Collagen is one of the most well-renowned and tried and tested dermal fillers, having been used for cosmetic treatment since 1976. |
Collagen replacement therapy is completely different from using cosmetics or moisturisers which only work on the surface. It actually works from within the skin giving immediate results.
Collagen, a naturally occurring protein found in both humans and animals, provides structural support for bones, skin, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels and is the most abundant protein in the body.
When a person smiles, frowns, or squints, stress is placed on the collagen in the skin, wearing it down and resulting in the formation of facial lines and wrinkles. |
Zyderm and Zyplast collagen implants, also known as Collagen Replacement Therapy, are safe, non-surgical treatments in which highly purified bovine collagen is injected into the skin to replenish the skin's natural collagen. |
 |
Zyderm and Zyplast collagen injections refill the depressions beneath lines and wrinkles, restoring a youthful appearance to the skin.
Collagen is injected through a tiny needle just below the surface of the skin to smooth wrinkles or define the lip border. Fine to deep wrinkles, frown lines, smile lines, crow's feet, lip border, acne and other scars all respond to treatment, which lasts from 3-6 months. |

Collagen treatment shows immediate visible results, requires minimal recovery and is relatively painless. Zyderm and Zyplast contain small amounts of the numbing agent Lydocaine to ensure your comfort.
Zyderm and Zyplast bovine based collagen has been the preferred source for injectable collagen since 1981. Over 1.5 million patients have been treated with Zyderm and Zyplast collagen implants worldwide.

| A skin test must be administered 4 weeks prior to treatment to screen for a pre-existing allergy to collagen. |
