Safety Information

The BELOTERO range of Hyaluronic Acid fillers are injectable resorbable implants indicated to increase the volume of skin tissue for the correction of facial depressions, or remodeling the contours of the face. After injection, patients may experience redness, bruising, swelling or other local side effects. Most side effects of treatment resolve within a few days. As with any injection there may be risk of infection. Be sure to inform your Healthcare Provider of any known allergies, esp. to sodium hyaluronate and lidocaine hydrochloride (for Lidocaine versions) or to amide-type local anesthetics before treatment.
