BELOTERO® and JUVEDERM® are among the range of dermal filler options we frequently use at Novique. They are both hyaluronic acid-based fillers, but they work in different ways to address different concerns.
BELOTERO® has a lightweight, low-density formula that’s injected into more superficial layers of the skin. It’s often used for treating fine lines and delicate wrinkles.
JUVEDERM® has a smooth and thick texture. It is great for lifting, contouring, and filling areas with volume loss. This includes the cheeks and deep nasolabial folds.
So, how do you decide which filler is right for you? Let’s explore their main differences, benefits, and best uses in more detail in this blog. But first, let’s start with the basics.
What is BELOTERO®?
Injectors use BELOTERO® fillers specifically for precision work on fine lines and delicate areas of the face. Its lightweight formula blends easily into the skin. This makes it great for smoothing fine lines without adding extra weight.
Common treatment areas for BELOTERO® include:
- Fine lines around the lips (smoker’s lines)
- Crow’s feet
- Tear troughs (under-eye area)

BELOTERO® is often chosen by patients who want natural and subtle results. It does not change their facial shapes but refines and softens their look.

Belotero vs Juvederm Comparison
Use this guide to decide which HA filler is best for you.
Consistency and Texture
- BELOTERO® has a light, low-density formula that blends easily into the top layers of the skin. This makes it perfect for smoothing fine lines and delicate areas without adding bulk.
- JUVEDERM®, on the other hand, has a thicker and smoother consistency. It is made for deeper injections to lift and shape. This makes it great for areas needing more support.
Best Uses
- BELOTERO® works wonders for fine lines around the mouth, under-eye hollows, and smoker’s lines. Its precision makes it ideal for subtle enhancements in delicate areas.
- JUVEDERM® is better suited for adding volume to the cheeks, filling deeper wrinkles, and enhancing the lips. Most patients consider it for a dramatic lift and contour.
Injection Depth
- BELOTERO® is injected closer to the surface of the skin, making it perfect for addressing fine, superficial wrinkles.
- JUVEDERM® is made for deeper layers of skin. It gives substantial volume and lift to areas with more aging or volume loss.
Longevity
- BELOTERO® typically lasts 6–12 months, depending on the area treated and individual factors like metabolism and lifestyle.
- JUVEDERM® can last 9–24 months, depending on the specific formulation and the area of treatment. For example, JUVEDERM® Voluma, used for cheek augmentation, tends to last longer than other formulations.
Skin Concerns Addressed
- BELOTERO® is perfect for tackling fine lines, crepey skin, and subtle imperfections that require a delicate touch.
- JUVEDERM® is great for treating deeper wrinkles and folds. It also helps areas with a lot of volume loss, like the lips, cheeks, and nasolabial folds.
Treatment Areas
- BELOTERO® works very well in precise areas like under the eyes, around the lips, and for tear trough corrections. It’s also great for smoker’s lines and other fine wrinkles.
- JUVEDERM® is ideal for volumizing the cheeks, filling deep nasolabial folds, and contouring the lips or jawline.
Feel and Look Post-Treatment
- BELOTERO® results are soft and natural, blending seamlessly into the skin for a barely-there fee
- JUVEDERM® creates noticeable volume and structure, offering more defined and sculpted results.
Downtime
Both fillers require no downtime, but the depth of injection can influence post-treatment effects.
- With BELOTERO®, swelling and redness are usually mild because it’s injected closer to the surface.
- JUVEDERM® may cause slightly more swelling, especially when used for deeper injections or larger-volume treatments.
Cost
The cost of BELOTERO® and JUVEDERM® varies, depending on the treatment area, how much product you need, and your provider’s skill.
- BELOTERO® tends to be more affordable for small, precise treatments like fine lines and tear troughs since less product is typically required.
- JUVEDERM®, because of its thicker consistency and ability to address larger areas or provide significant volume, may cost more overall, especially for treatments requiring multiple syringes.
On average, you can expect:
- BELOTERO®: $500–$800 per syringe.
- JUVEDERM®: $600–$1,200 per syringe, depending on the specific formulation.
