ArteFill®
Discover an innovation in safe, enduring, wrinkle correction!

With ArteFill . . .
Finally, there’s a simple, in-office procedure that answers the demand for immediate, enduring wrinkle correction. ArteFill is the first and only FDA-approved non-resorbable, permanent, injectable wrinkle filler for the correction of facial wrinkles known as smile lines.

Why ArteFill?
Facial wrinkles are a result of the natural aging process. Over time, the skin loses its ability to repair itself as the underlying elastin and collagen fibers break down and lose elasticity. Heredity, UV exposure, and repetitive facial movement can all contribute to the development of facial wrinkles and folds.

Studies have shown that ArteFill is a highly differentiated and unique product, one which is both safe as well as an effective treatment for patients. ArteFill gives patients who seek long-lasting wrinkle corrections a new option.

Patients benefit with:

  • Immediate, visible results with no downtime
  • A simple, in-office procedure
  • Excellent safety profile
  • Results improve over the course of several months and stand the test of time
  • Usually requires only 1 or 2 treatments
  • Personalized ArteFill Progressive Enhancement™ (gradual wrinkle correction) helps ensure the look you desire

FAQs

What is ArteFill?
ArteFill is the first and only FDA-approved non-resorbable injectable filler for the correction of wrinkles known as smile lines. It contains 20% tiny round and smooth particles (PMMA microspheres) and 80% purified bovine collagen gel with 0.3% lidocaine, an anesthetic.

How does ArteFill work?
ArteFill is a dual-acting injectable wrinkle filler. First, ArteFill visibly corrects the wrinkle. Then the microspheres provide the permanent support your skin needs for long-lasting wrinkle correction.

How is ArteFill injected?
ArteFill is injected underneath the wrinkle, just above the skin’s fat layer. ArteFill provides the soft, supportive foundation that your skin needs for long-lasting wrinkle correction.

How is ArteFill different from temporary dermal fillers?
Temporary fillers are eventually are absorbed by your body. That’s why they require repeat injections. ArteFill is different. The unique microspheres in ArteFill are not absorbed by the body. These microspheres provide the permanent support your skin needs for long-lasting wrinkle correction. With ArteFill you can get the lasting wrinkle correction you want in just 1 or 2 treatments. Where the results of temporary fillers end, the long-lasting benefits of ArteFill continue.

For those who are more comfortable with the idea of a less permanent choice or wish to have filler products for the lip or finer lines, the alternatives include Juvederm – a hyaluronic acid gel which is an ideal product for plumping the lips; Radiesse for nasolabial folds (longevity around 18 months) and for injectable augmentation of the cheeks or chin; Restylane for a variety of wrinkle and line correction; and Cosmoderm for fine lines around the mouth and lips.
