Collagen Replacement Therapy™

Face it…lines and wrinkles happen. However, with collagen skin treatments you can just fill in those little annoyances. Collagen treatments last from 3 to 6 months and take less than an hour in the doctor’s office. Results are immediate and recovery time is so short, you can sneak in a treatment at lunchtime.

AESTHETICS Dr. Paull uses Zyderm® and Zyplast® collagen implants by Inamed Aesthetics for Collagen Replacement Therapy™.

What is Collagen?
Collagen is actually part of the natural support structure of your skin. Wrinkles form when this natural collagen thins. This loss is mostly a factor of aging, but exposure, pollution, health, heredity and lifestyle also play roles. Without enough collagen, wrinkles and lines start to form wherever skin moves. Collagen Replacement Therapy™ (using Zyderm® and Zyplast® collagen implants) replenishes the skin’s collagen layer, smoothing lines and wrinkles, and adding definition to lip borders from the inside out. And, results are immediate.

The Procedure
Collagen Replacement Therapy™ has been proven safe and effective for well over 15 years and is approved by the FDA. Treatment requires minimal recovery and is relatively painless. The collagen contains lidocaine for greater patient comfort. While healing times vary, many people return to work the same day.

Zyderm® and Zyplast® collagen implants are natural products derived from highly purified bovine collagen. In Collagen Replacement Therapy, these implants are injected just under the surface of the skin. Results are immediate and the product does not “migrate.”

Like your own collagen, your body eventually absorbs this collagen so ongoing treatments are necessary to maintain results. If you discontinue treatments, the new collagen is simply reabsorbed and your face gradually returns to its natural contours. People absorb collagen at varying rates, but treatments generally last 3 to 6 months.
