What exactly are the microspheres in ArteFill?
These tiny microspheres are made of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), one of the most commonly used artificial implant materials in medicine. PMMA is widely used for intraocular lenses and as a bone substitute due to its biocompatibility and proven safety in over 60 years of clinical use. With ArteFill, the microspheres remain intact at the injection site and provide a permanent structure to support the wrinkle and help prevent further wrinkling.
