“Made a Big Difference and Lasts”

Is the artefill still there? Or has it gone down? Thank you.

Nice! Thank you for the quick reply!

Dear Jane, A plastic surgeon who is a great friend of mine used to do a lot of Artefill (called Artecol back then) and was one of the national trial doctors. He is now retired and 8-9 years later his patients are coming out with granulomas and pseudo-infections from their injections. While temporary fillers need to be repeated more often than Artefill, the problems with this filler are very difficult to manage and can leave some permanent scarring. I would strongly suggest sticking with Radiesse, Restylane and Juvederm.

Artecoll is different from Artefill though. They changed a few ingredients and made the little beads smaller.

GinnyAZ-- I have used Artefill for over 3 years now with excellent results that I achieved over time. It does take time for the collagen to build up. I love the gradual change I have observed. My Dr injects the Artefill from inside my mouth way up in the cheek near the bone. She is a master and I you don't see any bruising from this technique which is a great benefit. I get many compliments that I just toss off to good, healthy living ( . . . plus a few healthy injections of Artefill . . . !!!). I usually go back and get a maintenance injection of Radiesse to fill in the same area in my cheeks where I was previous injected with Artefill several weeks prior as the effects of the bovine collagen in the Artefill wane. I opt for Radiesse over the Aretfill as it lasts about a year for me and by the time the Radiesse deminishes the collagen that my body has produced from the Artefill injections has taken effect. I am 51 years old and and look like I'm in my late 30's early 40's. Artefill is a godsend and so is my Dermatologist in Plymouth Meeting, PA. I highly recommend Artefill with a follow up maintenance injection of Radiesse. It works amazingly well for me and may prove the same for you. I hope you find this info helpful.
