Artefill Uses
Artefill is a "permanent" filler, meaning it lasts longer than the temporary 6-12 month fillers. It seems to last about 5-7 years. It is a great option for nasolabial folds and cheekbones, and not ideal for the lip. Unfortunately there is no antidote like hyaluronidase to inject into it if you're not happy with it. It is also a great way to fill in acne scars that are depressed.

Artefill - where is it used
Aretfill is FDA approved for use in the nasolabial folds. This is where I most commonly use it. However, it can be used off label to fill in other areas like the marionette lines etc. The only area I would definitely not use it is the lips. Overall it's a great product and lasts significantly longer than most fillers.

Artefill Uses in the Face and Body
Artefill is currently being studied for use in other facial and non-facial areas besides the nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Many of us who use it like to inject the nose with it for the "lunch time nose job" and the jawline to hide the jowls.
