For those with volume loss in the cheeks and midface, Belotero Volume (+) offers natural-looking results, and for those wanting a plumper pout, Belotero Intense (+) was developed with facial dynamics in mind, so you get a volume boost and natural movement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Both formulas use Merz\u2019s Cohesive Polydensified Matrix (CPM) technology, a manufacturing process that creates a gel with both high- and low-density zones. It\u2019s biomimetic in its design, integrating into tissue and mimicking its natural behavior, rather than sitting on top of it. The goal, of course, is to allow for full facial expression without that taut, overfilled look.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-segment\">\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">For Belotero Volume (+), Merz cites 95 percent patient satisfaction through 18 months post-treatment, and for Belotero Intense (+), Merz reports 100 percent patient satisfaction at eight weeks, with results lasting through 12 months. As with any filler, outcomes vary by patient, and any treatment decision should be made with a qualified injector who can help choose the best product for you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers have become the backbone of modern injectables, largely because they\u2019re designed to move with your face and not against it. HA is a sugar molecule that our bodies produce naturally\u2014it\u2019s found in our skin, joints and connective tissue\u2014where its job is to attract and hold water, up to 1,000 times its own weight. So, it makes sense that this molecule would be chosen for fillers. And when it\u2019s injected into the face, it works the same way, restoring lost volume and plumping up lines and wrinkles. It\u2019s also reversible, which makes it a lower-commitment entry point for the injectable novice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, the hyaluronic acid filler family is expanding:  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3004,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3003"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3003"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3003\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3004"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3003"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3003"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3003"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
