Wrinkles, Lines and Scars
Wrinkles and skin depressions can be quickly and painlessly filled. We use only the safest products to achieve smooth and youthful appearing skin.  
   

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.
