Collagen Injections

Collagen, a natural protein in the body, is found in the connective tissue which supports the skin, bones, cartilage and blood vessels. As we age, collagen breaks down, leading to wrinkles, fine lines and folds in the skin. Collagen injections help to replenish your skin’s natural collagen.

Collagen injections are typically done right in the doctor’s office, and are usually performed without anesthesia. However, the collagen filler itself may contain a local anesthetic called lidocaine. The collagen is injected into the skin depressions in your chosen area of treatment, and several injections may be required, depending on the length and depth of the fold or wrinkle.
