Both collagen replacement therapy and collagen implants have been proven safe and effective in treating the conditions resulting from aging.  Wrinkles, skin depressions, acne scars and poorly defined lip borders are all treatable problems with collagen.  The procedure is nonsurgical and is performed in the doctors office.  Treatment sessions are approximately one hour.  One treatment can result in immediate results.

Collagen implants replace the skins natural collagen support system which has been worn down from the aging process.  The collagen material is injected just beneath the skin's surface visibly changing the appearance of your skin.  Benefits of treatment last approximately 3-6 months.  Since collagen implants are natural substances they do eventually breakdown resulting in the need for additional treatments to  maintain the desired results. 

Zyderm and Zyplast are collagen implants that are injectable and subjected to the FDA approval process.  A numbing agent, lidocaine, is included in the product for added comfort during the procedure.
