Germany’s Merz introduces two Belotero Lips dermal filler products

Germany-based medical aesthetics company Merz has introduced Belotero Lips, a new line of products designed for lip enhancement and treatment of perioral lines.

The line features two hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler products, Belotero Lips Shape and Contour.

To be administered by a physician or qualified healthcare professional, Belotero Lips Shape is designed to improve the upper and lower lip, whereas Belotero Lips Contour is intended to define the lip outline.

London Aesthetic Medicine cosmetic doctor and founder Dr Uliana Gout said: “Full, well-defined lips are a key signature of youth and beauty. That is why in my practice, I often see patients looking to enhance their smile and to address the signs of ageing in this crucial area of the face.

“Belotero Lips is positioned for good tissue integration, delivery of high patient satisfaction and natural-looking results for all ages. Due to the extra versatility offered by the Belotero Lips concept, with products specifically designed for both shaping and contouring, this allows for a tailored lip treatment for our patients.”

Both the products were clinically assessed for lip augmentation in a multicentre study, which saw the participation of 146 patients.

Following lip treatment with Belotero, the most common side effects observed in patients were mild swelling, tenderness, bruising, pain and redness.
