Collagen Injections Procedure


As we grow older our face become more and more affected by the sun, gravity and use of expression muscles (chewing, smiling, etc). Deep tissues loose the ability to maintain a young look and expression marks appear on our faces. Collagen injections can help you fill the defects and regain younger appearance. It can be used to fill expression folds, sunken checks, scars and lips. This procedure is not sufficient to treat deep defects like multiple grooves around the mouse of heavy smokers. It can be done as isolated treatment or as a combination with laser, facelift and botox.

Collagen is a natural protein which gives support to various body parts, like skin, joints, bones and tendons. The injected formula is manufactured from a purified collagen from pigs. The purification process creates a material, which is similar to human collagen. The FDA approved it at 1981 for injections at different sites like face, neck, back and chest. It comes with different viscosity levels according to specific sites and the difference between the patients. The preparation already consists of analgesics; therefore there is no need for sedation. Especially sensitive patients can be treated with superficial spays to minimize the pain.

Before the treatment you must check allergy to collagen (it takes 3-4 weeks between the test and the injection). During the treatment collagen is being injected using a small needle along the wanted site. During the injections you may feel a burning sensation for a few minutes. Some of the formula consists of salt water, which gradually absorbs, therefore, at first, the site may look swollen. After the treatment it might be small hemorrhages or redness that usually disappear after 24 hours. With a few patients, especially those with bright skin color, the redness may last for a week. Every procedure has its ricks, those depend on patients anatomy, the healing processes and different physiologic responses. Most common complication is allergy to collagen. Others include infections, peeling of the skin, wounds and scaring. Those are relatively rare.

There is no need to bandage the site, and there are no limitations regarding food, drinking, make-up or sun exposure.

You must remember that the effect of the injection is only temporary. Due to their biological nature the injected materials disassemble by the body. The duration of the effect depends on genetics, age, skin quality, life style and the area being filled.

Planing on having collagen injections procedure in Portugal?
Here is some General Information about Portugal:

Portugal By car

Roads are generally good, and you can reach almost all major cities with ease, either by motorway or by good, modern roads. The biggest cities are well served by modern highways (most have tolls), and you can travel the full North-South length of the country without ever leaving the highway, if you choose to. However, some secondary roads are ill-treated and may be dangerous if proper care is not taken. Also, Portuguese driving can seem erratic and, frankly, scary to the uninitiated. The country shares with most southern european countries something that the successive Portuguese governments have been trying to fight: terrible road behaviour from some drivers. This is getting a little better year by year, but still, there are many drivers whose dream is to own a Ferrari, but all they actually have is a Renault Clio or a Ford Fiesta, or that think that they can drink and drive without any kind of problem. In order to fight this national calamity, road laws changed recently in order to punish with great severity speeding, driving without license, driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics, etc.

Portugal collagen injections - News update:
BBC news reports that the manufacturers of Gaviscon (Reckitt Benkiser) maintained an effective monopoly on the market for years after Gaviscon came off patent. An investigation for the BBC’s Newsnight programme has found that executives at the company prevented other manufacturers from selling generic versions of Gaviscon by creating obstacles. According to BBC news, a generic name should have been published in 2000, the company objected to this and did so again in 2003, 2005 and 2006. In each case it quoted health and patient safety as the reason for its objections but internal documents accessed by BBC Newsnight give a different story. A former senior executive said Reckitt had "cheated the NHS" and could have saved it "millions of pounds". A competition lawyer has told the programme that some of the emails and business plans he had examined raised the question of whether Reckitt had been in breach of competition law. The BBC news report notes, “Nine years after its patent elapsed, Gaviscon still has 88% of the market for alginic acid compounds in the National Health Service and there is still no generic name. Generic copies of Gaviscon could have saved around £40m from the drugs budget since 1999.” The report also adds that Parliament's health select committee is expected to investigate the Gaviscon case. The company has told Newsnight that it had never objected to a generic name being published, "the timetable of which is not within our control". The company did say that it would be taking action in relation to some of the internal correspondence from 2003, discovered by the Newsnight investigation. The Newsnight programme will be broadcast at 10.30pm on Friday 7th March on BBC Two. More...
