What if you could get rid of your wrinkles for at least 5 years?
ArteFill® is the longest lasting injectable filler approved by the FDA in 2006 and has been used successfully in over 20,000 patients since then. It's the choice for people who want long lasting results and don't want to have to return regularly for maintainence treatments. The results feel and look natural immediately after the treatment, and improve over several months.

What is Artefill® made of?
ArteFill® contains PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) microspheres and purified bovine collagen gel along with an anesthetic to make the treatment almost painless. PMMA is one of the most widely used substances in medical implants with a proven safety record for over 60 years. After an ArteFill® injection the microspheres that are suspended in the collagen become part of the patient's own tissue as the collagen is resorbed, filling in the wrinkle for enduring correction. Because of it's long lasting results, it's even more important to choose an expert in injectable filler techniques. Dr. Cynthia Elliott has been chosen by Suneva Medical, the makers of Artefill®, to teach other physicians how to inject Artefill®, because of her reputation and experience with injectable fillers.
What to expect with Artefill®
-
Because Artefill® is not reabsorbed by your body, it should be injected in at least 2 stages by an Artefill® trained physician over a period of months. After applying a cream anesthetic to make the treament almost painless, the injections are done under the surface of your skin. Artefill® fills the gaps, raising the skin to its normal height. Over time (2 to 3 months), your body will permanently anchor ArteFill® for a long lasting effect. It takes about 6 months for the full effect to be seen.
