Collagen is a natural protein that helps give the skin its shape, smoothness, and resilience. As a person ages, however, their collagen levels will diminish, leading to the onset of wrinkles and creases. Fortunately, there is a way to temporarily counteract this process and restore a youthful fullness to your skin. Collagen, known by the brand names Zyderm and Zyblast, is available as an injectable filler, providing a safe and easy means of smoothing over facial lines, bringing greater definition to the border of the lips.
Collagen injections are done in small doses and administered directly beneath the target areas of the skin. Results are instantly noticeable and can last for months. Further treatments are required to maintain results, but there are no harmful consequences to discontinuing treatment, either, as the collagen will safely and gradually absorbed into the body.
Zyderm is typically used for more delicate lines around the eyes and lips, while Zyplast is designed to tackle deeper wrinkles, scars, and the corners of the mouth. Known most famously as a great way to enhance the appearance of the lips (otherwise known as lip augmentation), collagen injections remain a popular, practical method for regaining your skin's elasticity and resilience.
