Collagen
Every year thousands of men and women achieve successful results with collagen. Collagen is a protein substance which cosmetic surgeons have been using effectively and safely in hundreds of thousands of patients over the years to treat facial wrinkles and scars and to augment lips.
CosmoDerm™ and CosmoPlast™ collagen products are the only FDA-approved, commercially available products that contain natural human collagen similar to that found in skin. Unlike bovine-based collagen products, CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast do not require a pre-treatment skin test, making them the first same-day, single-visit collagen product approved in the United States.
Results are safe and immediate whether correcting facial wrinkles, frown lines, nasolabial folds or vermilion borders. CosmoDerm is used in the treatment of superficial lines, whereas CosmoPlast is primarily used in the treatment of more pronounced wrinkles. Both contain lidocaine that reduces the pain of the injections.
