Because collagen production decreases naturally as we age, lines, creases, wrinkles and folds form to become visible where we least want them – the face.  CosmoPlast^® is one of the injectable fillers from the collagen family.  Injected into and around the lips, it can instantly restore shape and fullness and create a new, defined border to the lips.

Collagen is a natural protein that provides structural support throughout the body – from the skin and muscle to the tendons and bones.  Collagen fibers are woven together like threads in fabric to form a framework on which other types of cells can grow.  In the skin, collagen is responsible for texture, resiliency and shape.  Our bodies constantly produce collagen, but as we age collagen breaks down faster than it can be replaced.  CosmoPlast is formulated with anesthetic incorporated with it to provide comfort and minimize pain. 

Fine lines around the lips can add years to your visage and cause lipstick to bleed.

CosmoPlast Treatment – What to Expect
Using a tiny needle and pre-measured doses, the solution is injected into the skin in the desired area.  Treatment usually takes only a few minutes and results are visible immediately.  Bruising rarely occurs at the injection site, but it resolves in a day or two if it does occur.  Avoiding aspirin and ibuprofen will help to minimize bruising.   Because the duration of results with CosmoPlast is only two or three months - it is a good choice for those who want to try a new, rejuvenated look without the risk of having to live with it for a longer period of time.  For longer lasting results, Dr. Kaplan recommends one of the hyaluronic acid dermal fillers (Restylane®, Perlane®, JUVEDERM™).
