Collagen injections fill in unwanted lines and wrinkles and add definition to the lip border. Fillers such as collagen (i.e. Zyderm, Zyplast), human collagen (Cosmoplast), silicon, and fillers (Restylane and Perlane) are injected just below the surface of the skin for immediate results. Treatment results typically last up to six months, depending on the area being treated. Without ongoing injections, the filler is gradually absorbed by the body and your face returns to its original contours.

Dermal fillers can fill in the worry lines on your forehead and the frown lines between your eyebrows. Filler injections also smooth the crow’s feet and fine lines around your eyes.

With these fillers, Dr. Kovak can minimize or eliminate the lines that appear between your nose and mouth when you smile. These areas are sometimes referred to as nasolabial folds, marionette lines, or oral commissures. Fillers can also be used for lip injections, adding definition to your lip border and filling in those annoying vertical lip lines.

Sometimes, no matter how youthful you feel, your face tells a different story. Sunlight, natural aging and lifestyle factors can diminish the collagen layer that supports the skin. Where collagen diminishes, unwelcome lines and wrinkles may appear. Schedule a free consultation today to learn more about the youthful benefits of collagen injections.

Dr. Kovak is a leading cosmetic physician in Chicago. For over a decade, he has been helping patients across the country look and feel younger.
