Collagen Injections

Collagen, also known as Zyderm or Zyplast, is an injectable filler used to fill in fine lines and wrinkles and to improve the appearance of the lips and the skin around the eyes. One of the appeals of collagen is that it's a substance naturally produced by the human body, so it is easily accepted and absorbed into the patient's system. Regular collagen injections can help the patient project a smoother, more youthful facial appearance, or they can serve as a means of non-surgical lip augmentation.
