Collagen is a natural injectable
implant used to smooth out lines, wrinkles, and scars
and to plump up lips. It produces rejuvenated, more youthful
looking skin and more proportionate features.
Collagen is a natural substance
that is injected beneath the skin to stimulate your body's
own collagen and rejuvenate the skin. Because your body
reads the implant as its own natural material, this is
a safe treatment. Patients enjoy immediate smoothing
results.
The implant injection procedure
usually takes about 30 minutes to perform, after which
most patients carry on with regular activites. These immediate
results usually last for up to six months, though patients
can usually count on them lasting at least three months.
This can depend, though, on the type of treatment and
the amount of material used.
When the implant does wear down
and results start to fade, patients can pursue a repeat
treatment to preserve their rejuvenated look. You can
consult with your doctor on the best treatment plan for
your situation.
