Every week, cosmetic surgeons announce the development of a new dermal filler. One has to wonder why we continue to have so many dermal fillers because each filler released in the past was said to be the best ever. Anyway, such is business in cosmetics.
First the facts- there is no dermal filler today that will last forever. The majority of dermal fillers available on the market last for a few short months. Some of the newer ones last a year or maybe two, if you are lucky.
Artefill is being touted to be long acting dermal filler- meaning that if you have your lips plumped up today, they will still look luscious for a few more years- at least that is how it is supposed to work.
PS Artefill is now off the market but some physicians may have old supplies. The company went bankrupt last year
What is Artefill used for?
The cosmetic surgeons use dermal fillers to erase your wrinkles, fine lines, deep creases, and hollowed cheeks. Artefill is also used to plump-up lips and some physicians also use it to treat acne scars
Should I get Artefill first time around?
Most definitely not. Never get a semi permanent filler the first time. The reason is you may not like it, or it may not look great or there may be a complication- and once you got the darn filler in your body, you have to wait 2 years before it disappears. So always, go for a short acting filler first time. This way you know what to expect and have a realistic expectation. Moreover, this way you will also get to know the side effects and recovery time.
How does the procedure work?
Well, Artefill is never injected the first time you see a doctor. You need to undergo an allergy test. A small amount is injected in your skin and you come back in 4 weeks. If you have redness or swelling, then you are allergic to the product and you have to get something else. If you have no response, you are all set to look gorgeous.
