What is collagen?
Collagen, a naturally occurring fibrous protein found in both
humans and animals, provides structural support for bones, skin,
tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels and is the most abundant
protein in the body.
What is
Collagen Replacement Therapy®?
Collagen Replacement Therapy, is a safe, non-surgical treatment
in which highly purified bovine collagen is injected into the
skin to replenish the skin's natural collagen.
Why would one choose Collagen Replacement Therapy?
When a person smiles, frowns, or squints, stress is placed on
the collagen in the skin, wearing it down and resulting in the
formation of facial lines and wrinkles. Collagen injections can
improve the appearance of the skin by reducing lines and
wrinkles.
