<strong>Skin and wrinkles- </strong>

As skin ages and also with the effect of sun damage our dermal layer
that contains collagen and elastin fibers that support the upper skin
layer, lose lot of collagen. As the collagen is lost, wrinkles form and
cannot be repaired unless the collagen is brought back. This is done by
collagen implants or collagen injections. This is a very simple
procedure and will give your skin a young look again. Let us find out
more about skin and collagen implants.

<strong>Types of collagen for skin implants -</strong>

You have a choice of human collagen or bovine collagen. The body of
most of the people accepts both these types. Your surgeon will decide
upon the choice of collagen that has to be used for you.

<strong>Collagen skin injection procedure-</strong>

In this procedure the doctor will first discuss with you about the
types of wrinkles that can be removed with collagen injections. Once
both of you decide about the wrinkles, collagen will be injected below
the skin near the wrinkle with a fine needle. It is not a very painful
procedure. You may feel some swelling for a day or two.

<strong>Collagen implants in skin and repetition of procedure-</strong>

As collagen is a protein, the body will slowly absorb it. You may need
another injection after some months. This also depends upon the
location of the wrinkles. Areas that you use very often may need
injection earlier than those you don't use so often. For example, all
your face area near your mouth is most used as you speak. That portion
may need an injection sooner than other areas. Collagen injections are
one of the easiest ways to remove wrinkles and get a young looking face
again.

Collagen is one of the key building blocks of the skin. They are made of so-called Fibroblasts skin from molecules called procollagen. Procollagen converted to collagen. This production is regulated by various proteins (TGF-b, AP-1). When skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays formed called reactive oxygen molecules and free radicals. These causes oxidative damage to skin cells and genetic material. The sunlight also stimulates the formation of enzymes (so-called MMP: metalloproteinases) that break down collagen and increases signal molecule AP-1, which increases the degradation of collagen. In sum, chronic sun exposure accelerate aging process through several different mechanisms.
