Belotero Revive is a skin booster injection that combines hyaluronic acid and glycerol. It works particularly well for dry, dehydrated skin and also tackles the early signs of sun damage.

A: Belotero filler is uniquely formulated to blend seamlessly with the skin, offering natural-looking results that are both versatile and effective. Unlike other dermal fillers, Belotero integrates seamlessly into facial tissues to restore volume loss, giving a more natural, smoother-looking result. This makes it particularly effective for treating fine lines, delicate areas such as under the eyes, and superficial wrinkles that require a more nuanced approach. At The Otto Clinic, we choose Belotero fillers to ensure our clients receive the most natural and rejuvenating results possible, maintaining the clinic’s commitment to non-invasive aesthetic skin treatments.

A: Belotero filler typically lasts between 6 to 12 months, depending on factors such as the area treated, your skin type, and your individual metabolism.

A: At The Otto Clinic, we prioritise your comfort and well-being, especially during treatments like Belotero. Our skilled clinicians use a fine needle to administer the Belotero filler, and we can also apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area beforehand to ensure the process is as painless as possible. Post-treatment, some patients may experience mild tenderness or swelling, but these effects typically subside within a few days. Our team is always available to provide guidance and support, should you have any concerns.

A: At The Otto Clinic, the duration of a treatment session can vary based on the specific procedure you are receiving. On average, most non-invasive aesthetic skin treatments take between 30 minutes to 1 hour. Our highly trained and professional staff ensures that each treatment is efficient, maximizing results while minimizing downtime. During your initial consultation, we will provide you with a tailored treatment plan, including a detailed timeline to give you a clear understanding of what to expect. Please remember to arrive a few minutes early for your appointment to allow for a smooth check-in process. If you have specific time constraints or questions, our team will be happy to accommodate and provide further information.

A: Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin known for its ability to retain moisture, leading to enhanced hydration and plumpness of the skin. At The Otto Clinic, we utilize hyaluronic acid in various non-invasive aesthetic treatments to rejuvenate your skin and address common skin concerns such as dryness, fine lines, and wrinkles. This powerful ingredient helps to boost hydration, improve skin elasticity, and create a healthier, more youthful appearance.

Glycerol is a naturally occurring substance within the body. It draws in water and retains it, helping to strengthen the HA structure and increasing its effectiveness within the skin. At The Otto Clinic, we use it in non-invasive treatments to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and smoothness. It combats dryness, flakiness, and fine lines, promoting radiant skin.

A: There are several medical conditions that may prevent you from undergoing Belotero treatments. These include active skin infections or inflammations in the treatment area, a known allergy to hyaluronic acid or any components of Belotero, certain autoimmune disorders, and blood clotting disorders. Additionally, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to avoid such treatments. During your consultation, your practitioner will discuss your medical history in detail to assess your suitability for Belotero.

A: Following a Belotero treatment at The Otto Clinic, it is important to adhere to specific aftercare guidelines to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential side effects. Here are the recommended steps:

1. Avoid Touching the Treated Area: Refrain from touching, pressing, or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours to avoid disturbing the filler placement.

2. Steer Clear of Intense Heat: For the first 24-48 hours post-treatment, avoid exposure to extreme heat such as saunas, hot tubs, or intense sunbathing. Heat can exacerbate swelling and prolong the recovery process.

3. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your body heal and to maintain skin hydration. This will contribute to the longevity of the Belotero results.

4. Avoid Exercise and Alcohol: Strenuous exercise and alcohol consumption should be avoided for at least 24 hours after treatment as these activities can increase blood flow and elevate the risk of bruising and swelling.

5. Use Gentle Skin Care Products: Stick to gentle skincare products that are free from harsh chemicals and fragrances. Avoid using any anti-aging products containing retinoids or alcohol for at least a week after the treatment.

6. Apply Ice Packs: To reduce swelling and redness, you can gently apply ice packs to the treated area, wrapped in a cloth, for short intervals.

7. Sleep Elevated: If possible, sleep with your head elevated on pillows for the first night to help alleviate any swelling.

8. Monitor for Unusual Symptoms: Keep an eye out for any unusual symptoms such as severe pain, changes in skin color, or palpable lumps. If you experience any of these, contact The Otto Clinic immediately for advice.

These aftercare steps are designed to support a smooth recovery process and enhance the overall results of your Belotero treatment. At The Otto Clinic, our goal is to ensure that you achieve the best possible outcome while prioritizing your safety and well-being.
