Collagen has been mainly used in cosmetic procedures and as skin substitutes for burn patients. Collagen is a natural substance that is found in skin, muscle, tendons and bones and provides structural support. Collagen injections and treatment are safe, non-surgical procedures that softens lines and furrows on the face. A collagent injection can last anywhere between one to six months, although in some people one injection of collagent may be sufficient for up to two years. Your surgeon or specialist may suggest combining collagen injections with other cosmetic procedures to achieve the best possible results.
