Collagen Replacement TherapyŽ is a natural,
non-surgical procedure which has been used by millions of individuals
to help reduce facial lines and wrinkles, providing immediate and
visible results with minimal recovery time. In fact, many patients
return to work or other activities immediately following their treatment.
The original collagen fillers, Zyderm & Zyplast Collagen,
were derived from purified bovine (cow) and have been replaced by much
more efficient and long lasting products. Although still in use,
these bovine products are not used in our office and Dr. Pilest
recommends the use use of fillers with no allergic potential which
include Cosmoderm or Cosmplast,
Restylane
Juvederm,
Hylaform,
Captique. or the more permanent
fillers such as
Radiesse (Radiance)
or Sculptra.
By supplementing your skin's own collagen we can smooth out wrinkles, most scars,
replace lost facial volume, return a youthful lip border and fullness and
improve the appearance of deeper frown lines.
Immediately following collagen injections normal
activity can be resumed. Discomfort is minimal. The treatment sites
may have a little swelling which may last a few hours and depend on
the filler chosen and your skin's own individual response. There may
be some slight bruising which may be covered by makeup but this is
typically only with the more robust and longer lasting fillers such as
Restylane, Radiesse or Sculptra.
Depending on the area, treatments usually last from
three to six months or up to 5 years in the case of Radiesse.
