Collagen
Replacement
Collagen
is a natural protein found throughout the
body that provides structure to the skin.
Collagen injections are a time-honored method
of treating wrinkles and depressions on
the face.
Collagen
fibers are woven like threads to form a
supportive foundation and enhance the contours
of outer layers of skin.
Collagen
injections have an immediate effect on lines
and wrinkles. Like your own collagen, however,
your body eventually absorbs collagen, so
ongoing treatments are necessary. If you
discontinue treatments, the new collagen
is reabsorbed and your face gradually returns
to its natural contour. Collagen treatments
last from 3 to 6 months depending on the
individual and area treated.
