Bellast® Plus is a dermal filler used to fill fine wrinkles and folds, giving a nice and natural facial structure, contour, and facial glow.

Bellast® Plus is indicated for use on the nose and chin. It is injected into the mid to deep dermis layer of the skin for moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. It’s also good for defining face features like the nasal bridge, chin, and cheekbones.

Bellast® Plus is created from a pyrogen-free, sterile gel of cross-linked hyaluronic acid that is not derived from animals. They are biocompatible with the human body and naturally disintegrate over time. They can be used to reduce facial wrinkles and creases while still maintaining skin elasticity.

For injection technique, you can choose to use a cannula to avoid multiple sites of injections and bruising. It also minimizes soft tissue damage and is comfortable for the patient.

However, many practitioners opt to inject even without the cannula. However, it is important that you change the needle after every 3 pricks to avoid discomfort and painful injection with a blunt tip.
