Collagen Injections in San Diego
Personal Attention & Specialized Care
Collagen is a crucial supportive protein in the connective tissues that maintain the skin’s youthful appearance. As we age, this collagen breaks down, causing unwanted facial lines and wrinkles. Collagen injections can be used to counteract this effect and minimize the appearance of facial aging.
Collagen can also be injected into the lips for a fuller effect. After receiving collagen injections, your face will have a smoother, more youthful appearance.
You may not be a good candidate for collagen injections if you are currently pregnant or nursing. In addition, those with bovine or lidocaine allergies may not be able to use collagen injections. Lidocaine is sometimes included in injections, which can be be derived from bovine sources.
