Belotero Facial Filler
Belotero is an injectable dermal filler used to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles caused by the aging process. Belotero is one of several injectables and fillers offered at Dr. Khosh’s Manhattan practice and is considered one of the safer options because the active ingredient — hyaluronic acid — is a naturally occurring component of the skin. FDA-approved for reducing lines and wrinkles, Belotero works by attracting water to the areas where it is injected, plumping the skin and diminishing the appearance of fine lines. Most patients see immediate results, with more noticeable refinement over the next few days following the injection. Belotero is used on areas of the face prone to fine lines and wrinkles, including around the eyes, lips, and forehead.
Dr. Maurice Khosh’s approach to Belotero is shaped by both surgical anatomy expertise and a depth of experience across the full range of injectable fillers. Dual board-certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, Dr. Khosh is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS) and a Clinical Assistant Professor at Columbia University. He has authored book chapters with Thieme Publishers, Oxford University Press, and McGraw Hill on facial plastic surgery topics — work that informs the precision he brings to every injectable treatment. Recognized as a perennial Castle Connolly Top Doctor and a Best Doctors in America honoree, Dr. Khosh evaluates each patient individually to determine which filler — among Belotero, Juvéderm, Restylane, Radiesse, Sculptra, and others — will produce the best result for the specific area being treated.
Why Belotero May Be the Right Filler
Belotero is one of several hyaluronic acid fillers available, but it has specific properties that make it especially well-suited to certain treatment areas. Compared to thicker HA fillers, Belotero is formulated with a softer, more cohesive gel that integrates smoothly with the upper layers of the skin — making it an excellent choice for very fine lines, vertical lip lines, and superficial areas where heavier fillers can produce visible lumps or a bluish discoloration known as the Tyndall effect. Belotero typically lasts six months to one year, and like all hyaluronic acid fillers, it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if the result needs to be adjusted — a meaningful safety advantage that distinguishes HA fillers from other categories of injectable products.
“Belotero is one of the lightest hyaluronic acid fillers available, which is exactly why it fits some patients better than the heavier products. For superficial fine lines around the lips and eyes, the cohesive integration matters more than the lifting capacity. Choosing the right filler for the right depth is what produces a natural result.” — Dr. Maurice Khosh
Dr. Khosh offers Belotero injections at his Manhattan office, along with several other types of injectable cosmetics. During a private consultation, he can discuss the benefits of using Beletero injections to smooth lines and wrinkles in your skin and other options to improve your appearance. Often patients will benefit from using a filler along with a neuro-modulator like Botox or Dysport to have a more dramatic impact on reducing the signs of aging.
