Collagen Replacement Therapy
Collagen replacement therapy is a safe, effective and non-surgical way to create fuller lips, smooth out facial wrinkles and scars, and improve the appearance of deep frown lines or furrowed brows.
Collagen, the natural protein that provides skin with texture and shape and elasticity, diminishes with aging.
During treatment, collagen is injected with a very fine needle beneath the skin's surface to plump or fill the depressed areas. The injections contain a small amount of lidocaine, a local anesthetic that numbs the area. Collagen injections generally take about 20 minutes per session, and effects can be seen immediately, with little redness or swelling.
Slight swelling may be evident after treatment, but will only last a few hours. Minor bruising may also occur for a few days. Normal activities can be resumed immediately after the procedure.
