Treatments: temporary or permanent fillers. We live in an exciting time where the variety of fillers and volumizers allows the safe and effective correction of volume loss and wrinkles over the entire face. Bovine collagen, for decades the only available injectable agent, has now been largely replaced by other, mostly synthetic compounds that have a variable live span and indication. They can be used to correct static lines over the entire face, to lessen dark circles under the eyes, augment lost volume in the cheeks and in the lips, and plump up the back of your hands for rejuvenation.

With the exception of one (Artefill), they get degraded by the body’s own enzymes over periods of 3-24 months and do not require skin testing prior to the procedure. People who like the effects of the temporary fillers and want to reduce the number of injections over time may choose Artefill, the only permanent injectable filler and volumizer. Because its filler component is collagen-based, it needs a skin test one month prior to injection.
