Dr. Kim-Chi Vu in Portland Selects Artefill to Meet Growing Patient Demand for a Longer Lasting Der...( PORTLAND Ore. July ...),Health

PORTLAND, Ore., July 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Kim-Chi Vu, M.D., P.C. has selected Artefill, the first and only FDA-approved microsphere-enhanced collagen filler for the correction of smile lines.
