Artefill is an injectable filler used on wrinkles and facial lines such as crow’s feet and the folds from the nose to the mouth (nasolabial folds). The filler is made up of small synthetic polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microparticles or ‘beads’ suspended in collagen. The PMMA microparticles are ’non-resorbable’, which means they will not be absorbed into the body, allowing Artefill to last significantly longer than other dermal fillers. Following the injection, the collagen degrades quickly, leaving the PMMA beads indefinitely; the subsequent collagen reaction around the particles creates volume. Unlike temporary fillers, the immediate filling effect disappears rather quickly and, over time, gradual, but long-lasting correction is established.
