Collagen Washington DC

Collagen is great revitalizing material that is used widely on different parts of the face to rejuvenate wrinkles, tired, lackluster appearances. It is commonly injected into the lips to provide definition and a plumper, sometimes poutier, look. Its is also often used to smooth out wrinkles between the nose and corners of the mouth, and for the wrinkles bordering the mouth. Collagen can also flatten obvious scars.

Collagen is a natural substance that replenishes the body's own layer of collagen under the skin. So, when injected into the skin in implant form, they are accepted as a recognized material, and immediately stimulate the existent, though diminished, original collagen. A visible change occurs right after the injection, so patients walk out of their treatments feeling a renewed confidence. The results usuually last for about 3-6 months, depending on the amount of collagen used the area of the face that was treated.

A collagen treatment usually takes about 30 minutes to administer. Most patients are able to get right back to work or other normal routines immediately following the treatment.
