Artefil
Artefill®
ArteFill® is the first permanent FDA-approved injectable filler. ArteFill® contains PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) microspheres and purified bovine collagen gel with an anesthetic. PMMA is one of the most widely used substances in medical implants with a proven safety record for over 60 years.
After an ArteFill® injection the microspheres that are suspended in the collagen become part of the patient's own tissue as the collagen is resorbed, filling in the wrinkle for enduring correction.
Benefits:
-
Unlike the other injectable fillers that are resorbed by the body during the months following each treatment, the microspheres in ArteFill® provide permanent support and results continue to improve over several months.
-
Depending on the depth of their wrinkles and the amount of Artefill used with each treatment, most people get the results they want with one or two treatments!
