Hi, I received 2 opinions from 2 cosmetics surgeons. One suggested a Juvederm filler together with a bleaching and some laser sessions before going for Arterfill. One suggested 6 sessions of Dermapen. I'm out in the sun a lot and worried if one of the procedures would prohibit me from being in the sun. I'd also like to know the possibility of granulomas from the Arterfill; and of disfiguring and permanent bruises or darkening from the aggressive use of Dermapen. Thank you very much, HNg

Although Juvederm and all hyaluronic acid fillers don't stimulate collagen production, studies have shown that the expansion of the extracellular matrix (the scaffold that supports the cells responsible for collagen production) optimises the environment and function of fibroblasts.
