CosmoDerm™
CosmoDerm™
and CosmoPlast™
are dermal filler substances made of collagen, the main building
material of the skin. These skin filler substances have FDA approval
for their cosmetic application. CosmoDerm™
and CosmoPlast™
are made of human collagen that has been biogenetically engineered
in the laboratory.
What areas can be treated?
CosmoDerm™
is used to correct fine lines, wrinkles, lips and shallow scars in
thin-skinned areas. CosmoPlast™
is used to fill in deep lines, furrows, lips and scars.
What are these products?
Both of these products are highly purified,
human-based collagen that is grown under controlled laboratory
conditions and is similar to collagen normally found in the skin.
How will I look after the treatment?
Wrinkles and folds are immediately improved but there may
be some swelling for a few hours and a bruise that may last a few
days. Lips usually become swollen for up to 2 days and may bruise.
When will I need a touch-up treatment? These
products usually last 4 to 6 months, but most patients enjoy their
enhanced appearance and have touch-up treatments every 6 months or
so as needed.
