite filler product. It contains 22.5mg/ml of CPM cross-linked Hyaluronic acid. It is great for filling up moderate nasolabial fold, glabellar lines, moderate peri-oral wrinkles and lip contouring. The biggest advantage of Belotero Balance is its excellent tissue integration. Once injected, the hyaluronic acid from Belotero Balance blends in well with the surrounding skin tissue resulting in a very natural result.

As its name suggests, Belotero Intense is the dermal filler with the highest G’ (Elasticity) within the Belotero range of filler. This feature makes it perfect for chin and nose augmentation. I use this particular filler to provide contour to the face. Being a CPM filler, Belotero Intense also can integrate into the surrounding tissue to give a natural result.

Belotero Volume is a great volumising filler. It is a very versatile filler to give volume. I often use Belotero Volume filler for areas such as the forehead, temples, cheeks and sometimes the nasolabial fold.
