PMMA + Cow Collagen: Artefill is the only fda approved, long lasting ('permanent'?) filler in the usa. It is a proprietary mixture of very pure, 40-60 micron spheres of synthetic poly-methyl-meth-acrylate (used safely in humans for replacement lenses in eyes and holding in artificial joints for many years) suspended in ultra pure cow collagen (carrier). Do a small test spot 1st to be sure cow collagen is ok for you.
