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.
