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
collagen 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® and Zyplast® collagen implants produces an immediate
visible difference in the appearance of your skin.

What can I expect from my treatment?
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 healing time varies, most people have the procedure
and return to work that same day. The results of treatment usually
last from 2 to 9 months. Just like natural collagen, injectable collagen
eventually breaks down, so ongoing treatments are necessary to maintain
the results you desire. If treatments with Zyderm® and Zyplast®
implants are discontinued altogether, the injected collagen is simply
reabsorbed by your body over time, and your face gradually returns to
its natural contours.
You and your doctor will customize a treatment program
to meet your individual need. Not matter which treatment option you choose,
be sure you receive the amount of collagen necessary to achieve the
look that's right for you.
