 ArteFill. An innovation in safe, enduring
wrinkle correction. Now available from Byrd Aesthetic in
Atlanta, Georgia.
Facial wrinkles are a result of the natural aging process, part of
getting older. Our skin loses its ability to repair itself as
the underlying elastin and collagen fibers break down. Heredity, UV
exposure, and repetitive facial movement can all contribute to the
development of facial wrinkles and folds.
ArteFill is the first and only FDA-approved non-resorbable wrinkle
filler for the correction of smile lines. Unlike other facial fillers,
ArteFill lasts.
- Get immediate, visible results with no downtime
- A simple, in-office procedure
- Results improve over the course of several months and stand the test
of time
- Usually requires only one or two treatments
- Excellent safety profile
How ArteFill works:
ArteFill® contains PMMA microspheres and purified bovine collagen gel with
an anesthetic for comfort during injection. ArteFill is a dual-acting
injectable wrinkle filler that provides immediate and long lasting results.
First, ArteFill visibly corrects the wrinkle. The microspheres then provide
the permanent support your skin needs for enduring wrinkle correction.
Before your initial treatment with ArteFill, a skin test must be
administered 4 weeks prior to screen for an allergy to bovine collagen.
Enduring Results.
Where the results of temporary fillers end, the enduring benefits of
ArteFill® continue.
If you have previously used temporary dermal fillers such as hyaluronic
acid, collagen and fat, then you know they are eventually absorbed by the
body and require frequent repeat injections to maintain correction.
ArteFill is different. The unique microspheres in ArteFill are not absorbed
by the body and provide the permanent support your skin needs for
long-lasting wrinkle correction. You can now get the lasting wrinkle
correction you want in just one or two ArteFill treatments.
ArteFill® answers the growing demand for a safe and permanent injectable
wrinkle filler for the correction of smile lines.
Depending on the depth of their wrinkles and folds, most people get the
results they want with one or two treatments.
With ArteFill Progressive Enhancement™ (gradual wrinkle correction), you and
your doctor can tailor a treatment program to meet your individual needs.
This personalized approach helps to ensure you get the results you desire.
Important Treatment Considerations
ArteFill® is indicated for the correction of facial wrinkles known as
nasolabial folds or smile lines. Some people should not receive ArteFill,
including those who have a positive reaction to the ArteFill collagen skin
test; have a history of severe allergies manifested by a history of
anaphylaxis, or history or presence of multiple severe allergies; are
allergic to the anesthetic (lidocaine); have a history of allergies to any
bovine collagen products; are undergoing or planning to undergo
desensitization injections to meat products; are prone to thick scar
formation and/or excessive scarring.
As with any injectable wrinkle filler, you can expect mild swelling and
reddening at the treatment site. These side effects are usually gone within
24 hours. If you are taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs you may
experience increased bruising or bleeding at the injection sites. Patients
with any skin outbreaks (e.g. cysts, pimples, rashes, hives, infection) near
the injection site should postpone treatment until they clear. The safety
and effectiveness of ArteFill beyond one year have not been established.
It is important that you share your medical information with Dr. Byrd.
Together, you can make an informed decision as to whether ArteFill is right
for you.
