Belotero is one of the lightest dermal fillers available. Sometimes called the “starter filler,” it is ideal for someone who wants to reduce fine lines around the lips, corners of the mouth, and minor marionette lines (the lines from the corners of your mouth down toward your jawline).

Belotero is different than other fillers because it is designed to integrate into your skin and mold to your distinct facial contours. The outcome is smooth, natural, and uniquely you.

Once injected, Belotero instantly plumps the skin and smooths lines and wrinkles around the face. Patients can see the results almost immediately after the injection. The procedure typically lasts for six months before results start to diminish.

JUVÉDERM is made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that keeps it hydrated. As we age, our skin begins to lose its concentration of hyaluronic acid, which contributes to formation of wrinkles and folds.

Dr. Peterson injects the gel into problems areas using a fine needle. JUVÉDERM has a smooth consistency, and flows easily into the skin during the injection process. This results in a smooth, natural look and feel not possible with other hyaluronic acid fillers that are made with a granular consistency.

If you are looking to add volume to your cheek area, we also offer JUVÉDERM VOLUMA services. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC is the first FDA-approved injectable gel to instantly add volume to your cheek area to correct age-related volume loss.
