Unfortunately, crow’s feet and wrinkles are a fact of life. As we get older they tend to become more noticeable, and many patients are looking for effective and safe methods for removing these lines, prettying up their lips, and making their appearance what it once was, or at least better than it is now, and Cosmoplast for many is the answer.

Cosmoplast, along with Cosmoderm  are the only FDA approved and commercially available fillers that contain natural human collagen.  No pre-treatment skin test is required for Cosmoplast, making it a same day and single visit dermal filler.  The human collagen in it has been purified from dermal tissue that is grown under controlled laboratory conditions and is injected under the skin surface, filing in lines and wrinkles and can add definition to the border of the lip.  Also available for treating acne scars through a temporary leveling to make skin appear to be smooth.

Cosmoplast Injections Include Lidocain For Comfort

Cosmoplast injections are formulated with Lidocain which minimizes the discomfort felt by patients.  A numbing cream may also be applied to the injected area to relieve discomfort. The treatments are immediate and generally last three months or longer.  Eventually the collagen is absorbed by the body and the face returns to the original shape and contours.

Cosmoplast Is A Safe and Effective Treatment

Cosmoplast treatment is a safe, effective way to correct facial wrinkles, frown lines, vermillion borders and skin folds, scares and other deficiencies of the soft tissue.  The dermal fibroblast of Cosmoplast are checked for pathogens and the tissue is tested to ensure that it is free of contaminants, as well as being subjected to additional vial inactivation for extra safety.

Cosmoplast and CosmoDerm Have Similar Uses

Cosmoplast is used in the treatment of deep lines and furrows and in lip augmentation.  Its sister filler, CosmoDerm is used for fine lines including crow’s feet and the lines above the lips.  Both products are called “camera ready” which means they have a slight potential for post injection swelling, making them possibly the best choices for those who wish to avoid this minimal side effect.

Lunch Hour Treatments Are Possible

Patients frequently use both Botox and Cosmoplast during the same office visits.  There are no problems in using both and the combined results are almost always quite positive. No skin test I necessary, and through use of Cosmoplast wrinkles, lines and lip border problems go away with one physician visit.  The recovery time is short, so some patients have their treatments during the lunch hour. Cosmoplast is a hit with many physicians and with many patients.
