List of products by brand BELOTERO – MERZ PHARMACEUTICALS

Belotero® Range (Merz Aesthetics) from the Laboratory: Merz Pharmaceuticals

 Dermal fillers based on hyaluronic acid. Key technology: CPM (Cohesive Polydensified Matrix)

1. General Description

Belotero® is a complete range of dermal fillers based on absorbable hyaluronic acid. Designed to provide natural-looking results, it treats wrinkles, restores facial volume, and rehydrates the skin. The range's unique feature lies in its ability to integrate seamlessly with skin tissue, thus respecting natural facial expressions.

2. Exclusive Technology: CPM (Cohesive Polydensified Matrix)

Unlike conventional biphasic hyaluronic acids, CPM technology creates a monophasic gel with multiple densities (high and low density zones within the same gel).

Advantage: This technology gives the product excellent cohesiveness, allowing for optimal integration ("seamless integration") into the dermis without any visible "bump" or irregularity, even in the mobile areas of the face.

3. Product Range Details

Each product in the range has a specific rheology (elasticity, plasticity, cohesiveness) adapted to the injection depth and the intended indication.

A. For Skin Quality and Hydration

Belotero® Revive: A skin-boostering product combining hyaluronic acid and glycerol. It improves skin hydration, elasticity, and firmness while treating fine lines and redness.

• Comfort: Most products are available with lidocaine (anesthetic) to minimize discomfort during injection.
• Safety: Established safety profile; hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin.
• Duration: The effects are immediate and long-lasting (generally 6 to 18 months depending on the product and the area treated), but are fully resorbable.
