Breakthrough Technology Leads To New-Age Fountain of Youth

Oct. 21, 2008 - PRLog -- NORTHEAST, Fla. — Northeast Florida residents looking to improve wrinkles now have access to a new, long-lasting solution. Pearson Facial Plastic Surgery is among the first in the country to treat patients with ArteFill^®.

ArteFill is the first and only FDA-approved non-resorbable dermal filler for smile lines. It was accepted by the FDA on October 30, 2006, and has been used to treat over 200,000 patients world-wide with successful results.

According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the number of minimally invasive cosmetic procedures in the United States grew 81 percent from 2000 to 2007, reaching 10 million.

“The demand for treatments to correct wrinkles has skyrocketed during the past few years, and increasingly, people are looking for longer-lasting solutions instead of temporary fixes,” Dr. David Pearson, one of the foremost authorities on ArteFill said. “ArteFill offers patients a new and unique option for enduring results that has a well-established safety record.”

Formulated with an anesthetic or used with an anesthetic block, ArteFill offers patients comfort and convenience. It is administered during a simple and quick in-office visit and usually requires little to no down time. The immediate and visible results patients experience improve over the course of several months and stand the test of time. Most patients require two to three treatments for full correction.

While temporary dermal fillers are eventually absorbed by the body, requiring frequent repeat injections, ArteFill’s unique technology ensures it stays put, providing the support skin needs to correct the wrinkle and prevent further wrinkling for long-lasting results.

“With Dr. David C. Pearson's expertise and that extra mile he gives every patient, I have received above and beyond results from Botox and Artefill,” said Linda S. “It makes me feel years younger.”

About ArteFill
What makes ArteFill unique is its patented filler, which contains tiny acrylic microspheres wrapped in collagen gel.
