BELOTERO BALANCE® in Los Gatos, CA

Your face may have been supple and smooth years ago because of natural resilience and an abundance of collagen and elastin stored in your body. As you get older, your skin loses elasticity and firmness as these natural nutrients begin to deplete, which causes noticeable symptoms of aging such as facial lines and wrinkles. At Sereno Santé in Los Gatos, CA, Dr. Maia Chakerian offers several aesthetic and medical dermatology treatments, such as BELOTERO BALANCE® dermal filler. BELOTERO is approved by the FDA to repair fine to deep lines and wrinkles around the face, including persistent, deep-seated lines as well as the nasolabial folds near your mouth. A fantastic nonsurgical alternative, BELOTERO is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler that helps you receive a rejuvenated, natural appearance.

Patients considering anti-aging BELOTERO BALANCE injections in San Jose, CA can expect to enjoy a number of exciting results. Some of the primary benefits of BELOTERO injections include:

• Smooths out lines and wrinkles across the face
• Can be used even on deep-set linkes and wrinkles
• Helps to restore lost volume in the face
• Restores a more youthful, supple, fresh appearance overall
• Does not require a topical anesthetic in most cases
• Results are visible immediately after treatment
• No downtime
• Can last up to 6-12 months

BELOTERO injections are beneficial if you hope to improve the look of moderate to severe facial lines, wrinkles, and folds without opting for a surgical procedure. BELOTERO is especially great for addressing lines around the mouth, such as the nasolabial folds. Prior to the procedure, Dr. Chakerian will meet with you during a consultation to review your current medications, known allergies, and medical history to determine if you are an ideal candidate for BELOTERO.

At the end of your consultation, you will be taken to our procedure room to receive your BELOTERO treatment. BELOTERO is injected with a very small needle, so many patients do not require a numbing cream or local anesthesia, but it can be requested during your consultation for greater comfort. The injection sites will be cleaned and prepared before the treatment is injected in several quick applications. Dr. Chakerian will apply pressure after each injection for a few minutes to control any minor bleeding, but then you are free to leave and resume your normal activities.

Following your BELOTERO injections at Sereno Santé, you might have some mild swelling, redness, or bruising near the injection sites —  these symptoms will fade in the coming days. You will notice some immediate results after your treatment that will continue developing in the weeks following the procedure. The results of BELOTERO typically last around six months, so speak with Dr. Chakerian about how touch-ups and repeat treatments can help you maintain lasting results.
