This results in more successful aesthetic results.

What is Belotero Lips Contour made of?

The main component of Belotero Lips Contour is hyaluronic acid, formulated to a concentration of 22.5 mg/ml. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of dermal tissue, present in vast quantities in the interstitial space between skin cells. It is a safe and effective compound for augmenting dermal tissue. Additionally, the hyaluronic acid in Belotero Lips Contour is not sourced from animals, further increasing the tolerability of treatment.
