Collagen Replacement Therapy
About Collagen Replacement Treatment
Collagen is actually part of the natural support
structure of your skin. Wrinkles form when this natural collagen
thins. This loss is mostly a factor of aging, but exposure,
pollution, health, heredity and lifestyle also play roles. Without
enough collagen, wrinkles and lines start to form wherever the
skin moves. Collagen Replacement therapy (using Zyderm and Zyplast
collagen implants), replenishes the skin's collagen layer, smoothing
lines and wrinkles, and adding definition to lip borders from
the inside out. And results are immediate.

Collagen Replacement Therapy has been proven safe
and effective for well over 15 years. Zyderm and Zyplast collagen
implants are natural products derived from highly purified bovine
collagen that is injected just under the surface of the skin.
Like your own collagen, your body eventually absorbs this collagen
so ongoing treatments are necessary to maintain results. If
you discontinue treatments, the new collagen is simply reabsorbed
and your face gradually returns to its natural contours. |

While healing time varies, many people return to work the same
day. People absorb collagen at varying rates, but treatments
generally last 3 to 6 months.
Working with Dr. Haddock, you can tailor a treatment
program to meet your individual needs and to achieve the look
you want.
