Collagen Replacement Treatments

Unison Pro-Youth offers Treatment with CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast

From the inamed.com web site:

"Sometimes, no matter how youthful you feel, your face tells a different story. Sunlight, natural aging and lifestyle factors can diminish the collagen layer that supports the skin. And where collagen diminishes, unwelcome lines and wrinkles may appear.

Now, for the first time ever, you can replace collagen through innovative new treatments made from natural human collagen. They're called CosmoDerm™ and CosmoPlast™, and they're changing the face of beauty.

Before	After

Drawing upon the latest breakthroughs in skin science, CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast contain natural human collagen grown under controlled laboratory conditions. This natural human collagen is similar to the collagen normally found in the skin. So there's no need for a pre-treatment skin test.

And here's the best part. No more skin testing means no more weeks of waiting for the results. Instead, you can smooth away telltale lines and wrinkles or add definition to the lip border with just one quick visit to your physician. And since recovery time is short, you can easily sneak in a treatment during your lunch hour."

How are the procedures done?

Collagen injections are sometimes referred to as a "lunchtime" procedure. They are performed on an out-patient basis and usually take less than twenty minutes of your time. Collagen injections are relatively painless,because collagen contains a local anesthetic. It is injected under your skin, beneath the wrinkle, through tiny needles. Several injections may be required, depending on the depth and length of the wrinkle.

What can I expect after my collagen treatments?

Following collagen treatments, normal activities can be resumed immediately. Discomfort is minimal. The treatment site may have a little swelling, which may last a few hours. There may be some slight bruising which can be covered with make-up. Depending on the area treated, correction usually lasts from three to six months. Allergic reactions are rare, but may consist of prolonged redness, itching, and/or firmness at the injection site.
