Frequently Asked Questions about Belotero
Belotero is versatile and can treat various areas of the face, including:
- Fine lines around the eyes (crow's feet)
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)

The duration of Belotero results varies depending on factors such as the treated area, the individual's metabolism, and the amount of product used. Generally, results can last between 6 to 12 months. Over time, the hyaluronic acid in Belotero gradually breaks down and is naturally absorbed by the body.
One of the advantages of Belotero is minimal downtime. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment. Some temporary side effects may occur, such as redness, swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort at the injection sites, but these typically resolve within a few days.
Belotero injections are typically well-tolerated by patients. The filler contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, which helps minimize discomfort during the procedure. Additionally, Dr. Kian Eftekhari uses fine needles to administer the injections, further reducing any potential discomfort. Patients may experience a mild stinging or pressure sensation during the procedure, but it is generally well-tolerated.
The number of Belotero sessions required depends on the individual's aesthetic goals, the severity of the concerns being addressed, and the natural aging process. While some patients may achieve their desired results with a single session, others may benefit from multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal correction and enhancement.
