Artefill ® Filler Procedure Enhance Youthful Looks

What is the Artefill ® Filler Difference ?

If you are looking for an injectable wrinkle filler that provides long lasting wrinkle correction, then you have finally found your answer in Artefill. Artefill’s microsphere-enhanced collagen support works to correct wrinkles for long lasting results. Temporary wrinkle fillers have always been know as just that, temporary. The body eventually absorbs them thus forcing patients to receive frequent repeat injections to maintain the results they love. Artefill fillers are different from temporary injectable wrinkle fillers because it is made up of microsheres, which the body does not absorb, creating the long lasting results that you have been searching for.

Artefill injections provide the support your skin needs for long lasting results that look and feel completely natural.  The results are economical and extremely convenient because it requires fewer injections, thus saving you time and money. Why struggle with the hassles of frequent repeat injections when the solution is clear? Artefill Filler.

Say goodbye to the injectable wrinkle fillers of the past and hello to the ease of Artefill.

Unlike other temporary injectable wrinkle fillers, which use natural or synthetic materials that break down over time only to be absorbed by your body, Artfill uses unique mirospheres that are not absorbed and actually work to help your skin produce collagen, which gives you long lasting and natural results. 

Artefill injections provide you with a long lasting solution that will only improve over several months and without a doubt stand the test of time. This safe, minimally invasive, treatment is done using a simple in-office procedure. You will not only notice immediate results but you can continue with your normal daily activity without any down time.

How do Artefill Injections help combat aging?

Gravity, sun and environmental damage, and volume loss are all factors affecting our appearance as we age. These factors all play a major role in the appearance of fine or deep lines in our face during the aging process.

There are two types of injectables that are available for diminishing the appearance of lines and wrinkles, neurotoxins and dermal fillers. Toxins reduce the appearance of wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that are contracting to form the wrinkle in that area. Overtime, the decreased contracting of the muscle reduces the appearance of the fine or deep lines.

Injectable wrinkle fillers on the other hand, are injected below the skin’s surface to help create smoother more supple looking skin. Dermal fillers are used to combat the signs of aging by delivering volume, which plumps up the skin, thus smoothing out the wrinkle or fold, and since they do not paralyze any muscles the results are always natural looking.

Why should I choose Artefill? Understanding Dermal Fillers

When creating dermal fillers there are several types of materials used such as collagen with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), calcium hydroxylapatite, hyaluronic acid (HA), and poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). With the exception of PMMA, over time all of these fillers will completely degrade and will be absorbed into your body.

PMMA microspheres do not degrade and are not absorbed. This allows for long lasting wrinkle correction. Artefill filler uses these microspheres to aid in collagen production thus creating the natural volume and smoothness of younger looking skin.

What should I expect with an Artefill Filler treatment?

The Artefill Injection treatment is a safe, in-office procedure that only takes a few minutes. Before receiving an Artefill treatment patients come in for a collagen skin test and are advised to make an appointment in four weeks for treatment. This is done to gauge sensitivity to the treatment. If no reaction to the skin test occurs after four weeks, treatment with Artefill may be administered that day. Many patients receive more than one treatment to reach the level of correction that they are looking for. A follow-up appointment is made four to six weeks later. At this visit you and your doctor will decide if you would like further treatments to enhance your results.

Along with Artefill’s collagen supporting microsheres it also contains an anesthetic to lessen any possible discomfort from the treatment. Many patients report that Artefill cannot be felt after treatment. Patients see immediate results in wrinkle correction and can return to normal daily activities immediately following the procedure.

Is an Artefill Injection safe?

Yes, Artefill Filler has been proven as a safe and effective dermal filler. The U.S. FDA approved it in October of 2006 after thorough clinical testing. Since its release in February of 2007, more than 25,000 patients have undergone treatment using Artefill. Patient satisfaction is high and most people are candidates for treatment. However anyone who has had a positive reaction to the Artefill skin test or has a history of severe allergies, hypersensitivity, or anaphylaxis, and those prone to thick scar formation are highly advised against receiving treatment.  Patients with skin outbreaks, including cysts, pimples, rashes, hives, or infection near the injection site are also advised to postpone treatment until they have cleared. Speak to your doctor about any and all concerns regarding treatment.

As with any injectable wrinkle filler, patients may experience mild swelling and redness at the injection site. Although these side effects are common among dermal fillers they are typically temporary. Rarely, mild bruising that generally disappears in three to seven days can also occur. Other, less common, side effects include rash and/or itching more than 48 hours following treatment; persistent swelling or redness, and increased sensitivity at some or all injection sites. Extremely rare but potential side effects of all dermal fillers also include lumps and granulomas, both of which can be treated by your physician.
