In today’s busy world it is often hard to find the time to stay looking young and fresh. Sometimes working out, eating right and getting a good night of sleep just are not enough to make you look and feel your best. However, with the aid of Cosmoderm® and Cosmoplast®, Dr. Heather Roberts can help restore the youthful beauty of your skin. Cosmoderm® and Cosmoplast® are the first FDA approved natural human collagen based fillers. Collagen is one of the key structures in our skin that gives our skin the strength and support it needs. By replenishing the lost collagen in your skin due to aging, the sun, smoking and other factors, Cosmoderm® and Cosmoplast® can restore the healthy foundation of your skin. Collagen-based dermal fillers have been proven safe and effective for more than twenty years. One of the things that make Cosmoderm® and Cosmoplast® so effective is that they are designed to temporarily erase the signs of aging in specific ways. Cosmoderm® smoothes out and diminishes acne scars, and fine lines, like those around your mouth. Cosmoplast® remedies deeper wrinkles and can give a “non-surgical face lift.” In addition, these fillers can be used to rejuvenate your lips in either a very subtle or dramatic way depending on your preference. Dr. Roberts may even layer Cosmoderm® over Cosmoplast® at the same time to give you complete correction of both deep and fine lines. Among the many advantages of using Cosmoderm® and Cosmoplast® is the added benefit of an anesthetic that is added to the formulation. This helps reduce the discomfort associated with the actual injection. With the application of topical numbing cream before the procedure, patients report minimal discomfort. Of course, having an experienced dermatologist like Dr. Heather Roberts can help ensure that your treatment is a pleasant experience. At your appointment, Dr. Roberts will discuss your wishes for treatment and help counsel you to find the best solution to meet your needs. In less than 30 minutes a series of small injections will be made. The best part of all is that you will see the dazzling results immediately with minimal down time. Prepare to enjoy that reflection looking back at you in the mirror for quite awhile, since Cosmoderm® and Cosmoplast® can last up to 4 months. Don’t be alarmed if you get mild swelling, tenderness or redness around the area injected. This is a temporary effect, which usually resolves within 24 hours. Rarely, mild bruising can occur. You can feel free to apply makeup if needed that night. Are you a candidate for Cosmoderm® and/or Cosmoplast®? Most people are eligible for augmentation by Cosmoderm® and Cosmoplast®, but there are some precautions: • If you have a history of multiple allergies, hay fever, asthma, or eczema. • If you are pregnant or nursing. • If you are taking immuno-suppressants. • If you have a systemic connective tissue disease. In addition, Cosmoderm® and Cosmoplast® should not be used if the patient has any serious allergic reactions or a known allergy to lidocaine.
