The Belotero Balance Syringe<\/h3>\n![\"belotero-syringe\"](\"https:\/\/surgerytoday.com\/education\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/belotero-syringe-225x300.jpg\")
<\/a>This is much smaller and much more ergonoic than their Radiesse syringe also made by Merz.<\/p><\/div>\n
There was no cracking or splitting of the syringe which I’ve sometimes seen when I attach the Juvederm to my 3 way valve. \u00a0I could probably get a better connector; however, the three way valve is something that is handy in my office because I use it \u00a0for vein sclerotherapy in it’s foamed version.<\/p>\n
The syringe itself is smaller than the the Juvederm syringe; thus it made it somewhat easier to inject initially where the thumb doesn’t have to stretch out as far. \u00a0It’s a small advantage for those with small hands – such as me. \u00a0I think this was done on purpose – to make the syringe shorter.<\/p>\n
There were, however, some parts of the syringe that snap off – perhaps this is on purpose. \u00a0The luer lock itself came off when I first connected it to the 3 way valve. \u00a0The flanges for the syringe itself also slides off, and when playing with the syringe after injecting the product, the rubber tip of the plunger can also become dislodged. \u00a0 Regardless, these are very minor issues – which mostly arise because I like to fiddle with the syringe itself.<\/p>\n
Initial Conclusions on Belotero in my Modesto practice<\/h3>\n
On injection, it feels smooth, and can be easily molded after injection into the skin. \u00a0I used one syringe on tear trough and the other syringe on the accordion type lines around the side of the skin. \u00a0I used a superficial approach to these lines – in attempt to use less product. \u00a0It seems to work well.<\/p>\n
It is on the opposite spectrum of their other product – Radiesse<\/strong> – which is a harder substance. \u00a0Belotero is very soft and pliable but lacks the intense hardness and lift capacity of Radiesse.<\/p>\nI believe that Belotero has a place in the palette of “paintbrushes” we use in our cosmetic injection craft. \u00a0But I think that more than one syringe is necessary to fill out fine line wrinkles in faces.<\/p>\n
