As we age, our faces begin to show the effects of gravity, sun exposure and years of facial muscle movement, such as smiling, chewing and squinting. The underlying tissues that keep our skin looking youthful and plumped up begin to break down, often leaving laugh lines, smile lines, crow's feet or facial creases over the areas where this muscle movement occurs.
Collagen is a natural protein substance found in the human body. It helps to form our connective tissue and gives our skin it's strength. It also acts to bind water, keeping the skin hydrated. Collagen can be injected to fill these lines and give a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance.
