For those with depressed scarring, deeper frown lines and creases caused by facial expressions Collagen Replacement Therapy could be for you. Collagen is also effective for those who would like plump, fuller looking lips.

What is it?

SkinSpirit is pleased to offer CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast, the first commercially available human collagen dermal filler that does not require a skin test prior to use. While highly purified bovine collagen in ZyDerm and ZyPlast has been used safely for over 20 years, a small percentage of people can be allergic to it, requiring the need for a test and waiting period prior to any treatment. CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast contain human collagen purified from human dermal tissue and do not require a pre-treatment skin test as there have been no reported allergic reactions. CosmoDerm is used in the treatment of superficial lines, whereas CosmoPlast is primarily used in the treatment of more pronounced wrinkles.

How does it work?

Collagen is injected under the skin beneath the wrinkle or other area through a tiny needle. Your body accepts this collagen as its own, bringing new vitality to the treated area. Eventually your body metabolizes the substance and breaks it down, just as it would with natural collagen.

Results

The effects of the 15 minute session are immediate… you'll witness the smoothing of lines and creases or the fullness of your lip right away. Depending on the depth and length of the wrinkle, additional injections may be necessary. The results are temporary: Age, skin quality, genetics and lifestyle as well as the injected site play a role in how long the results will last - It may be several weeks or 3-6 months
