A member asked:

Can artefill be used to treat all the wrinkles on my face? i have crows' feet around my eyes and deep laugh lines that go from my nose to the corners of my lips. i wanted to get artefill injections because i heard that they are one of the longest-lasting

Absolutely : Absolutely not in the area around your eyes! the safest place to use it is the crease between the nose and the corner of the mouth. However, if you've never had a filler before, i'd suggest you use one of the shorter acting fillers first just to see how you react to it and how you like the appearance. The only problem with the longer lasting fillers is that if there is a reaction of some sort, it is also much longer lasting.

Not: Not on the wrinkles around your eyes. Yes on the laugh lines you mentioned. For the wrinkles around your eyes you could use platelet enriched plasma.

Run for the hills: This stuff is basically plexiglass injection. There are better options that are safer. In my practice i would never treat a patient i knew had artefill. It has polymethylmethacrylate (pmma) which is basically plexiglass. Run for the hills.
