| Collagen replacement therapy |
|
| Most people want to look as youthful as they possibly
can. If you are serious about looking good and are worried
by the subtle changes that time inflicts, then you should
consider collagen instant therapy - or an alternative filler. |
| What is Collagen? |
| The supportive layers under the surface of your skin
are formed of collagen; a natural substance that gives
your skin a youthful resilience, texture and shape. |
| As you start to grow older the natural collagen is slowly
lost and your skin starts to show the usual signs of ageing
- wrinkles appear, creases become permanent and your looks
gradually change, as does other people's perception of
your age. |
| How does collagen instant therapy work? |
| The technique involves implanting naturally occurring
collagen into the skin in order to exert gentle pressure
from below, giving your skin back some of its natural firmness
and elasticity. |
| Because collagen is a natural protein it is completely
compatible with your natural tissues and remains as an
inert layer for long periods. As time passes, the collagen,
like your own, gradually disappears and your looks will
benefit greatly from further treatment. |
| Collagen instant therapy can be used with great benefit
to most facial areas. Generally speaking whenever wrinkles
occur it is a simple matter to replace the lost collagen
and help to restore a more youthful, smoother skin. |
| Collagen instant therapy can also be used to create lips
that are more full and pouting: as you grow older your
lips generally grow thinner. Lip margins can be easily
enhanced and restored to their former beauty. |
| For scarred and pitted skin |
| Another very popular use for collagen instant therapy
is to reduce and soften facial scars, either those
from old injuries or from skin complaints such as acne.
Scars generally form a depression in the skin and collagen
instant therapy is used to lift this area and blend it
in with the surrounding skin. |
| Safe in safe hands |
| Collagen instant therapy is quick, easy and, in skillful
hands, is performed with the minimum discomfort. Treatment
visits should only take 30 minutes. Repeat treatments can
be given whenever you see the need for improvement again.
Sometimes these further treatments require less collagen
than your initial treatment. |
| Naturally, you will receive a pre-treatment consultation
where you will discuss your needs in full and your practitioner
will advise on the best way to achieve the desired results. |
| It will be necessary for you to have a skin test to make
sure that you are not allergic to the natural collagen.
This presents no problems in the vast majority of clients,
in fact nearly one million men and women have received
collagen instant therapy which has been available for over
ten years. Where intolerance is a problem, or when you
do not want to wait for the results of a skin test, you
could try Hydrafill, JuvédermT or Restylane. |
| Choosing between the dermal fillers is judged by your
nurse's experience, the individual's sense of urgency,
personal preference, ethical beliefs and cost effectiveness. |
