Treatment conditions
As a newer cosmetic treatment, patients are still learning about what Belotero Balance is and what it can do for them. The first question many patients have is about the conditions that this injectable treatment can address. Just like any other dermal filler, it is designed to restore volume lost in the face and fill in wrinkles. Some specific conditions this filler treats include:
- Nasolabial folds
- Chin wrinkles
- Wrinkles around the mouth
- Vertical lip lines
At Bion Aesthetics and Med Spa, Annamarie Salyer FNP-C works with clients throughout Indianapolis, IN to achieve younger-looking skin through FDA-approved cosmetic injections. Annamarie is a board-certified nurse practitioner. She is highly qualified to recommend and administer cosmetic fillers to help clients achieve their personal cosmetic goals.
How does Belotero Balance work?
This is a dermal filler, which means treatment works by administering an injectable solution into the sub-dermal layers of skin. The key to dermal fillers is the special formulas.
The main active ingredient in this treatment is hyaluronic acid. It is fashioned into a gel that immediately binds with water in the skin to fill in fine lines and wrinkles.
The anti-aging importance of hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is a current buzzword in the cosmetics and beauty industry. It is featured in a variety of skincare products and cosmetic treatments. If you visit any beauty store or your local drug store, you will notice that hyaluronic acid is frequently featured in moisturizing gels and creams. The reason is that hyaluronic acid does more than ward off skin dryness – it’s also a key figure in the anti-aging battle.
Hyaluronic acid is found naturally within the skin, but just like collagen and elastin, the production of this acid slows as a response to aging. Hyaluronic acid plays a very important role in retaining moisture in the skin. It can hold several times its own weight in water, and has recently been associated with supporting the production of collagen.
In fact, the collagen production in your skin relies heavily on hyaluronic acid. In other words, youthful skin full of collagen should also be full of hyaluronic acid.
How is this treatment performed?
Dermal filler treatments are simple appointments that can be completed in about 30 minutes or less, making them the ideal “lunchtime” appointment. Your treatment will be performed by a certified aesthetician and will include the following general steps:
1. Cleanse and numb
Although you will be instructed to arrive at your appointment with a face clean of make-up, we will also sterilize your skin to clear it of any excess dirt and oil. You will have the option of using a topical numbing cream for your comfort during treatment. If you are interested in using a numbing cream, please let us know.
2. Injections
A small, thin needle will be filled with the hyaluronic acid filler, which will then be injected into your skin. It’s common for your treatment to involve multiple small injections placed at targeted areas on the face, particularly around the nose, mouth, and chin.
