Sometimes used collagen taken directly from the patient's skin - autologen sometimes -donorsky, created on its basis medication CosmoDerm (for shallow wrinkles) and CosmoPlast (for deep). Injectable collagen compensates for lost by the skin to age your own protein, filling and smoothing wrinkles. In recent years, collagen is used less often because of the fairly frequent allergic reactions.

Where you can do cosmetic injections?
Only in clinics - there are experienced doctors, not just beauticians in beauty salons. After all, the risk of complications directly depends on the skill of the doctor.

I advise you to discuss this issue with your doctor.

Doctors say that in their experience of such cases were observed.
