Belotero Intense Lidocaine 1x 1,0 ml

The gel carries 25 mg/ml non-animal HA stabilised with CPM technology, a single-phase network that mixes dense and airy zones for both lift and flex. Its elastic modulus sits around 450 Pa—strong enough to prop up folds, supple enough for smiles. Lidocaine at 0.3 % eases the pinch without changing pH or swelling (water uptake stays below 10 %). Quality checks show BDDE under 2 ppm and endotoxin under 0.5 EU/ml. Particles average 250 µm, gliding through a 27 G needle, then gripping tissue so the contour stays put. After 50 000 lab shear cycles, more than 90 % of the cohesion remains—one reason cheeks and chins hold their shape for over a year. sample

Ideal for grade 3–4 folds, mid-face flattening, early jowls, or a recessed chin. A typical plan: 0.5 ml supraperiosteal bolus at the cheek apex, 0.3 ml deep-dermal threads per fold, and a 0.2 ml chin tip boost. The gel moves better than very stiff jawline fillers yet lifts more than softer balance gels. Standard cautions apply—pregnancy, infection, autoimmune flare, or lidocaine allergy. Many injectors finish with a lighter CPM gel on top for a seamless blend. s

• One sterile 1 ml glass syringe filled under nitrogen
• Two EO-sterilised 27 G × 13 mm thin-wall needles (Luer-Lock)
• Two peel-off lot and expiry stickers for patient and clinic files
• Multilingual IFU covering 2–25 °C storage, injection planes, aspiration tips, and 10 IU per 0.1 ml hyaluronidase rescue

Everything is latex-free, ISO-tested, and has a 24-month shelf life unopened.

Lift is instant, fine-tunes by day 7, and holds roughly 80 % at nine months and 60 % at fifteen. Cheek and chin sites last longer than mouth corners because they move less. Smokers and sun lovers often top up at eight months; low-metabolism clients may stretch results to eighteen. A modest collagen bump (about 0.2 mm extra dermal thickness at month 3) helps firmness linger even after the gel fades. Standard hyaluronidase melts everything in minutes if needed.

Q1: Will my cheeks feel hard?
A1: No. The CPM matrix supports yet flexes, so your smile stays natural.

Q2: Is one syringe enough for both smile lines?
A2: Moderate folds usually need 0.5 ml each. Deeper creases or added chin work may call for a second syringe.

Q3: How soon can I exercise or wear makeup?
A3: Light makeup after six hours is fine. Wait 24 hours for intense workouts, sauna, or steam to keep swelling low.
