What is Belotero Revive?

Belotero Revive (the green-box filler) is a product from the Swiss brand Belotero that is gaining popularity. It is the world’s first filler to combine Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerol, designed to restore skin that is in the early stages of damage caused by sunlight and environmental pollutants. It is widely used as a skin booster, focusing on revitalization and strengthening the skin both inside and out.

What Are the Properties of Belotero Revive Filler?

Belotero uses a proprietary production technology called CPM (Cohesive Polydensified Matrix), which results in an exceptionally smooth gel that blends seamlessly with the skin. The outcome is a naturally smooth appearance immediately after injection. Other key properties include:

1. Cohesivity – The gel’s ability to stick together, creating a smooth, even texture.
2. Elasticity – The gel’s flexibility, allowing it to return to its original form after pressure, helping to prevent it from migrating to undesired areas.
3. Plasticity – The gel’s moldability, enabling it to be sculpted and shaped precisely in targeted areas.

How is Belotero Revive Different from Other Fillers?

• Hyaluronic Acid provides deep hydration from within, plumps up the skin, smoothens texture, and improves elasticity.
• Glycerol is a naturally occurring chemical that functions as a lubricant and moisture absorber. It is widely used to hydrate the skin and helps retain moisture for a longer time. It also enhances the performance of Hyaluronic Acid, allowing the skin to retain water more effectively and for longer durations.

These two ingredients make Belotero Revive the softest filler with superior skin integration. It gives a natural appearance and provides the highest skin hydration compared to other skin-quality fillers. It is also the only filler that helps fill acne scars and tighten pores. When exposed to light, it reflects a glowy, dewy finish — often referred to as the “glass skin” effect.

Which Areas Are Suitable for Belotero Revive Injections?

The injection technique for Belotero Revive is ideal for the superficial skin layer or dermis, aiming to plump and hydrate the skin while enhancing its glow. Recommended areas for injection include:

• Facial skin – Helps plump the skin, smooth texture, blur pores, reduce small acne scars and fine lines
• Under-eye area – Adds moisture and hydration beneath the eyes
• Neck – Firms the skin and restores a youthful appearance
• Hands – Rehydrates dry, wrinkled hands, making them look soft and moisturized

Results of Belotero Revive Injections

The effects of Belotero Revive filler can be seen immediately after injection, with results becoming more noticeable over time:

• Skin Hydration – Increased moisture retention lasting up to 9 months
• Skin Glow – Brighter, more radiant complexion lasting up to 9 months
• Skin Elasticity – Improved skin flexibility lasting up to 7 months
• Skin Firmness – Firmer skin lasting up to 7 months

Pre-Injection Preparation for Belotero Revive

• Inform your doctor of any past facial injections or cosmetic surgeries.
• Disclose any drug allergies, regular medications, chronic illnesses, or pregnancy status before receiving the glass-skin filler REVIVE, to reduce the risk of complications.
• Avoid taking certain vitamins or supplements (such as Vitamin C) that affect blood circulation for at least 2 weeks before the injection, as they may increase the risk of bruising.
• If you plan to undergo facial treatments such as facial massage, laser, Ultraformer III, or fat-dissolving injections, you may do them on the same day, but they should be completed before the filler injection.

Post-Injection Care for Belotero Revive

• Within 4–6 hours, small needle marks or redness will gradually improve. If marks remain, concealer can be used to cover them.
• For the first 4–5 days, to minimize bruising:
  • Avoid alcohol
  • Avoid intense exercise
  • Avoid vitamins and supplements (as they may increase blood circulation, leading to prolonged swelling or bruising)
    Bruising may occur — this is normal and not harmful, and it will gradually improve within 7–14 days.
• Small bumps may appear at the injection sites — this is normal and harmless. These bumps will usually disappear within 5–7 days, as will any redness.
• Avoid wearing makeup for 24 hours after the injection to maintain hygiene and reduce infection risk. Cleanse the skin only with clean water, drinking water, or saline.
• Any bruising should improve within 7–14 days. You may apply anti-bruising cream to help fade the marks gradually.
• Regularly moisturize and apply sunscreen to care for your skin.
• For 14 days post-injection, avoid high-heat environments such as saunas, and refrain from undergoing heat-based treatments like laser, Ultraformer III, Thermage, or Ulthera.

How Many Sessions and How Much Belotero Revive (in cc) Are Needed to See Results?

To achieve optimal and long-lasting results, it is recommended to undergo 3 sessions (totaling 6 cc). This delivers the ultimate “Glass Skin” effect — visibly radiant skin, reduced pore size, and smoother acne scars — with results lasting up to 12 months.

Even a single session (1 cc per cheek) can produce noticeable glow and hydration, with results lasting around 9 months.

How Often Should Belotero Revive Be Injected, and How Long Do Results Last?

For the best and most visible skin-enhancing results, it is advised to inject once a month for 3 consecutive months. This deeply revitalizes and hydrates the skin from within, with outcomes lasting up to 12 months.

Summary

          Belotero Revive is an excellent option among skin-quality fillers. It combines Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and Glycerol, enhancing moisture, plumping the skin for a Glass Skin effect, strengthening the skin barrier, tightening pores, softening shallow acne scars, and reducing fine lines.
