Artesense - Your final choice for lasting beauty

Tired of having the same thing for lunch day after day? Why not try something new -- like looking younger in 15 minutes?

Welcome to a banquet of beautiful possibilities. Artesense creates a sumptuous feast for the eye -- for years to come.

Artesense is the latest breakthrough in skin rejuvenation. An injectable long-lasting implant, it restores your natural, youthful appearance -- safely -- for ten years or longer. Now you can improve your looks in less than a lunch hour, for as long as you want. Rid yourself of unsightly acne scars, thin lips, sunken frowns and highways of laugh lines -- once and for all.

What's the recipe?

Artesense combines three key ingredients into one injectable implant. Microscopic PMMA beads are folded into just enough collagen to carry them through a fine needle. A trace of anesthetic, lidocaine, is added to the slurry to dull any discomfort during injection.

Think of it as icing, piped through the finest baker's tool, to add a touch of garnish.

Artesense works by stimulating the growth of natural collagen, a vital skin protein lost over time. Collagen adds volume and structure to skin. Just as a grain of sand in an oyster transforms itself into a valuable pearl, injected tiny PMMA beads become enveloped in your own collagen, binding them into place under the skin. This process takes about two to three months as the collagen carrier used to deliver the PMMA under your skin is absorbed, and your body forms new collagen. Your lines and wrinkles diminish. Your laugh lines are refined once again.

PMMA is an inert substance used in eye lenses, dental work, bone repair, artificial hips and limbs, and pacemakers since the early 1930's. It is a biocompatible substance, and it is safe.

Skin testing is optional. One person in a thousand may develop a sensitivity or allergy to the collagen in Artesense.

Artesense is the only skin treatment to defy time. Depending on your body, its effects linger for ten years or longer. Results will vary from one person to another.

What you may be wondering

The amount of Artesense that is injected varies, too, from person to person. In some cases, 2 or 3 treatments may be required to obtain the results you desire.

Artesense incorporates a unique technology allowing it to reside in the dermis longer. Each treatment is administered by a trained physician, and can be done within a lunch hour. Anywhere from 15 minutes or longer, depending on the procedure.

Will it hurt? Injections are often painless, however, anesthetic can allay any worry and is recommended before lip augmentation, as this is one of the most sensitive areas of the face.

More than one syringe of the product may be required to achieve the results you desire, however, over correction of your initial treatment is not advisable. How much product will you need? Many variables such as the depth of the fold/wrinkle, and your body's response will dictate the amount.

As with all injectable implants, swelling, redness, lumps/bumps, bruising and itchiness may occur following treatment. These symptoms usually subside in a few days. Cold compresses and acetaminophen help. Never use products containing aspirin (ASA).

Although over 150,000 patients worldwide have been safely treated with Artesense, all medical procedures are subject to certain risks. Consult with a physician for contraindications, precautions and/or side effects.

Soften your facial features with a fresh new look. You can look younger without the downtime or cost of a surgical procedure. Sweeten your looks with Artesense.
