Belotero
Belotero is a recent addition to the line of hyaluronic acid gels like Restylane and Juvederm. It is very similar to those gels with one exception.
Its molecular structure gives it a unique ability to be injected superficially in the skin without giving a blue discoloration to the skin called ‘Tyndall Effect’ or ‘Tyndall Sign’.
This is usually seen with Restylane or Juvederm if it is injected in superficial skin. Belotero is manufactured by Merz Pharmaceuticals.
