Collagen Injection Procedure
Collagen injections, also called soft-tissue augmentation, is a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure performed to correct wrinkles, depressions in the skin, and/or scarring. The collagen injection procedure involves injecting a substance (collagen and/or fat) into the skin in order to plump or fill-up the area being treated. The result of collagen injections is usually not permanent and touch-up injections may be needed every three to 12 months. For some, however, the collagen injections can stimulate the body's own production of collagen, lengthening the time necessary between follow-up injections.
