Belotero Basic 1ml

Belotero® Basic (also known in some markets as Belotero Basic Gel) is a cross-linked hyaluronic acid dermal filler designed for correcting moderate facial wrinkles, restoring superficial volume loss, and improving facial contours. It is part of the Belotero range by Merz Aesthetics, known for its smooth integration into skin tissue and natural-looking results. It is intended only for administration by qualified healthcare professionals trained in injectable aesthetic procedures. Belotero Basic is formulated using cohesive polydensified matrix (CPM) technology, which creates a gel that spreads evenly within the dermis and integrates smoothly with surrounding tissues.

Mechanism of Action

Belotero Basic works by:

• Filling moderate dermal wrinkles and folds
• Restoring lost volume in superficial to mid-dermal layers
• Binding water to improve skin hydration
• Integrating uniformly into tissue due to CPM structure
• Producing smooth correction without harsh borders

This makes it particularly suitable for areas requiring natural-looking, even correction rather than strong projection.
