Another new filler to the stable
Not only is Artefill ( a permanent filer for smile lines) now available at the Virginia Center for Plastic Surgery, but we also now have Radiesse available.
Radiesse is injected into the skin through a simple, safe and minimally invasive procedure. Radiesse is made of very tiny calcium based microspheres that are suspended in a natural gel.
Now we have a full range of dermal fillers for our patients.
Hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane and Juvederm, which in my clinical practice last about 8-9 months (though Juvederm is marketed to last a year.)
Calcium based fillers that seem to last about a year to year and a half. And finally . . .
Artefill, the only product labeled as a permanent filler. It is made of miniature beads (microspheres) of PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) that are suspended in bovine collagen. PMMA has been used for many years in medical implants.
