Collagen injections treat the visible signs of aging where they start – below the skin’s surface.

Collagen is a protein found in many parts of the body, including in the skin, bones and muscles. Acting as a natural scaffolding, it provides support to the skin. Due to factors including age, trauma, smoking, and heredity, collagen fibers harden and their uniform texture disintegrates. This process translates into fine lines, wrinkles and creases wherever surface skin settles into the depressed zones.

Collagen injections fill in gaps and irregularities within the existing collagen to restore the natural contours of your face. It can smooth out wrinkles, certain types of scars, and other skin depressions by replenishing your skin's lost collagen. Collagen treatments can also enhance the natural shape and fullness of your lips and can fill in "lipstick lines".

Because a small percentage of people are allergic to bovine collagen, you will need two skin tests prior to your first treatment. After treatment, results are immediate and recovery time is brief. Also, like the skin’s own collagen, the injections wear off over time. Results typically last three to six months.
