What are some of the
treatment options?
Crow's feet,
frown lines, and wrinkles on the upper face are best treated with
Botox and fillers such as Collagen or Dermalogen. Wrinkles in the
lower face, around the mouth, or the labial nasal folds are best
treated with fillers. Fine line and small wrinkles are easily treated
by photo-rejuvenation with intense pulsed light.
What
is collagen?
Collagen is
a protein that provides the structural support of your skin. Wrinkles
form when this natural collagen thins with aging. Natural collagen
is constantly being absorbed and replaced under
our skin.
What is Collagen
Replacement Therapy?
Highly purified
Bovine (cow) Collagen is microinjected directly into areas where
the bodies own collagen is weaker. The skin's collagen layer is
replenished, smoothing lines and wrinkles. Zyderm Collagen is particularly
effective in smoothing delicate frown and smile lines. It is especially
formulated for small, superficial problems. Zyplast collagen is
designed to treat deeper, more pronounced problems. Both are often
used together for
optimal results.
How long does collagen
last?
Like your own
natural collagen, your body eventually absorbs injected collagen,
so ongoing treatments are necessary. People absorb collagen at varying
rates, treatments generally last 3 to 6 months. It has been reported
that the benefits may last for up to 2 years in some patients.
Are collagen injections
safe?
Collagen replacement
has been used safely and effectively for over 15 years. Zyplast
and Zyderm have been used in over 1,000,000 patients. A few patients
are allergic to Bovine Collagen, and so a skin test must be administered
prior to treatment to screen for pre-existing allergy to collagen.
What is Dermalogen?
Dermalogen is
an injectable human tissue matrix containing collagen fibers.
What is the difference
between Dermalogen and Bovine Collagen
(Zyderm and Zyplast)?
Both can be
used for treating facial contour defects and wrinkles. Dermalogen
may require 2 to 3 treatments over a three-month period. It has
shown to last many months to a year. No skin test for allergies
is required with Dermalogen.
Is Dermalogen safe?
Dermalogen comes
from human donors. The company follows strict, federally mandated
safety guidelines. Based on many years of use and careful follow-up,
there has never been a case of viral or infectious agent transmission.
