FDA update

FDA approval adds Belotero Intense (+) Lidocaine to the lip-augmentation lineup.

The FDA approved Belotero Intense (+) Lidocaine on July 9, 2026 for submucosal and/or subcutaneous implantation for lip augmentation in adults over 21. Approval confirms an authorized indication and labeling pathway, not that one filler is best for every lip shape, anatomy or risk profile.
