BELOTERO® Soft with Lidocaine contains 20.0 mg/ml of cross-linked hyaluronic acid, which is derived from Streptococcus equi and is biocompatible with the skin. The product’s viscoelastic properties allow it to integrate smoothly into the tissue, creating a natural look while providing subtle volume to the treated areas. The lidocaine hydrochloride (0.3%) helps minimize discomfort during the injection process. This filler is specifically designed for more delicate areas of the face where a softer effect is desired.

Ingredients:

• Hyaluronic acid (20.0 mg/ml) – a hydrating agent that naturally occurs in the body and provides volume and elasticity.
• Lidocaine hydrochloride (0.3%) – a local anesthetic for pain relief during the injection.
• Phosphate buffer – to maintain the pH and stability of the solution.

Packaging:

• 1 ml pre-filled glass syringes.
• Each syringe is sterile and single-use, containing sufficient product for a single treatment session.
• Includes two sterile needles for easy and safe application.
• Each box contains one syringe, along with necessary documentation and traceability labels.

BELOTERO® Soft with Lidocaine should be administered by a trained healthcare professional. The injection should be made into the superficial to mid-dermis for optimal results. To minimize risk, practitioners should follow proper techniques and inject the product slowly.

Method of Use:

1. Preparation: Cleanse and disinfect the treatment area thoroughly.
2. Injection: Inject the filler using a fine needle or cannula, depending on the treatment area and desired result. Use techniques like linear threading or serial puncture to ensure smooth and even distribution.
3. Massage: Gently massage the treated area to ensure uniform distribution of the filler.
4. Post-Treatment: Apply a cold compress to minimize swelling and bruising. Patients should avoid makeup for at least 12 hours post-treatment.
5. Aftercare: Avoid sun exposure, intensive exercise, or pressing on the treated area for at least 24-48 hours.

Patients should follow routine touch-ups every 6-12 months for maintenance, depending on the treatment area and desired effects.
