COLLAGEN TREATMENTS

Collagen injection is usually given in a series of treatments, until the desired effect of "filling out" a wrinkle or depression is achieved. A local anesthetic minimizes discomfort from the injection needle. The effects of collagen injection usually last 3 months.

There are new non-bovine collagen alternatives that will be available soon from the same makers. These will be more expensive but can be used if you are allergic to bovine collagen treatments.
