• Bovine Collagen is one of the most popular Collagen Injections. It is used for reducing the appearance of wrinkles, laughter lines, and other facial imperfections. Branded bovine-based collagen fillers constitute of Zyderm, Zyplast, and Artefill. If you are planning to go for Bovine Collagen treatment, make sure that you have an allergy test, prior to the beauty treatment.
• Autologen is derived from the patient’s own skin. Autologen treatment does not require any kind of allergy testing because it is a natural collagen. Autologen is an alternative remedial treatment for Bovine Collagen. It is more commonly used for lip augmentation.
• Isolagen, like Autologen is derived from the patient’s own skin. The only difference is that instead of preparing it from skin harvesting during an operation, Isolagen is prepared by cloning collagen-making cells from behind the ear.
• In Dermalogen treatment, collagen is taken from dead human donors and is sterilized and processed, subsequently. One of the biggest advantages of Dermalogen treatment is that the risk of allergic reaction is minimal. However, patients allergic to lidocaine should inform their physician prior to the treatment.
