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.

Plastic Surgery News...

  • The authors of this Comment present the argument for including specific guidance on abstracts in the CONSORT statement. This provides recommendations on reporting randomised controlled trials, and has been endorsed by the editors of most of the World's major biomedical journals. The abstract of a journal article may be the only available information for many health professionals, and for conference papers they may provide the only permanent record. Nevertheless it is well known that abstracts can have deficiencies (e.g. BMJ 2006; 333: 231-4) and may not include important information. At present, the CONSORT statement has little to say on abstracts - although it encourages a structured format, this is not a formal requirement. The authors, on behalf of the CONSORT group, have therefore devised an extension to the CONSORT statement. This provides a checklist of essential items that should be included in an abstract reporting the results of a randomised controlled trial, whether for a conference or in a journal, that will fit within the usual space constraints (250-300 words). It is not intended to define the format of the abstract, as journals will have their own styles for this, but just to ensure that the most important information is included. Items included in the checklist are: details of the trial's objectives; trial design (e.g., method of allocation, blinding); participants in the trial (i.e., description, numbers randomised and analysed); interventions intended for each randomised group and their effect on primary efficacy outcomes and harms; the trial's conclusions; the trial's registration name and number; and source of funding. The authors note that extensions or adaptations to the list may be needed for other trial designs, and hope that journals and conference organisers will endorse the use of CONSORT for abstracts by modifying their statements to authors.
