Also consider the use of your own fat!  We can harvest a small amount of your tummy fat and re-inject it into your lips or other facial lines for a beautiful contour and enhancement.  Remember, the fat is a graft and some of the fat may not last.  At least some of the fat graft should take and has the potential to be permanent. 

The advantages of fat injections are:

What causes facial lines and wrinkles?

Facial lines and wrinkles are caused by the wearing down of the natural collagen support layer that lies just beneath your skin.  External factors, such as exposure to the sun and pollution, and internal conditions, such as the body's natural aging process, also contribute to the wearing down of the collagen layer.

How do Zyderm and Zyplast collagen implants work?

Zyderm and Zyplast collagen implants replenish the skin's natural support layer, smoothing facial lines and most types of scars.  The treatment can also enhance the appearance of the lip border.  Zyderm and Zyplast collagen implants are natural substances derived from highly purified bovine (cow) collagen that are injected just beneath the skin's surface, where the body commonly accepts them as its own.   Treatment with Zyderm or Zyplast collagen implants produces an immediately visible difference in the appearance of your skin.

What can I expect from my treatment?

With Zyderm and Zyplast collagen implants, most patients notice a softening of facial lines, wrinkles, and scars, or a more defined lip border, in just one treatment session. While treatment times varies, many people have the procedure and return to work that same day.  The results of treatment usually last from 3-6 months.   Just like natural collagen, injectable collagen eventually breaks down, so ongoing treatments are necessary to maintain the results your desire. 

How affordable are treatments with Zyderm and Zyplast collagen implants?

Zyderm and Zyplast collagen treatments are as affordable as a couple of visits to the salon, a few rounds of golf, or a new outfit.  Each of these activities has the same thing in common... it helps you look better, and feel better.  Prices may vary based on the number of areas of the face treated, and the amount of collagen required. 

How do I get started?

Before treatment, a simple skin test is performed on your forearm to determine if you are sensitive to Zyderm or Zyplast collagen implants.  You will be asked to watch this area carefully over a 4-week period.  Approximately 97% of women and men tested show no reaction to the skin test and are eligible for treatment.
