Artefill is a long-lasting injectable wrinkle filler used to immediately eliminate your smile lines (nasolabial folds) and fill in the lines between your nose and mouth. FDA approved, Artefill contains microsphere enhanced collagen that is non-absorbable by the body providing a long-lasting support system for wrinkle correction.

How Does Artefill Work?

Artefill contains microsphere enhanced, purified bovine collagen gel with Lidocaine for comfort. The microspheres remain at the injection site, providing a support long-lasting system for wrinkle correction. While the purified collagen is gradually absorbed by the body, the microspheres become a enduring part of your own tissue.

Artefill adds volume to the skin and gives the appearance of a smoother surface. Treatment usually lasts less than 30 minutes and results can be seen immediately. There is no downtime. You can smooth away your smile lines over your lunch hour!

To insure that you are not allergic to bovine collagen or Lidocaine in Artefill, you must undergo a skin test approximately four weeks prior to your Artefill treatment.

How is Artefill Different from other Dermal Fillers? 

There are numerous other temporary dermal fillers on the market – Juvederm, Radiesse, Restalyne – but with each of these products, the filler is eventually absorbed into your body and the wrinkle returns. As a result, you must return for repeat injections to maintain your wrinkle free appearance.

Artefill is different from temporary injectable wrinkle fillers. The unique microspheres in Artefill are not absorbed by the body and provide the support your skin needs for natural, long lasting results. 

How Many Artefill Treatments Will I Need?

It may require two-three treatments to obtain your desired results. Depending on the depth of your wrinkles and folds, your first treatment may be followed by a second or third treatment spaced 4-6 weeks apart to obtain maximum results. Most patients achieve their desired results within one – two treatments. Using a staged approach eliminates the possibility of overfilling the wrinkle.

What to Expect During My Artefill Treatment?

At Innovative Aesthetics, Dr. Jim Cain will inject Artefill into your smile lines or marionette lines to immediately fill in the wrinkles. Artefill contains the anesthetic Lidocaine to eliminate any pain from the injection process. You will see immediate results and be able to immediately return to your normal daily routine.
