What is Collagen?
Collagen is a natural component in the support structure of the skin. With aging, the skin’s collagen layer breaks down and thins and facial lines and wrinkles form. Collagen treatments replace the skin’s lost and damaged collagen, smoothing wrinkles and scars or depressions.Is it safe?
Collagen is FDA-approved with a safety record for over 20 years. No skin test is necessary.What are the most common areas treated?
Smile lines around the nose and mouth, vertical lip lines, acne scars and lip enhancement.When will I see the effects? How long does it last?
Results are immediate and effects last three to six months, after which your face gradually returns to its natural contours.What is Restylane®? How is it different from collagen treatments?Restylane® is also a dermal filler like collagen, which is used for subtle contour defects. It is made of hyaluronic acid, a natural sugar found in all cells that attracts water and hydrates the skin, giving it volume and fullness. Collagen restores skin structure and is used to fill lines and wrinkles.What Patients Can Expect With a Collagen or Restylane® Treatment?
- Using a micro-needle, collagen is injected just below a wrinkle, scar or depression in order to "fill" it in, smoothing the surface of the skin.
|
- Collagen is formulated with an anesthetic for comfort during treatments which last less than 1 hour.
|
- Occasionally, patients may have temporary redness and swelling immediately after treatment.
