Artefill

Artefill®

Artefill®is a dual-acting wrinkle filler. Once it’s injected into the deep portion of the skin under the wrinkle, the collagen in Artefill®visibly corrects the wrinkle. Over time the collagen is absorbed by the body but the microspheres remain intact providing the support your skin needs for long-lasting, natural feeling wrinkle correction.

This safe, in-office procedure takes a just a few minutes to administer. You will receive an anesthetic to lessen the pain from the procedure and with proper placement you won’t feel a thing and can return to your normal daily activities. The results are immediate and will improve over time.

Artefill®is the first and only microsphere-enhanced collagen filler for the correction of nasolabial folds, or the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth.

A skin test is needed as a safety precaution to ensure that you are not allergic to the collagen or anesthetic in Artefill®.

  • have a positive reaction to the Artefill®skin test
  • have a history of severe allergies and hypersensitivity (anaphylaxis)
  • are allergic to the anesthetic (lidocaine) in Artefill®
  • have a history of allergies to any collagen products
  • are prone to thick scarring (hypertrophic) formation and/or excessive scarring (keloid)
