Skin and wrinkles-
As skin ages and also with the effect of sun damage our
dermal layer that contains collagen and
elastin fibers that support the upper
skin layer, lose lot of collagen. As the collagen is lost, wrinkles form and
cannot be repaired unless the collagen is brought back. This is done by
collagen implants or collagen injections. This is a very simple procedure and
will give your skin a young look again. Let us find out more about skin and
collagen implants.
Types of collagen for skin implants -
You have a choice of human collagen or bovine collagen. The
body of most of the people accepts both these types. Your surgeon will decide
upon the choice of collagen that has to be used for you.
Collagen skin injection procedure-
In this procedure the doctor will first discuss with you
about the types of wrinkles that can be removed with collagen injections. Once
both of you decide about the wrinkles, collagen will be injected below the skin
near the wrinkle with a fine needle. It is not a very painful procedure. You
may feel some swelling for a day or two.
Collagen implants in skin and repetition of procedure-
As collagen is a protein, the body will slowly absorb it.
You may need another injection after some months. This also depends upon the
location of the wrinkles. Areas that you use very often may need injection
earlier than those you don't use so often. For example, all your face area near
your mouth is most used as you speak. That portion may need an injection sooner
than other areas. Collagen injections are one of the easiest ways to remove
wrinkles and get a young looking face again.
