ArteFill In Those Wrinkles

Ah, if only we could pass old, and go directly to wise. Well, if you ask the creators of ArteFill, we can: ArteFill—the first and only FDA-approved non-resorbable wrinkle filler—is said to last 9 years, opposed to the typical 1-6 months of other fillers. (Its first clinical trial was in '97; just this year, 9 years later, she needed a touch-up.) A mix of microspheres, purified bovine collagen gel, and lidocaine, ArteFill corrects wrinkles and then provides the support to keep them away. So, knocking a decade off our mugs? Yes, please. But, still, the long-term effects are still hugely undetermined. As one of our editors put it, "What if after 2 years, they realize it's bad for you? 7 years to go!" Excellent point—get stuck with a 9-year car payment, fine, but a freaky frozen face? Pass.
