Description
Belotero Soft with Lidocaine Dermal Filler 1x1ml for Superficial Line Correction
Belotero Soft with Lidocaine is a resorbable hyaluronic acid–based dermal filler formulated for the correction of superficial fine lines and delicate skin depressions. It is composed of non-animal, cross-linked hyaluronic acid combined with lidocaine hydrochloride for enhanced patient comfort during injection. The filler is manufactured using Cohesive Polydensified Matrix (CPM®) technology, which enables uniform integration within the superficial dermal layers while maintaining skin flexibility and smoothness.
The product is indicated for the treatment of fine facial wrinkles where subtle correction and even tissue distribution are required. Its rheological properties are specifically designed to minimise the risk of visibility or palpability when placed superficially. Belotero Soft with Lidocaine is biodegradable and gradually resorbed through physiological metabolic processes. It is intended exclusively for professional aesthetic use by trained medical practitioners under aseptic conditions.
What Belotero Soft with Lidocaine Is Similar To
Belotero Soft with Lidocaine can be compared to other soft, low-density hyaluronic acid dermal fillers intended for superficial dermal correction, such as Belotero Balance® or Juvederm® Volbella. All are designed to address fine lines and delicate wrinkles rather than provide deep volumisation or structural contouring.
Belotero Balance® uses the same CPM® technology but is generally positioned for slightly deeper dermal placement and moderate wrinkles. Juvederm® Volbella, formulated with Vycross® technology, is commonly used for fine perioral lines and lip refinement, offering different gel cohesivity and persistence characteristics. Compared with these products, Belotero Soft is specifically tailored for very superficial indications, prioritising smooth integration and natural skin appearance.

FAQ
1. How does Belotero Soft with Lidocaine work in the skin?
Belotero Soft with Lidocaine works by integrating evenly into the superficial dermal layer using CPM® technology. The hyaluronic acid binds water to support skin hydration and smooth the appearance of fine lines, while lidocaine helps reduce discomfort during injection.
2. Is Belotero Soft with Lidocaine the same as a volumising filler?
No. Belotero Soft is not designed for volumisation or contouring. It is specifically formulated for superficial fine lines where subtle correction and smooth tissue integration are required, rather than projection or structural lift.
3. How long do the effects of Belotero Soft with Lidocaine last?
The manufacturer does not specify an exact duration of effect. Longevity may vary depending on patient factors, skin condition, injection depth, and metabolic activity.
4. Can Belotero Soft with Lidocaine be used in deep facial areas?
No. According to its indication, Belotero Soft is intended for superficial dermal use only. Deeper wrinkles or volume loss may require alternative fillers with different rheological properties.
5. What safety considerations should practitioners keep in mind?
Practitioners should follow strict aseptic technique, have detailed anatomical knowledge, and assess patient suitability carefully. As with all dermal fillers, adverse reactions may occur, and patients should be informed of potential risks and post-treatment care requirements.
