There is a cosmetic procedure that can be used to increase the volume and correct the contour of the lips, and also remove small wrinkles around the mouth. This technique is called contour plastic surgery, and it consists of injecting a special drug, in this case Belotero Soft, intradermally, no deeper than the middle layer of the dermis, to a depth of 1.5-3 mm. They also successfully smooth out wrinkles in the most delicate places with the thinnest skin.
Composition and purpose of Belotero Soft
Belotero Soft is a gel solution that can be used for all skin types. The drug contains cross-linked sodium hyaluronate, which is obtained by bioenzyme. The concentration of hyaluronic acid in Belotero Soft does not exceed 20 mg/ml of the drug. This gel is used in any delicate areas with thin skin, primarily the lip area. It belongs to the so-called fillers or implants, and is characterized by a minimum concentration of the active substance - hyaluronic acid, which is enough to smooth out not too deep folds and fine wrinkles. Experts call it a monophasic gel based on stabilized hyaluronic acid with a poly-densified structure.
This implant is produced by the Swiss company Antheis, Geneva. In general, the Merz corporation under the Belotero brand produces several similar drugs, but Belotero Soft is intended specifically for contouring surface plastic surgery, which allows women to keep their faces always young and beautiful. In many cosmetology clinics around the world, it is actively used in contouring to correct the oval of the face using tissue filling. This implant works great around the eyes, in the eyebrow folds, and in the corners of the mouth. To treat these problem areas, 1 ml of the drug is enough, the result is excellent.
Using Belotero Soft under the eyes
In addition to lip correction, Belotero Soft, as the most liquid of the fillers in the corresponding line, is used to correct wrinkles in the corners of the eyes. This drug around the eyes is injected into the deep layer of the skin, in contrast to the area of the cheeks, chin and forehead, where injections are made into the superficial layer of the skin. As a result, the so-called “crow’s feet”, and the introduction of this gel under the eyes gets rid of bags under the eyelids, making them much less noticeable. A characteristic feature of the procedure is that wrinkles are smoothed out right before your eyes, and rehabilitation after the procedure takes a few hours, sometimes several days. For some, prolonged resorption of the ridges after injections is possible, while for others they practically do not form and the rehabilitation period is minimal.
What cosmetologists say
The fashion for non-surgical methods of skin correction is largely due to the position of cosmetologists who actively promote this particular method of rejuvenation. The method of introducing fillers (gel-like temporary implants) is especially revered by cosmetologists, which provides a stunning visual effect, the result of which is visible immediately, and the risk of complications is much less than with the introduction of permanent implants such as silicone.
Despite the high safety of the procedure, only experienced doctors in specialized, licensed clinics have the right to perform it. The master must be:
- With higher medical education.
- Dermatologist specialist.
- Must complete advanced training courses in cosmetology.
- Be trained in filling techniques.
Too much depends on the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of a specialist. Despite all the safety of modern drugs and the development of technology, the risk of complications still remains. When introducing fillers, especially thick ones, serious defects and general disorders may remain, such as:
- Blueness and lumpy skin.
- Blindness.
- Depression and insomnia.
- There have even been cases of hair loss in men (there is micropigmentation)
A light gel based on weakly concentrated hyaluronic acid practically does not give such complications, and therefore cosmetologists actively recommend it. In addition, its injections can be used simultaneously with more radical thick gels for deep injections. It is also possible to simultaneously carry out complex restoration and moisturizing of the skin in one procedure, which lasts no more than 45 minutes, along with preliminary local anesthesia. The injections themselves take only a few minutes.
Another advantage is that injections of the drug can be done in one dose in different areas of the face. Belotero Soft and other fillers based on biodegradable (i.e., drugs that dissolve within 1-1.5 years) are especially recommended, because they allow you to work on the face without affecting the facial muscles. As a result, facial expressions and facial expressions do not change at all. And this is another reason for the popularity of the technique among cosmetologists.
