Collagen is one of the most common proteins in our body and plays an important role in maintaining the skin's youthful, healthy, and radiant appearance. Collagen, the building block of the skin, decreases with age and due to environmental factors. This reduction leads to the appearance of signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging.
Collagen injections are an effective method that helps reduce these signs by replenishing the collagen lost by the skin, making the skin appear younger.
Collagen injections are a suitable option for anyone who wants to prevent or reduce the signs of aging starting from their 20s. Collagen is the most abundant and strongest protein in the human body, and it is crucial for skin health and quality. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles, dryness, and loss of elasticity in the skin. Collagen injections are an effective treatment method, especially for individuals who experience loss of skin elasticity, fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. People who want to reduce skin discoloration and spot formation can also benefit from collagen injections.
Although collagen injections are generally safe, they may not be suitable for everyone. Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, individuals with autoimmune diseases, or those who are allergic to collagen should avoid this treatment. It is important to consult your doctor about your medical conditions to assess your suitability before getting collagen injections.
The collagen injection procedure is quite simple and comfortable. Before the procedure, a local anesthetic cream is applied to the area to be treated to numb it. This ensures that only minimal pain and discomfort are felt during the procedure. After applying the cream, the numbing effect lasts for about 10-15 minutes. Then, the pre-prepared collagen is injected into the deeper layers of the skin using fine needles.
After collagen injections, mild bruising, redness, or swelling may occur at the treated area. These effects typically subside on their own within a few days. The full effect of the treatment, including improved skin tightness, brightness, and vitality, thickening of loose skin, and filling of fine lines, is achieved within 4 weeks after the treatment is completed. For maintaining the skin’s vitality, reminder sessions every 3-6 months help prolong the effects of the treatment on the skin. You can return to normal activities immediately after the procedure, but it is recommended to avoid excessive sun exposure.
Collagen injections are generally a safe procedure, but some people may experience mild side effects. These can include swelling, redness, itching, and bruising at the injection site. In rare cases, complications such as infection or allergic reactions may occur.
There are some important points to consider before and after collagen injections:
- The use of medications that affect blood clotting, such as aspirin or blood thinners, should be discontinued before the procedure after consulting with your doctor.
- If there is any infection or skin condition in the treatment area, it should be reported to your doctor before the procedure.
- After the procedure, you should avoid touching, rubbing, or applying makeup to the treated area.
- It is recommended to avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning beds.
