The way Artefill works is the cow collagen gets absorbed and then the human collagen forms. So you should not get a 2nd treatment for at least 2 months.

Artefill in the nose is an off label use and should be done very carefully by a very experienced injector. Don’t get too much in the nose too quickly.

Two months between Artefill treatments

Some of the initial correction patients see is simply from swelling from the injection itself. This usually resolves over a few days. Then there is a period where the bovine collagen is being resorbed but the patient's own collagen has not yet fully replaced it.
