Collagen injection procedure performance

Added: 04/13/2006

Collagen is a kind of protein that is one of the human's body ingredients. Today this natural material has been applied in different fields of science and consumer sphere. The collagen is structured from three chains of helix and serves perfectly as connective tissue. Collagen injection procedure is getting its popularity at the moment. Although the effect has no long duration it works perfectly as wrinkle reduction.

A large part of our body ingredients is represented by protein that in its turn contains big quantity of collagen. It is a very important structural material that forms molecular cables supporting skin and all organs. Human bones and teeth contain collagen in its combination with mineral crystals. Research reviews about collagen inform that one of the main functions of collagen is structuring body as connective tissue. It provides support and protection of the body soft tissues and their connection with the skeleton. It is interesting that indeed collagen is a very simple protein comparing with other proteins that in spite of their complexity do not play such an important role in organism functioning. Collagen is present in different body's parts in different variants (there are 11 types of this material). Recently the humanity started desperate struggle against the problem of aging thanks to new technologies provided by the research of last centuries. Age itself, sun exposure, environment, long time of movement of facial muscles and great deal of pernicious habits (smoking, drinking, exhausting work) influence human's skin condition resulting in deep wrinkles and facial lines, sagging, puffy eyelids and droopy brows. Today, it is discovered that all these facial creases and lines, scars and furrows can be corrected during a collagen injection procedure that provides temporal renovation of skin, making it smooth and restoring its young appearance. Also this material can be used for lips and cheeks fullness. Collagen has found its application during the facelift procedures, laser treatment, chemical peel and dermabrasion but sure first of all in collagen injection procedure. Collagen main purpose is to improve skin texture, correct wrinkles and as a result appearance. But the potential client should understand that unfortunately collagen injection procedure effect is temporal. As after collagen injection procedure material-filler (collagen) is metabolized, so from the point of effect collagen injection procedure is not so long-lasting as cosmetic surgery. However, it provides unique possibilities of soft-tissue augmentation and is not less effective in wrinkle correction. The effect depends on individual conditions: the result can be obvious from 2-3 weeks to 2-3 years. The role of 'effect keeper' belongs to such previous circumstances as skin type and quality, patient's lifestyle, genetic facts and age. The mechanism of action of collagen injection procedure is similar to fat injection procedure so if the client had not successful experience during fat injection the result of collagen injection procedure would be probably not much better. There is also substantial proportion of risk likelihood during this kind of treatment. The first possible risk is allergy that can be previewed but not always successfully. Infections, open sore, some kinds of skin peeling abscesses, lumpiness, etc. are still evident to this technique. Moreover, unfortunately risk factor information is still not available to all patients today.