And the best part is that in place of the absorbed gel, sprouted fibrinous (scar) tissue may remain for life, which will secure the desired cosmetic effect for life. Although in most cases, the procedure must be repeated after 12-18 months. But in any case, it is safer than surgery. Such a side effect as the growth of fibrous tissue, according to the observations of cosmetologists, is observed more often when using the “linear injection” technique.
Patient reviews
The growing popularity of the Belotero Soft injection is also influenced by word of mouth. You can already see many positive responses from patients. Here are some of them:
After unsuccessful blepharoplasty, hollows formed under the eyes instead of bags. For the first time I took injections with this drug, so far the situation has been corrected, and then we will see.
I used Botox under my eyes, the effect was terrible. At the injection site, the wrinkles smoothed out, but moved close to the eyes, and you can’t inject there, i.e. it became even worse than it was. They advised to correct the situation using superficial injections of the drug. I'm happy with the result, but I will never use Botox under my eyes again.
They say that the result of any injection depends too much on the skill of the doctor. Therefore, I don’t dare undergo radical injections like Botox. On the advice of friends and a cosmetologist, I got pierced. The result is excellent.
I corrected the lip contour with thick filler. I didn’t like it because for a long time I felt some “strings” inside, although the injections were given deeply. After superficial correction with a more liquid gel, this effect was not observed.
What is blanching?
Blanching in cosmetology is a unique technique for filling small wrinkles with Belotero soft using injections. The procedure effectively eliminates facial wrinkles around the eyes, lips and nasolabial folds, on the forehead, neck and décolleté. When blanching, the drug is introduced into the smallest folds, filling them softly and naturally, while at the site of drug administration the surface layer of the skin becomes lighter (from the French “blanc” - white), then the drug effectively smoothes out the wrinkle. Blanching in cosmetology is carried out using a special “blanch technique”.
Belotero soft is a German drug that is the only filler for delicately filling superficial wrinkles, not deep ones. Thanks to this feature, blanching can be used in the most delicate areas - on the eyelids, where other fillers look unnatural, creating unnecessary contours and volumes. The main active substance in the drug is hyaluronic acid, which is present in the body of every person and is absolutely safe for the human body, without causing side effects or allergic reactions.
What is the result of blanching?
The result of using the drug is the filling and smoothing of superficial wrinkles caused by skin aging, decreased production of hyaluronic acid or facial changes. Today, blanching the face shows the best results in the fight against a network of fine wrinkles, without changing facial expressions, without injuring the skin. Therefore, this method is popular among famous people, movie and pop stars.
During the procedure (most often when blanching under the eyes), slight pain or unpleasant tingling occurs, but this is an absolutely tolerable pain that can be tolerated even without an anesthetic cream (it can be used at the client’s request). After the procedure, rehabilitation is required for 1-2 days, micro-scratches from the needle quickly heal, whitish traces of the drug disappear and you are ready to “go out into the world.”
What is the cost of the blanching procedure?
The cost of one procedure is 13,500 RUB, on average you need to undergo 3-5 procedures every 10-20 days. The timing depends on the condition of the epidermis and the desired result. The effect of the cosmetic blanching procedure lasts about a year; it can be repeated once a year. The main contraindications are chronic infections, bleeding disorders, cancer and autoimmune diseases, as well as periods of pregnancy and lactation.

Akimova Olga Radislavovna, cosmetologist: “The procedure blanching carried out only with the help of a drug Belotero Soft, which is the only filler for superficial rather than deep filling of wrinkles. This allows me to work on delicate areas such as the lower eyelid. I do not use any other fillers for this area because... they will create volumes that are unnatural for the eyelid. Unlike biorevitalization, which is carried out to moisturize the skin, blanching radically solves the problem of a fine network of wrinkles, penetrating into every fold, filling it absolutely naturally. When the drug is administered correctly, the surface of the skin noticeably brightens at the site of its injection, which provides an additional rejuvenation effect."

Belotero Soft are well integrated into the tissues of our body, without causing inflammation and rejection, the Tyndall effect (translucency of the gel. Due to its unique structure, the gel Belotero It loses volume significantly more slowly in the first months after injection compared to other gels. Therefore, after a procedure using Belotero, no overcorrection is required.
