I have had Artecoll about 10 years ago for very deep nasal folds. Can a semi permanent filler be used for current corrections?

Question

Now Artecoll/Artefill is no longer legal in Canada and I was wonder if i could get a non permanent filler to do small correction in same area.

Yes, you can use HA fillers to improve nasolabial folds, but a combination approach will give the most improvement. I recommend fillers for the folds themselves but also lifting around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, rf treatments, J Plasma and peels to get the most conservative natural look. Please see a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Yes you could use a hyaluronic filler such as juvederm  or voluma to treat this area.  There is also a product called bellafill which has replaced  artefill in the US. I don't know if it is available in Canada. It has been shown to last 5 years.

Hello, 
Hylauronic acid fillers such as Restylane L by Galderma or Juvederm Ultra Plus by Allergan can both be used to fill in the nasolibial lines. The results usually last between 9-12 months.
