Cosmetic | Collagen

Collagen is actually part of the natural support structure of your skin, but when natural collagen thins due to aging, exposure to the sun, pollution, health issues, or genetic traits, wrinkles can form. Collagen Replacement Therapy replenishes the skin's collagen layer, smothing lines and wrinkles and adding definition to lip borders from the inside out. Successful collagen treatments usually require three sessions, each between 60 and 90 minutes, and the results are immediate. Often collagen lasts up to a year with follow-up treatments recommended every 12 months or so. Without ongoing treatments, the injected collagen is gradually absorbed by the body and the face returns to its original appearance.
