I am thoroughly convinced that Artefil should only be injected by how experienced the physician is in using this product. My dr trains other dr's how to use it. I needed it in the tear troughs, sides of my temple (from volume loss) , a divot in my cheek, and my chin. Dr Pierone uses a micro cannula therefore preventing ANY bruising. When I have had Juvederm from a syringe I bruise horribly. He explained that it takes 2-3 times with artefill because he does not want to overfill and one loses 20_30% of the initial dosage . Depending upon your skin your own collegan contributes to how the end result could be. I was very leary to do tear troughs but they came out beautiful. I could not be happier with my results.

It's always so great to hear when someone is so happy with their results. Do you take Arnica or ice after your injections?

No, nothing and I bruise so easily !! But the dr used a micro cannula so there is literally NO bruising !!

That is awesome!! Since from what I understand the cannula is more blunt than a needle (and please correct me if that is incorrect), did the injection hurt more, or did you feel more pressure than you think you would have with a regular needle?

No, actually it is just a pinprick needle which you can barely feel and canot see any trace of afterwards. I am convinced it is the only way to get fillers. I would NEVER go back to a standard gauge needle again ( except for Botox). Botox should not bruise if done correctly with a 33 gauge needle and icing the area before.

I am glad you are satisfied with the results.I was satisfied also till lumps started forming, they are under eyes, sides of my mouth and now a big one has came on my chin.I truly hope this doesn't happen to you, I would give anything if I had not had Artefil!! My Dr. also uses a cannula.

What kind of lumps are you talking about and how soon afterwards did you notice them ? Thanks :)
