Collagen Treatments
Collagen treatments are a temporary solution to filling in facial lines and augmenting or enhancing lips. Acne scars and facial depressions can also be corrected with Collagen. It works by replacing the natural collagen that your skin loses over time from aging. Just like the natural collagen in your skin, injectable Collagen begins to lose its form and will eventually wear down. Full correction occurs and is maintained only with a series of treatments. Depending on age, skin condition, and the amount of sun damage, your program will be tailored to incorporate your individual needs. Every patient is required to have a skin test, usually in the forearm, to determine if you are sensitive to Collagen. If after a month there is no reaction in the test site, you may have the Collagen treatment. The treatment can be done in as little as 30 minutes with minimal discomfort and virtually no recovery time. The cost of Collagen varies depending on the areas treated and how much Collagen is necessary for full correction. Call the office for more details.
