AB  - In general, all biological materials are resorbed in places where they do not 
      belong. Therefore, artificial substances have to be implanted under deep skin 
      folds and skin defects in order to achieve a permanent skin augmentation. 
      Artecoll, a suspension of polymethylmetcrylate (PMMA)-microspheres in collagen 
      solution, has been proven, for more than 5 years, to underlay wrinkles 
      effectively without noticeable side-effects. Small wrinkles around the eyes, the 
      mouth and cheeks, however, have to be treated by dermabrasion, chemical peel or 
      vaporization by CO2-laser. Using all three methods, the effectiveness depends on 
      the depth of skin traumatisation. Resurfacing using the CO2-laser has the 
      advantage of absolute precision, no bleeding, less swelling and faster 
      healing-but still high costs.
