New fillers for the new man.
Two new collagen-based lidocaine-containing dermal fillers, ArteSense/ArteFill (Artes Medical, San Diego, CA) and Evolence (Colbar LifeScience Ltd., Herzliya, Israel), have proved to be of particular interest to men, many of whom seek a long-lasting or permanent correction. ArteFill has been available in the United States since 2006, and it is expected that Evolence will reach the American market in 2008. The properties of the two products will be described, and experience based on the administration of many hundreds of syringes of both products by a Canadian dermatologist will be detailed here, with tips and precautions to optimize patient outcomes.
