Collagen Builders

These treatments refer to the correction of facial wrinkles by the infection of a variety of materials into the skin or underneath the skin to smooth out lines by plumping up the surface of the skin or by adding volume back to the areas that have lost it, thereby improving facial contours and fullness. Many different corrective materials may be used and their number increases every year.

Prior to a filler treatment, you should avoid aspirin, nonsteriodal antiflammatory medications, St. John's Wort, or high doses of vitamin E as it may increase bruising. If you have a history of cold sores the doctor will prescribe a preventive medication to avoid an outbreak.
