CosmoDerm™ and CosmoPlast™


Before	After	Before	After

Baby boomers are reaching their 50’s. They are more concerned than ever with maintaining a youthful appearance.

Until now, the only way to make that vision a reality was with bovine (cow) collagen injections, which can cause allergic reactions, or synthetic fillers that feel unnatural. Now, your doctor can provide a safe, natural alternative to synthetic and bovine tissue fillers with CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast.

What are CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast?

CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast are the first FDA approved human collagen fillers commercially available. They are purified from human dermal cells and manufactured in the strictest controlled environment. These natural products are for the treatment of wrinkles, acne scars, other soft-tissue contour deficiencies as well as for lip enhancement.

Unlike other collagen replacement products, CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast do not require a pretreatment skin test.

By supplementing your skin’s own collagen with CosmoDerm and/or CosmoPlast collagen, your doctor can smooth out wrinkles and most scars. Your doctor can also improve the appearance of deeper frown lines and nasal furrows. Collagen injections are a safe, effective, time-tested, non-surgical wrinkle treatment that provides immediate results.

Which areas respond best to CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast Treatments?

The ten areas most frequently treated with collagen are: frown lines between the eyes, acne scars, cheek depressions, smoker’s lines around the mouth, Marionette lines at the ends of the mouth, worry lines in the forehead, Crow’s feet at the eyes, deep smile lines, dimples, and facial scars.

How are CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast Treatments performed?

Treatments take place in your doctor's office. CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast treatments usually take less than twenty minutes of your time. The CosmoDerm and/or CosmoPlast collagen is injected through a tiny needle under your skin, beneath the wrinkle, into your own collagen. Several injections may be required, depending on the depth and length of the wrinkle. Because it contains a small amount of lidocaine, patients experience minimal discomfort.

How many treatments will I need?

Dermal defects are typically treated in two or three treatments over a three month period with correction for some defects lasting up to two years. Since aging is a continuing process, treatments for age-related wrinkles will be an ongoing process. Most patients come in three to four times a year for touch-ups.
