Non-Resorbable Dermal Filler LaunchedU.S. physicians can now offer patients more lasting filler treatments using ArteFill the first and only FDA-approved non-resorbable dermal filler. Artes Medical, Inc., the San Diego, CA-based manufacturer, claims microspheres in ArteFill are not absorbed by the body and therefore provide the first-of-its-kind permanent support for long-lasting wrinkle correction in one to two treatments. ArteFill was approved by the FDA in October 2006 based on data from the Company’s 12-month controlled, randomized, double-masked, multi-center U.S. clinical trial, which compared outcomes for patients treated with ArteFill with those of patients treated with the leading bovine collagen-based filler.For more information, visit the company’s Web site at www.artesmedical.com.
