Los Angeles Collagen Treatments
Collagen is the main building block of your skin, and is what keeps your skin looking healthy and youthful. Over time, the collagen in the skin begins to break down, leading to the formation of lines and wrinkles on the cheeks, around the eyes, and by the mouth. At the Lisa Benest Dermatology & Laser Center, Los Angeles collagen treatments help residents of Studio City, Burbank, Sherman Oaks and other Southern California communities who are seeking a more youthful skin tone or wanting to enhance the look of their lips.
Collagen injections replace and/or supplement the body's natural collagen that has broken down over time. Our skin specialists will review your cosmetic concerns and let you know if collagen, or one of the other injectable fillers we offer such as Juvéderm® or Restylane®, is best for your skin needs.
Collagen for Studio City, Burbank and Sherman Oaks
Collagen has been safely used for decades for lip enhancement and to improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and facial depressions. Unlike topical wrinkle treatments, collagen is injected into the deeper layers of the skin where collagen depletion is causing wrinkle formation. Like your body's natural collagen, the injected collagen gradually will be reabsorbed but should last several months before retreatment is required.
Beyond Collagen: Other Wrinkle Fillers
While many people in Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley are familiar with injectable collagen to smooth out wrinkles and plump up lips, the skin care professionals at the Lisa Benest Dermatology & Laser Center offer a wide range of modern injectable fillers, which in many cases will be more appropriate for your skin needs. Very simply, the science of wrinkle treatment has advanced significantly in recent years, and our doctors and nurses are dedicated to providing patients with up-to-date skin smoothing options.
The fillers we offer, including Juvéderm, Restylane and Perlane®, contain hyaluronic acid. Once injected, hyaluronic acid attaches to the natural collagen and elastin in the skin, reinforcing these essential building blocks of smooth, healthy skin. All of these fillers are free of animal or human by-products, so you do not need to be concerned about allergic reactions.
