Old age causes wrinkles but wrinkles are also caused by damage caused by the sun and pollution. Human collagen can be injected into your face just under the area where the wrinkles are to help reduce the appearance of these fine lines.

CosmoDerm™ collagen injections may be a good option for you if you have crow's feet around the eyes or are seeing small vertical lines above the upper lip.
 
CosmoPlast™ is another collagen treatment option if you have deep wrinkles between brows or smile lines around mouth.  It can also help fix severe acne scars.
 
CosmoDerm™ and CosmoPlast™ are basically human collagen injections that are injected beneath the skin in areas where the filler is needed. There is little or no discomfort because the injection contains lidocaine that will numb the skin. CosmoDerm™ and CosmoPlast™ don't crate any redness or swelling and so patients can immediately return to their day to day activities. CosmoDerm™ and CosmoPlast™ effects last up to six months.

The benefits of using CosmoDerm™ and CosmoPlast™ are that they are both created from purified human collagen. This means that patients don't have to wait for a skin allergy test. Patients can also combine CosmoDerm™ and CosmoPlast™ with other facial procedures such as Botox.

There are no real side effects of using CosmoDerm™ and CosmoPlast™ but it is important that patients consult with a board certified cosmetic surgeon who can discuss all the benefits and risks of using CosmoDerm™ and CosmoPlast™.
 
CosmoDerm™ and CosmoPlast™  are great alternatives to plastic surgery. So if you aren't ready for a face lift or an eyebrow lift, you may wish to check out CosmoDerm™ and CosmoPlast™.

A recent issue of the Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery included a new technique that was recently tried. Apparently two doctors used neck muscles instead of collagen implants to make fuller lips. The way it works is that a graft of the muscle in your neck that runs along the side is implanted into the patients lips. After two-years, researchers were able to see an increase of lip vermillion of between 20-24 percent. And they saw a 0.9 mm increase in the lip projection.

The advantages are that this is a more natural looking option and it does eliminate the need for artificial implants. But it also is supposed to reduce the signs of aging and is fairly easy to recover from which is a big plus.

So, obviously clinical trials and more data is required but if this were to be approved, no more collagen to make your lips look fuller!
