Facial lines and wrinkles are caused by the wearing down of the natural collagen support layer that lies just beneath your skin. Collagen replacement therapy (CRT) is a safe nonsurgical treatment that smooths our facial lines, wrinkles and scars by replenishing the natural collagen support layer beneath your skin. The results may be seen immediately. Collagen is derived from highly purified bovine collagen that is injected just under the surface of the skin. Like your own collagen, your body eventually absorbs this collagen, so ongoing treatments are necessary to maintain results. Treatments generally last three to six months. If you discontinue treatments, the new collagen is simply reabsorbed, and your face gradually returns to its natural contours.

If you are wondering how CRT could improve your appearance, please make an appointment to meet with Dr. Kim. He will discuss collagen and various other options for facial rejuvenation with you.
