‘Natural-Looking, Lasting Results’ – Here’s Everything You Need to Know About BELOTERO®

This month, facialist Sherna Malone tried and tested BELOTERO®. She tells us about her experience …

What motivated you to book an appointment with Dr Clodagh O’Shea?

As a skin health specialist and facialist, I know all too well the changes you can experience in your skin during perimenopause and menopause. When I looked in the mirror, I was starting to notice volume loss in my face and was becoming more aware of my nasolabial folds and marionette lines. I went to see Dr Clodagh because I knew she was an experienced aesthetics practitioner. During my consultation, she spoke to me about hyaluronic acid fillers and why she thought BELOTERO® would be a good fit for me.

Was this the first time you’ve tried BELOTERO®?

Yes. I hadn’t tried BELOTERO® before, but when Dr Clodagh explained her reasons for using it, I was happy to go ahead. Being a facialist, I was already aware of the benefits of HA and how it was a natural component of our skin. She explained that BELOTERO® could help replace the lost volume I was worried about, smooth out the lines that were bothering me and give my face some refinement and lift.

I liked the fact it is specifically designed to give natural-looking, lasting results and that it can also be tailored to you and your concerns.

Also, the fact that the treatment is quick, and you can usually continue with your daily activities once finished really appealed to me.

Can you talk us through the consultation process? What did you hope to achieve?

The consultation was extremely thorough. Dr Clodagh outlined precisely what areas she was going to treat and the effect this would have. The most important thing for me was that I really felt that Dr Clodagh listened to what my concerns were and what I was looking to achieve – a natural, fresher and more rejuvenated version of myself. Everything was explained clearly and concisely, so I understood what the treatment would involve along with what the recommended aftercare was.

And the procedure itself? How did it feel having it done? Was it painful?

I had the BELOTERO® Lip rejuvenation treatment which includes two different types of filler. BELOTERO® Shape was used to add volume to the body of the lip and BELOTERO® Contour was used to smooth the fine lines around the mouth. I also had BELOTERO® Volume in the cheek area as well. I was very comfortable throughout the treatment. Dr Clodagh kept me informed at all times as to what was happening and what I would feel. A little numbing cream was applied for the lip area, which was great as it eased any discomfort, and I know it can be a particularly sensitive spot. No numbing was required on the rest of my face.

How did you feel and look immediately afterwards? Did you see results straight away or later?

I saw the results straight away. When Dr Clodagh showed me the mirror, I said, “Wow!” The treatment had instantly filled the skin and smoothed out the wrinkles. I felt like I looked ten years younger. I could see my cheekbones again. I wasn’t as drawn looking, and the bar code lines above my lips had softened. My lips themselves had a lovely natural looking volume to them. Over the next few days, my results continued to improve. My skin felt hydrated, and I had a lovely radiant appearance.

How did the treatment make you feel?

In a word – fantastic. I was so delighted that it looked just like me but fresher, and I received lovely compliments on how I looked too.

How did it compare to other treatments you have tried?

As soon as the treatment is finished, you can see immediate results, which is always a lovely bonus. There’s very much the “feel good factor” leaving Dr Clodagh.

How long did Dr Clodagh tell you your results will last?

The results of BELOTERO® can last up to 12 months which is fantastic. Dr Clodagh told me that how long mine lasts will depend on multiple factors such as the area I have had treated, my skin condition, lifestyle, and age.

BELOTERO® is available in leading aesthetic clinics around Ireland.

Please consult a qualified authorised medical practitioner who will advise the most appropriate treatment for you. Individual results may vary.
