COLLAGEN
"I believe Collagen is an art and
my clients are my models."

There are several types of COLLAGEN (CRT).  The oldest and most commonly used is called Bovine Collagen.  This collagen requires a test.  A small amount of collagen is placed in the forearm to determine if there are allergies to the collagen.


The test site must be watched carefully for one month.  Protein related diseases are contraindicated with bovine collagen such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, polymyositis and dermatomyositis, therefore a test is required.  Having experienced a hypersensitivity to lidocaine is also a contraindication to the bovine collagen.  The benefits of Bovine Collagen exist because there are different consistencies:

Zyplast is thicker, placement is deeper and it can be molded.  Also it is used to outline the vermilian boarder around the lips.

Zyderm I used to fill in tiny lines under the eyes and around the eyes.  It is also used to lverlay the zyplast for a smoother look.

Zyderm II is used to correct lip lines and the deep furor between the eyes.

CYMETRA (CRT) is the human collagen and does not require testing.  The placement is below the dermis and can be layered for longer lasting effect.  It is important that two syringes be used three to four weeks apart to achieve the lasting effects.  Having experienced a hypersensitivity to lidocaine is also a contrandication to Cymetra.
