Collagen treatment is a very simple and easy way of combating old age problems of wrinkles, crow’s feet, lines and bands. It works by filling up the gaps with bovine collagen in the skin which is there because of aging.

These days millions of people go in for botox treatment and collagen therapy. Both of them produce the same results, that of rejuvenation. Botox works by making the muscles relax and almost paralyzed while collagen fills up the scars, wrinkles and lines, making the skin smoother and softer.

The doctor chooses the site for the procedure. He may choose two or three points at the place where the therapy is to be implemented. He then injects the bovine into the skin, taking care to do it in the right place. The injection may resemble an insect bite and there may be abrasions or puncture marks which are red in color.

Some people may feel slight pain or swelling but all these disappear without any medication given, unless they are very severe, in which case the doctor should be consulted. But by and large, these negative effects of collagen go away in a day or two. The treatment is over within half an hour and the patient can go home taking care not to handle the injected area roughly or to move his facial muscles too much. This is to overcome the fear of the injected collagen spreading to the other areas of the face .

The biggest problem and the negative effect of injection treatments come if the patient has an allergic reaction to the product. Doctors normally check this in advance, much before the therapy is undergone. Sometimes if the injections are given far apart, there may dent the skin as the parts where the effect of the injection has reached would be filled up and the middle part remains original. Sometimes there may be infection at the site. This can be due to bad hygiene, bad sterilization or surroundings. These are bacterial in nature and can be corrected by the use of antibiotics.

Very rarely there may be scarring at the place of the injections. These will be very slight and the chances of scaring are very remote. An abscess may be formed at the place where the injection was given. Or there may be itching or roughness but it will soon disappear and there will be nothing to worry.
