The BELOTERO® Intense with Lidocaine gel is a sterile and transparent filler composed of cross-linked sodium hyaluronate (25.5 mg/ml). This highly viscoelastic formulation ensures smooth integration into the skin, creating a natural, smooth appearance.

It is packaged in a 1 ml pre-filled syringe, which is sterilized by moist heat and comes with two sterile needles for precision and safety.

Ingredients:

• Sodium hyaluronate (25.5 mg/ml): Hydrates the skin, restores volume, and improves elasticity.
• Lidocaine (3 mg/ml): A local anesthetic that reduces pain during the procedure.
• Phosphate buffer: To stabilize the pH of the gel, ensuring skin compatibility.

Packaging:

• 1 ml pre-filled glass syringe with two sterile needles.
• The syringe is single-use and sterile.
• CE-marked, ensuring compliance with European medical device standards.

BELOTERO® Intense with Lidocaine should be injected by a licensed healthcare professional with expertise in dermal filler injections. The injection should be carried out slowly to allow the gel to be distributed evenly.

Method of Use:

1. Prepare the treatment area: Cleanse the skin and disinfect the area to be treated.
2. Needle assembly: Attach the sterile needle provided to the pre-filled syringe.
3. Injection: Inject the gel slowly into the deep dermis, avoiding overcorrection.
4. Massage the treated area gently to ensure even distribution.
5. Post-treatment care: Advise the patient to avoid makeup for 12 hours, and refrain from saunas, hot tubs, and direct sun exposure for 2 weeks after treatment.
6. Follow-up: Schedule regular follow-up appointments to maintain the results, which typically last between 6-12 months.

It is essential for practitioners to avoid direct injection into blood vessels and use correct aseptic techniques to reduce the risk of infections or complications.
