Injections temporarily compensate for a lack of collagen, so your skin will look smooth and elastic. This method is not only used for rejuvenation, but also as a radical method of fighting with surface scars. In addition, using collagen increase lip volume.
What is collagen?
Collagen is a natural protein, to artificially synthesize it very difficult. Today there are three main ways to obtain collagen from the skin of cows, donor collagen and collagen grown in the laboratory from cells of a particular patient. Scandals and gossip related to the fact that the collagen extracted from the skin of executed prisoners, affect, mainly, ethical and moral issues. That is, can I use the skin of people sentenced to death for the production of collagen and how unpleasant it will be to people making such injections, know that their skin is injected substance derived from the skin of dead people. Probably not much more unpleasant than to know that this substance is obtained from animal skin. The problem is, how is it ethical to skin of a deceased person, even if it was the culprit.
Despite all the rumors and scandals, collagen injections continue to be one of the most popular ways to give the skin a second youth. Why? Just the result is visible immediately after the procedure. The procedure itself is virtually painless and does not take much time, however it lasts not very long (3 to 6 months), but you can do this procedure again.
"In the UK are going to start production of unique chocolates with collagen. The company's specialists Eiwa Confectionery has created an air of sweetness, each of which contains 300 mg of collagen. The manufacturers claim that the new Goodies will be able to successfully replace collagen injections, which are used today for the correction of wrinkles and lip augmentation. Now candy tested in the authorized bodies of the European Parliament. And if all goes well, soon rejuvenating sweets will appear on the market. We already know that new items will have three fruit flavors. Sold candy will be in packs of 50 and 100 grams. But manufacturers now warn that involved them not: enough to eat 25 grams of Goodies every day".
Most clinics use for injection collagen derived from the skin of cows, which is an alien substance to the human body and can cause allergic reactions and even some serious illnesses. Therefore, "pure" it is not in use, and runs a special chemical treatment. But even in this form it can cause adverse reactions, so before injection is a special test for sensitivity to this drug. In the region of the forearm introduces a very small dose of collagen (about 0, 1 ml), in two weeks time to time introduce additional mini-dose, and only 2-4 weeks after the second injection is a test that determines the body's sensitivity to this drug. If the result is negative, it means that the body normally took someone else's collagen and started his own production. Only collagen injected into problem areas on the face.

Collagen injections can help if you want to fill in fine lines, smooth skin of the lower eyelid, to fill in the nasolabial folds and creases in the corners of the mouth, to increase the volume of the cheekbones, or to correct the shape of the chin, make lips fuller or align the relief of the skin after acne treatment (post acne). If you want to smooth out wrinkles between the eyebrows, you'd better choose another procedure, for example, Botox injections, because collagen injections in the area between the eyebrows can lead to the development of postinjection necrosis, this means that in the field of injection may occur scars, scars or skin tissue will amerteur.

Many women are afraid to go to collagen injections, use of collagen cosmetics. But not always it is effective. The fact that the collagen molecule is too large to get into the deeper layers of the skin where wrinkles form. It turns out that instead of the rejuvenating effect of collagen creams and masks to form on the skin surface film that hinders her to breathe. However, manufacturers claim that they have found a way to "push" the molecule into the skin. Well, perhaps. But it is not necessary to hold these funds high hopes. In the best case they can create on the skin surface of a thin film, which will slow the evaporation of moisture from the surface of the skin.
Some manufacturers collagen cosmetics argue that when applying the cream on the skin contained in the collagen breaks down into amino acids and peptides procollagen, which penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin, saturating it necessary "building material" for the production of the protein collagen. But equivalent alternative to collagen injections cosmetics is not. Injections at least temporarily fill wrinkles from the inside, creating the effect of swelling, due to which the skin looks smoother. Creams do not only do not fill in wrinkles, but in most cases can not stimulate the body's production of collagen, as often stated in the advertisement.
