Collagen
Just below the epidermis lies the second layer of skin, the dermis. The dermis is primarily made up of a protein called "collagen". This protein forms a network of fibers that provides a framework for the growth of cells and blood vessels. Because it is the primary component of the dermis, collagen acts as the support structure for the skin.

Why do lines and wrinkles appear?
In young skin, the collagen framework is intact and the skin remains moist and elastic, resistant to our facial expressions, as well as everyday wear and tear. Over time, the support structure weakens and the skin loses its elasticity.

How does Collagen Replacement Therapy work?

Collagen Replacement Therapy replenishes the skin's natural collagen. The natural appearance of your skin may be enhanced as the contour of the support structure is restored. Cosmoderm and Cosmoplast Collagen are natural substances that replace the collagen your skin loses over time.

Derived from purified bovine (cow) collagen, Cosmoderm and Cosmoplast Collagen are placed just beneath the skin where the body commonly accepts them as its own.

By supplementing your skin's own collagen, Collagen Replacement Therapy helps to smooth facial lines as well as most types of scars. From this proven, non-surgical treatment, you may obtain immediate results. You can have your Collagen Replacement Therapy during a lunch hour.

How many Collagen treatments will I need?

Just like your natural collagen, injectable collagen begins to lose its form and will eventually wear down. Full correction occurs and is maintained only with a series of treatments. Depending on age, skin condition, and amount of sun damage, your treatment program will be tailored to incorporate your individual needs.
