Belotero in Alexandria VA
Belotero is a versatile dermal filler that smooths fine lines, restores lost volume and enhances facial contours , all with soft, natural-looking results. At AboutFace in Alexandria we offer Belotero as part of our advanced injectable filler treatments to help you achieve smoother skin and defined features with minimal downtime.
If you’re concerned about subtle facial wrinkles, volume loss or skin texture changes, Belotero could be the non-surgical solution for you to look and feel your best.
What Is Belotero?
Belotero is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler that integrates into the skin’s surface to treat fine lines and deeper folds. It’s part of a category of injectable fillers that work by replenishing volume and moisture in the skin to smooth out wrinkles and enhance natural facial contours.
Unlike many dermal fillers, Belotero has the ability to adapt within the skin for delicate, targeted corrections. This is due to its special manufacturing process called Cohesive Polydensified Matrix (CPM) technology that allows for flexibility and precision.
What Belotero Can Help With
- Fine lines around the mouth, nose and eyes
- Moderate to severe nasolabial folds
- Volume loss in the cheeks or under the eyes
- Thin lips or lip contour enhancement
- Acne scars and uneven skin texture
- Facial expressions without stiffness or bulkiness
The Belotero family includes several formulations, Belotero Balance and Belotero Volume, each for different depths and treatment goals.
Comparison to Other Treatments
Not all dermal fillers are created equal. While many injectable fillers use hyaluronic acid to restore volume and smooth wrinkles, Belotero has some unique advantages, especially for treating finer lines and delicate areas.
Here’s how Belotero compares to other popular injectable treatments:
| Feature | Belotero | Juvederm | Restylane | Sculptra (Collagen Stimulator) |
| Key Ingredient | Hyaluronic acid (CPM technology) | Hyaluronic acid | Hyaluronic acid | Poly-L-lactic acid |
| Best For | Fine lines, superficial wrinkles | Volume, lips, folds | Folds, cheeks, lips | Gradual volume loss |
| Texture | Very soft and smooth | Moderate thickness | Varies by product | Not a filler (stimulates collagen) |
| Results Seen | Immediate | Immediate | Immediate | Gradual (weeks/months) |
| Duration | 6–12 months | 6–18 months | 6–12 months | Up to 2 years |
| Areas Commonly Treated | Under eyes, lips, fine lines | Lips, cheeks, folds | Cheeks, lips, folds | Cheeks, temples, jawline |
| Natural Integration with Skin | Excellent | Moderate | Moderate | N/A |
Belotero’s unique ability to blend seamlessly into the skin’s surface makes it ideal for shallow areas where other fillers might create bumps or look unnatural. It's an excellent choice if you’re looking for subtle, precise enhancements without adding unnecessary bulk.
Results, Duration & Aftercare
One of the biggest benefits of Belotero is its immediate results that continue to improve as the swelling subsides. Since it integrates into the upper layers of the skin it delivers subtle yet effective changes in volume and skin texture.

How Long Results Last

Aftercare Tips
- Avoid intense sun exposure, alcohol or exercise for 24-48 hours after your treatment
- Don’t touch or massage the treated area for the first day
- Apply cold compresses to reduce mild swelling or bruising
- Sleep with your head elevated to minimize fluid retention
