Artefill usage
Artefill is a long term filler that lasts likely in the 5-7 year range. I typically will use it in the laugh lines/nasolabial folds and for the cheek bones (malar region). It is a good deep filler, and typically I would not advise using it for finer lines such as the areas around the lips, in the lips, or the frown lines.

Artefill for frown lines
I have had excellent results using Artefill for frown lines. Additionally, I reviewed photographs for the 5 year results from Artefill and all results were long lasting and natural. I would say that using ArteFill or Juvederm in this area would be improved by using Botox as well to inhibit the muscle activity that causes the "eleven" lines

Where can Artefill be placed?
Artefill is a long lasting dermal filler that has been shown to persist for 5 years. The filler acts to both volumize by itself as well as stimulate new collagen production.

Frown lines are usually too narrow for artefill.

Artefill is not best choice for frown lines
If you are referring to the frown lines between the eyebrows, then my answer is no - Botox is a better choice although it is not permanent, like Artefill. If the lines still persist after Botox, then a hyaluronic filler, such as Restylane or Juvederm is my preference.
Artefill is a deep filler and better suited for the deeper folds around between the lips and cheeks, the so-called nasolabial or meilolabial folds.
