Make smoother, healthier skin a reality with collagen treatments.
Some defects in the skin are too deep to be corrected
with laser resurfacing, yet are not worth going
through the expense and trauma of surgery. For
smaller facial lines, scars and lip enhancements,
Collagen Replacement Therapy®
or Restylane®
may be an option.
Treatment and Benefits
Facial lines appear with age due to a loss of
elasticity in the deeper layers of the skin
where collagen, a protein, is the primary component.
Collagen Replacement Therapy®
or Restylane®
supplements the skin's natural collagen, filling
in facial lines and scars. The substances that
can be used are purified bovine (cow) collagen
which requires a test patch to rule out allergy,
human-based collagen, and Restylane®
which require no test patch. Restylane®
is the first cosmetic dermal filler made of
non-animal-based hyaluronic acid, a natural
substance that already exists in the human body.
Most clients find that one or two simple treatments
is enough to correct skin defects for many months.
