What is BELOTERO BALANCE®?
BELOTERO is a lightweight, hyaluronic acid (HA)-based filler approved by Health Canada. BELOTERO’s gel-based formulation allows it to blend seamlessly into the contours of your face for incredibly natural-looking smoothness and movement.
What does BELOTERO BALANCE® treat?
Our dermatologists use BELOTERO to effectively treat lip lines and thinning lips, “parentheses” or smile lines around the mouth, nasolabial folds, and hollow undereye circles or troughs underneath the eyes.
How does BELOTERO BALANCE® work?
Our skilled dermatologists inject BELOTERO as part of a simple in-office procedure. The HA molecules in BELOTERO bind to water and create soft, supple volume where the product is injected, restoring moisture deep underneath the skin’s surface. During your initial consultation, we’ll explore expected results and outcome. Your injection session is relatively brief and comfortable thanks to our team’s meticulous approach. Results are visible soon after treatment and continue to appear for up to 6 months following treatment.
Why Choose Derma Skin Institute for BELOTERO BALANCE®?

At our clinic, you will always be assessed by a board-certified dermatologist and injectable expert. We pride ourselves on creating personalized and customized treatments. That includes combining BELOTERO BALANCE® with other aesthetic procedures like BOTOX® Cosmetic, as part of Dr. Sajic’s unique 5 Dimensions Skin Plan™ to consider the future of the whole face instead of “quick fix” approaches that miss the way your features affect each other.

FAQs
How long do BELOTERO BALANCE® results last?
Results with BELOTERO BALANCE® can last up to a year. The lasting time of your results depends on the volume of fillers used, the size of the targeted area, and your unique facial anatomy. As your movements change with time, your treatment plan and dosing may also need to change. Your face is uniquely yours and your treatment plan should be too!
Does BELOTERO BALANCE® hurt?
Most patients tolerate filler injections quite well. We use numbing cream as well as a local anaesthetic to help keep you comfortable. Additionally, an anaesthetic is pre-mixed with most fillers. If needed, we may also medicate you with prescription-strength pain medicine. We also have Penthrox® as an option—an effective, fast-acting, non-opioid inhaled analgesic product that helps greatly with pain and anxiety.
Will it be obvious that I’ve had BELOTERO BALANCE®?
Dr. Sajic’s mantra is: “If it looks done—it’s been done wrong.” In the same way that you notice when people have overdone dermal filler results, you likely know many people who have had injectable treatments; but the best results are a well kept secret between the injector and the patient. The patients who have chosen a skilled, experienced injector know that subtle results are key. Dr. Sajic practices the 5-Dimension Skin Plan™, an innovative, science-based approach that considers the whole face instead of “quick fix” approaches that miss the way your features affect each other. This allows us to treat the whole face to maximize symmetry, subtle results, and a balanced outcome for a fresh, more youthful appearance.
What is BELOTERO BALANCE® recovery like?
We will give you post-treatment instructions on how to best care for your skin after the procedure. Generally, this is well tolerated though there may be bruising or swelling following treatment that should subside within a week. We also offer medical laser treatments at our Guelph and Burlington clinic that can significantly decrease bruising. Avoid massaging your face and generally avoid heavy exercise for the first 48 hours after treatment to maximize beautiful results and reduce any inflammation.

Can I combine BELOTERO BALANCE® with other treatments?
Yes! Using different injectable treatments in intentional, artful combinations is one element of Dr. Sajic’s 5 Dimension Skin Plan™ — you can learn more about that here. We may customize a treatment plan that targets multiple concerns in one treatment regimen or procedure. We often combine different types of dermal fillers with other procedures (such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, lasers, radiofrequency, and other energy-based treatments) to produce the most natural-looking results. Our goal is to strengthen the skin’s natural ability to heal, adapt, and stay healthy over time. We want to work with you to achieve the best version of you. A rested, glowing, vibrant you!
Is there downtime needed after BELOTERO BALANCE® treatment?
No, non-invasive injectable dermal fillers don’t require booking time off and can be easily scheduled as part of a normal day. You may notice some minor bruising following treatment which can be gently camouflaged with tinted sunscreen .
