Dr. Benjamin Raab of Naperville, IL Selects Artefill to Meet Growing Patient
Demand for a Longer Lasting Dermal Filler
Artefill Proven to Deliver Patients a Solution for Younger, Natural and
Smoother Looking Skin

NAPERVILLE, Ill., July 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Benjamin J. Raab, M.D., head of
Dermatology & Cosmetic Skin Surgery, has selected Artefill, the first and only
FDA-approved microsphere-enhanced collagen filler for the correction of smile
lines, to treat patients who are looking for a longer lasting dermal filler.
Dr. Raab has treated over 150 patients with Artefill the past several years
due to its proven success and effectiveness for the correction of wrinkles. 

"Artefill is a paradigm shift in our thinking from temporary to long lasting
fillers for wrinkle correction," said Benjamin J. Raab, M.D. "This
breakthrough product has proven to be more effective than any other filler
product to address a patient's desire for long lasting, natural feeling
wrinkle correction."

This simple, in-office procedure takes approximately fifteen minutes to
complete. A patient is injected with Artefill similar to other dermal fillers
with the key difference being its lasting effect. The unique microspheres in
Artefill are not absorbed by the body and therefore provide a scaffold for the
patient's own collagen stimulation to generate long lasting natural feeling
results. This is different from temporary dermal fillers that are made of
different kinds of natural or synthetic materials that are completely absorbed
by the body over time and require repeat injections to maintain wrinkle
correction. A skin test is required prior to treatment or approximately four
(4) weeks ahead of time, to ensure a patient is not allergic to the collagen
or anesthetic in Artefill. 

Artefill is only offered by a select group of physicians in Illinois and is
not available at all physician offices.   Dr. Raab is one of the company
trained and select few company sponsored physicians who has the skills and
experience needed to administer the product.    

A female patient of Dr. Raab's said, "What a natural transformation!  It was a
subtle change which produced extremely positive feedback. Artefill performed
above and beyond my expectations and naturally recreated the youthful
silhouette around my mouth.  I am extremely pleased with the results!"

About Artefill:
Artefill is the first and only FDA-approved microsphere-enhanced collagen
filler for the correction of nasolabial folds, better known as smile lines.
The safety and effectiveness of Artefill has been extensively studied over the

have been treated successfully with very high satisfaction rates.

manufacturing and commercializing novel, differentiated aesthetic products for
