Artecoll is a new treatment for wrinkles that has mostly been used in Europe previous to this. It is basically made up of PMMA microspheres, and they say it fills your dips with collagen at a better rate without actually causing the fast breakdown that is often associated with many collagen injections and other injections in general. The microspheres are basically 32-40 microns in size, and they are completely round and smooth. They use a 0.3% concentration of lidocaine hydrochloride, and it’s meant for long lasting augmentation of the skin and filling in of the wrinkles and connective tissue. They claim to have only the highest standards for generalized production, and unless you are allergic to the animal form, it is relatively safe. There has been some site injection pain and irritation as well as redness and some swelling reported. But reports of side effects are low at this time. However, it remains rather expensive for many, and still it breaks down over time, not really rebuilding the skin for more permanent results. However, it is an improvement to some degree upon old injections and otherwise. Of course, that’s not necessarily saying much. But the market of course keeps progressing in science and new methods of action.
