ArteSense differs
from the temporary fillers in that the procedure does not yield an
immediate result. The objective of ArteSense is to initiate fibroplasia and collagen synthesis. There will be temporary correction for
2 to 4 weeks and then as the collagen is reabsorbed, their lines will
reappear or lips will return to the size they were prior to injection.
After 3 weeks the histological climax of fibroplast activity is reached. A
gradual filling of the line will start in about 6-8 weeks. At 3 months the
implant is predominantly interwoven with fibroblasts and collagen fibers
and the process of fibroplasia is usually complete. Complete correction
may require two sessions.
