Collagen New York

If you are considering a facial-rejuvenation treatment with collagen in the New York area, consider The Skin Institute of New York.

Collagen is a natural protein found in all mammals. Injected collagen is primarily used to improve the appearance of your skin's texture.

It can help fill out deep facial wrinkles, creases and furrows, sunken cheeks, skin depressions and some types of scars. It can also be used to add a fuller, more sensuous look to your lips.

Benefits of Collagen

Smiling, frowning and squinting can form facial lines and wrinkles because of reduced levels of collagen in your body.

Collagen injections can reduce these fine lines and wrinkles and provide a smoother, more youthful appearance to your skin. It involves non-surgical injections of collagen beneath the wrinkle or crease, elevating it to the level of the surrounding skin.

You should expect to receive a small injection of local anesthesia to numb the area being treated.

Remember, there is a possibility of slight bruising, and you may experience puffiness, redness and tenderness around the treated site.

Depending on the amount of collagen injected, you may need continued treatments to maintain the smoothing effect. It's important to discuss with your physician exactly what you can expect from each treatment.

Consult your doctor about the following:

  • What will I look like after my procedure?
  • How long will the effects take to appear?
  • How long will they last?
  • Will I need multiple treatments?
  • Are there any side effects?

As with other procedures, it is always important to discuss your complete medical history with your physician. Injectables are not appropriate for certain lines and scars or when certain medical conditions are present. It is very important to discuss and understand what filler injections can do for you.
