How Long Does Belotero Last?
On average, Belotero filler results can last from 6 to 18 months, depending on the area being treated, the product used, and individual factors like metabolism and skin health.
| Treatment Area | Average Duration |
| Lips | Last for six to 9 months |
| Nasolabial folds (around your mouth) | 9–12 months |
| Under-eye area | 12–18 months |
| Vertical lip lines | 6–9 months |
| Cheeks and jawline (Belotero Volume) | 12–18 months |
Areas with frequent movement, like around the nose and mouth, may metabolize filler faster. Less active zones, such as under the eyes, retain the injectable longer.
A 2021 Dermatologic Surgery study found most participants maintained visible correction 9-12 months after a single Belotero session. At Express Med Spa, clients typically schedule maintenance every 6-12 months to keep results smooth and balanced.
Results may vary. All treatments are performed by licensed medical professionals.
What Is Belotero and How Does It Work?
Belotero® is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler. It binds water within the skin to maintain hydration, elasticity, and smoothness. Over time, the skin’s natural HA supply declines, leading to volume loss and lines.
Belotero’s advanced Cohesive Polydensified Matrix (CPM) technology allows even distribution within the skin, creating a soft, natural finish without puffiness or stiffness.
Where Belotero Works Best
At Express Med Spa, Belotero injections are commonly used to:
- Smooth nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Reduce vertical lip lines
- Restore under-eye volume
- Improve crow’s-feet and fine wrinkles
- Enhance cheek and chin contours
Each treatment uses a fine-gauge needle and gentle injection technique for precision and comfort.
What to Expect After Belotero
Results appear immediately, with continued improvement over the first week as the filler integrates naturally. Minor redness or swelling may occur for 24-48 hours.
