Drawing upon the latest breakthroughs in skin science, CosmoDermT and CosmoPlastT contain human collagen grown under controlled laboratory conditions. This natural human collagen is similar to the collagen normally found in the skin, so there's no need for a pre-treatment skin test. Which means CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast offer patients the convenience of Collagen Replacement Therapy in just one visit.

  Collagen is a natural supporting structure in the skin. Wrinkles occur when natural collagen begins to thin and deplete.  Many environmental factors can play a part in this process, but simple aging may be the most common factor behind collagen depletion.  If lacking enough collagen, lines and wrinkles form wherever the skin moves.

Zyderm & Zyplast Injectable Collagen

  Introduced 18 years ago, ZydermŪ and ZyplastŪ injectable collagen implants have set the standard in filler materials for smoothing facial lines, wrinkles and scars and in providing lip border definition. Treatments supplement the skin's natural collagen, require minimal procedure time, and provide immediate results. Today, more than one million people worldwide have been treated with ZydermŪ or ZyplastŪ collagen implants.

How Does Collagen Work?

  Collagen Replacement Therapy replenishes the skin's collagen layer, which results in smoothing of lines and wrinkles.  This therapy also can add definition and correction to lip borders and wrinkles, and can improve the appearance of scars.  The results are immediate, last several months, and you can apply your make up and go about your business immediately.  There is no recovery time.

Is Collagen Safe?

  Collagen Replacement Therapy has been proven very safe over the past 25 years.  Collagen, a natural product, is normally injected just under the skin.  The body eventually safely absorbs the injected collagen, and if treatments are discontinued, your body's natural contours will return.

  Collagen replacement therapy and BOTOX® are a powerful combination! Collagen and BOTOX® are very complimentary procedures. BOTOX® softens or eliminates dynamic wrinkles and collagen replaces the thin supporting structure in aging skin.  Both procedures are quick and have no recovery time.  We can even fit it into your lunch schedule.
