What is Artefill?
As we age, our skin becomes drier, thinner, and less elastic, leading to the development of wrinkles, particularly in those regions where creases and folds occur most often. One of the most prominent of these regions is the skin around the mouth, with “smile lines” a common development for many older individuals. Fortunately, certain types of treatment can help to reduce the appearance of these wrinkles, including Artefill, an injectable dermal filler.
If you would like to improve the appearance of your face’s skin, Artefill and other medical procedures may be able to help.

Components of Artefill
While Artefill is intended for use in reducing the appearance of nasolabial folds, or smile lines, it is also commonly used by physicians to treat wrinkles and lines all over the face. The chemical components of Artefill include:
- Medical grade polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)
- Collagen
- Lidocaine
- Buffers
These different chemical components serve different purposes. The most important of these is PMMA, the microspheres of which cannot be absorbed by the body, making Artefill a permanent solution for unwanted smile lines.
