Our faces get wrinkled and lined when the natural collagen in our skin starts to deteriorate. Ageing, sun exposure, illness, injury, hereditary factors, and way of life all contribute to this process. It is the most prevalent natural protein in humans and animals and supports the structural integrity of the skin, muscles, tendons, and bones. Collagen fibres are braided together to provide a framework that promotes the development of new cells. By injecting very pure bovine (cow) collagen into the skin, collagen replacement treatment restores deficient collagen safely in a non-surgical manner. Your body will quickly recognise this collagen as its own since it resembles human collagen so much.
A collagen replacement therapy can:
Enhance the lip border and lip’s fullness
Smooth facial lines such as frown lines and smile lines
Plump up sunken areas
Fill out wrinkles and scars
Preparation
You will first schedule a visit with a facial plastic surgeon if you consider collagen replacement treatment. Please bring data about your medical records and any drugs, vitamins, or nutritional supplements you take or have ever taken to your first appointment.
Your surgeon will examine your overall health before asking you to identify the skin conditions you want to address. Then, after thoroughly reviewing your skin, they will decide which collagen replacement treatment would work best for you. Therapy is not advised if you have specific medical issues or lines and scars.
Your surgeon during collagen replacement therapy in Hebbal, Bangalore will also do a "skin test" during the consultation to ensure you are not allergic to collagen by injecting a small quantity of the substance into your forearm. You must undergo two skin tests within a month(two weeks apart).
Make sure to discuss your concerns and expectations for the procedure with your physician and any questions you may have. Additionally, you will be given specific instructions on how to be ready for your surgery.
Procedure
It takes 30 to 60 minutes to complete collagen replacement treatment. You may resume your regular activities right away following the reasonably painless operation.
During the surgery, your surgeon will inject collagen into the desired places using a tiny needle. A local anaesthetic combines collagen to numb the treated region and lessen pain or discomfort. Several injections can be necessary based on the length and intensity of the wrinkles that need to be treated.
The puncturing might cause the skin to become pink.
The new skin takes around six to eight weeks to appear and starts to be noticeable. To get the best results, it often takes three to four sessions.
Recovery
You can feel some slight, transient bruising after collagen injections. Call your surgeon if you notice any strange symptoms in between treatments or if you have any other questions or concerns.
Follow-Up
While it's crucial to remember that these advantages are temporary, the results are instantly noticeable. The collagen you obtain via injections will start to deteriorate like the collagen found naturally in your skin. You must have touch-up injections 3 to 6 months after your first treatment and get treatments every 3 to 6 months to keep your skin looking better.Consult with a team of experts in Hebbal at Manipal Hospitals to know more about treatments.
