Is Artefill a Good Filler Substitute for Nasolabial and Marionette Lines?

I'm a 45 yr old female. I have had Radiesse, Restylane, and Juvederm Ultra Plus over the last two years with only slight improvement, lasting approx 2-3 months. Would Artefill be a better choice for me since I can't afford the amount of filler I obviously need on a regular two month basis.

Thanks,
Carol

If you only achieved slight improvement in the past and were returning for treatments every two months, you were probably not receiving enough product when you had your treatments; either that or the products were... more
