Collagen
Injections In Scottsdale, Arizona

Another
method of wrinkle reduction is the use of Collagen Replacement
Therapy or other soft tissue fillers to smooth out facial lines,
wrinkles, and scars by replenishing the collagen layer beneath
your skin. Whereas Botox treatments are usually reserved for
the top half of the face, collagen injections can reduce lines
around the nose and mouth and enhance the size, shape and beauty
of your lips. It has been used safely for almost two decades
as an effective cosmetic procedure and has been thoroughly tested
in multiple clinical studies - one of the most proven anti-wrinkle
treatments!
Collagen is a natural protein in the layer of skin below the
surface layer. Its fibers support the structure and enhance
the contours of the upper layer of skin. Chronic sun damage
and aging weaken the natural collagen framework and it loses
its elasticity. Wrinkles are the result of years of facial expressions
and the effect of gravity as we age. Older skin isn't as resilient
as it used it be, so facial lines don't disappear when you stop
smiling or frowning. Creams can moisturize the surface of your
skin, but they can't take away the lines or wrinkles that are
caused by the wearing away of the underlying support layer of
collagen. That's where collagen injections come in!

Soft tissue
fillers are injected into the treated areas after a local or
topical anesthetic is applied. Afterwards, mild redness and
swelling can last 12-24 hours, with occasional bruising that
can last a week to ten days. Just like natural collagen, facial
collagen injections will eventually lose their form and be broken
down by the body's natural processes. |
