ABSTRACT

Artecoll is a dermal wrinkle filler that will be released in 2005 as Artefill™. As one of the eight lead investigators for the U.S. study that compared Artecoll to Zyplast™, I am reporting my experience with this new filler. Background information, injection technique, training, and other caveats are shared with focus on safety and up-to-date information on the product's status.
