 Facial wrinkles and creases begin to appear as the
underlying collagen and elastin fibers begin to break down and wear out. While this breakdown is part
of the natural aging process, it can also result from excessive squinting, frowning and smiling.
The most frequently used
material for filling facial wrinkles and frown lines is injectable collagen.
Collagen injections have been one of the top ten cosmetic procedures performed in the United
States since they were approved by the FDA in 1981. injectable collagen is a natural substance
derived from purified bovine (cow) collagen and is used to replace the collagen your skin loses over
time. injectable collagen is placed just beneath your skin where your body accepts it as its own.
By supplementing your skin's own collagen with injectable collagen, we can smooth out wrinkles
and most scars. We can also improve the appearance of deeper frown lines and nasal labial
furrows. Collagen injections are a safe, effective, time-tested, non-surgical wrinkle treatment that
provides immediate results.
However, collagen injections aren't for everyone. A very small percentage of patients are allergic to
bovine collagen. If you are considering collagen injections to correct the early signs of aging, you
will need to have a simple skin test prior to your treatment. Botox
injections are also extremely effective in treating wrinkles.
