Dermalogen Treatments
Dermalogen is
a human tissue implant that is administered by injection to treat
lines and wrinkles. Dermalogen has two major advantages over standard
bovine (cow-derived) collagen. First, no allergy testing is necessary
before Dermalogen treatment. Second, Dermalogen causes ingrowth
of your own collagen in treated areas; thus, after a series of
treatments, the filling effects are long lasting, unlike standard
bovine collagen. Dermalogen
is harvested from human tissue, and is specially treated to remove
all cell membranes and any infectious agents. It is primarily
used to treat lines around the eyes ("crow's feet"),
on the forehead (horizontal lines or vertical frown lines), smile
lines, lines around the lips, and for enhancing the lip border.
Dermalogen may be used in conjunction with Botox therapy for maximal
effects in certain areas, especially in the upper face.Dermalogen
is typically administered in three treatment sessions over the
course of 6 to 8 weeks. |
