The time will come when they really hated stubborn lines become visible in our faces after years and years of care. 

Wrinkles become visible because they are lower or deeper than the surrounding skin. When wrinkles are brought to the same level as the surrounding skin, their visibility will diminish. This can be done by lowering the surrounding skin, or raising each wrinkle. Download the surrounding skin is possible through the shell of dermabarasion, laser or chemical re-paving, while lifting the wrinkles are injected with fillers.

In injection of collagen, the procedure is not really that difficult. Using a fine needle, your doctor may inject fillers into the skin under each wrinkle. The fillers are pushing the wrinkles making them less visible outside pressure. This procedure involves temporary discomfort associated with the needle. Once the procedure is complete, there will be no discomfort. You can usually resume their activities later.

When you have an operation in which skin is removed as, cosmetic surgery, breast lift, a double image of the belly of the blade, and the like, maybe your skin sent to a laboratory that extracts collagen, sterilized it, and what prepares to re-inyeccio’n. The amount of collagen that will be far depends on the amount of skin removed. His collagen processing liquid can be stored for 5 years if you do not need at the same time.

In just a few weeks, the laboratory will send your isolagen your doctor. A minimum of three sessions are recommended at intervals of two weeks. Because living cells are injected, the improvement may continue for many months after their last injection.

The injection of collagen Dermalog can last longer than collagen from cattle and has few problems of allergic reactions and disorders of the connective tissues. Two or three injections are necessary to reach the peak in a month or two.
