Facial lines and wrinkles are caused
by the wearing down of the natural collagen support layer
that lies just beneath your skin. Collagen replacement
therapy (CRT) is a safe nonsurgical treatment that smooths
our facial lines, wrinkles and scars by replenishing
the natural collagen support layer beneath your skin.
The results may be seen immediately. Collagen is derived
from highly purified bovine collagen that is injected
just under the surface of the skin. Like your own collagen,
your body eventually absorbs this collagen, so ongoing
treatments are necessary to maintain results. Treatments
generally last three to six months. If you discontinue
treatments, the new collagen is simply reabsorbed, and
your face gradually returns to its natural contours.
If you are wondering how CRT could
improve your appearance, please make an appointment to
meet with Dr. Smith. He will discuss collagen and various
other options for facial rejuvenation with you.
