Collagen Injections Procedure


As we grow older our face become more and more affected by the sun, gravity and use of expression muscles (chewing, smiling, etc). Deep tissues loose the ability to maintain a young look and expression marks appear on our faces. Collagen injections can help you fill the defects and regain younger appearance. It can be used to fill expression folds, sunken checks, scars and lips. This procedure is not sufficient to treat deep defects like multiple grooves around the mouse of heavy smokers. It can be done as isolated treatment or as a combination with laser, facelift and botox.

Collagen is a natural protein which gives support to various body parts, like skin, joints, bones and tendons. The injected formula is manufactured from a purified collagen from pigs. The purification process creates a material, which is similar to human collagen. The FDA approved it at 1981 for injections at different sites like face, neck, back and chest. It comes with different viscosity levels according to specific sites and the difference between the patients. The preparation already consists of analgesics; therefore there is no need for sedation. Especially sensitive patients can be treated with superficial spays to minimize the pain.

Before the treatment you must check allergy to collagen (it takes 3-4 weeks between the test and the injection). During the treatment collagen is being injected using a small needle along the wanted site. During the injections you may feel a burning sensation for a few minutes. Some of the formula consists of salt water, which gradually absorbs, therefore, at first, the site may look swollen. After the treatment it might be small hemorrhages or redness that usually disappear after 24 hours. With a few patients, especially those with bright skin color, the redness may last for a week. Every procedure has its ricks, those depend on patients anatomy, the healing processes and different physiologic responses. Most common complication is allergy to collagen. Others include infections, peeling of the skin, wounds and scaring. Those are relatively rare.

There is no need to bandage the site, and there are no limitations regarding food, drinking, make-up or sun exposure.

You must remember that the effect of the injection is only temporary. Due to their biological nature the injected materials disassemble by the body. The duration of the effect depends on genetics, age, skin quality, life style and the area being filled.

  • Alaska By boat

    The Alaska Marine Highway System [2] operates a ferry service from Bellingham, Washington up the beautiful Inside Passage to Haines. Plan your travel early as this service tends to fill up fast. A connecting ferry can take you to Whittier, from which the Alaska Railroad [3] connects to Anchorage. Some private companies operate shuttle vans between Whittier and Anchorage [4] as well.

    Various cruise lines sail up the Inside Passage as well, typically ending in Seward or Whittier (they usually provide transportation to Anchorage and may even include tours or your return air travel out of the state).


  • Alaska History

    In 1867, the territory of Alaska was purchased from the Russians for $7.2 million. It took until 1959 for the territory to become a State of the Union.

Plastic Surgery News...

  • The National Prescribing Centre has produced a “blog” discussing a recently published study which concluded that calcium supplementation increases the risk of adverse cardiovascular events in healthy older women, contrary to previous evidence (British Medical Journal, published early online on 15 January 2008). The blog discusses the results of the study, and concludes that “calcium supplementation alone should not generally be prescribed to postmenopausal women for fracture prevention. Clinicians should weigh up the pros and cons of calcium and vitamin D supplementation on an individual basis, taking into account the patient’s risk of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis”.
  • St. Jude Medical, Inc. (NYSE:STJ) announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European CE Mark approval of the QuickFlex(TM) family of left-heart leads to treat heart failure patients. The QuickFlex leads, used in CRT (cardiac resynchronization therapy), feature shorter tip and ring electrodes (used to conduct energy), reducing the length of the lead's rigid portions.
