About Collagen Replacement Therapy

Collagen is an insoluble protein fiber that is the primary constituent in connective tissue (skin and tendons) and bones. As you age, the amount of collagen in your skin decreases and this leads to saggy skin and deep links, all positive signs of aging. Collagen Replacement Therapy is designed to reverse the effects of aging by injecting collagen into your skin to top up the natural levels already provided by your body.

Collagen has been used for more than 23 years to succesfully fill lines around the eyes, forehead and mouth/nose. It is also used in the process of Lip Enhancement to plump up the lips.

The treatment lasts 10 to 35 minutes and is relatively painless as topical anaesthetic is used to numb the area injected. Once injected, the collagen will work exactly like your own and this does mean it will break down over time, visible effects usually last 9 to 12 months depending on the person.
