Collagen Injections

Have you noticed fine lines and wrinkles springing up on your face? Or do you now have creased or sunken areas? Have your cheeks or lips lost their fullness? Do you have “crow’s feet” around your forehead or eyes? Collagen loss is probably to blame. But collagen injections can replenish your skin’s natural collagen, helping these signs of aging disappear and restoring your youthful look.

Collagen, as the most-abundant, natural protein found in our bodies, provides structural support for tendons and bones and gives texture and shape to our skin. As we age, our bodies’ collagen begins to break down and disappear – with fine lines and wrinkles left in its place. Collagen injections (sometimes considered fat injections) are a non-surgical procedure that can provide a temporary anti-aging solution with minimal pain. By injecting highly purified (human or bovine) collagen into various areas of your face, your natural collagen is replenished and you will have a more youthful appearance. Collagen injections are temporary, however, and do not completely eliminate your wrinkles so you may want to first consider another skin-resurfacing treatment (including chemical peels or dermabrasion) to remove the deeper wrinkles and then use collagen injections to prevent their recurrence.
