If wrinkles and fine lines are adding years to your appearance, surgery isn’t your only option. Today’s wealth of choices include dermal fillers and non-invasive surgical procedures that can add healthy fatty tissue to the face and improve the texture and tone of your skin.
Collagen fillers are one option in the latest injectables for both men and women, and typically provide 3-4 months of results. From Cosmoplast to Evolence, here are a few options for younger looking skin:
Cosmoplast Collagen Fillers
Cosmopolast collagen fillers are temporary line and wrinkle injectables that are readily available at most cosmetic surgeon’s offices. Cosmoplast was approved by the FDA in March 2003 and has since become a leading treatment at medispas and dermatologist’s offices across the country. Cosmoplast also goes by the name Cosmoderm, and serves as a soft tissue augmentation treatment and dermal filler.
What It Can Do: Cosmoplast can help to fill out fine lines around the eyes and mouth, improve definition of the lips and reduce the appearance of scars and indentatations on the face. This is a versatile injectable filler as it can be used on any area of the body. Since collagen.
Average Costs: The average cost for Cosmoplast injectable fillers in 2008 is $500+ per syringe.
Common Side Effects: Common side effects of this injectable are swelling, redness and slight bruising. In some cases, Cosmopolast may also change the color of the skin and cause temporary bumps.
Zyderm Collagen Fillers
Zyderm (also known as Zyplast) is another temporary line and wrinkle injectable that has been available since the early ‘80s. Zyderm and Zyplast are collagen implants made with purified bovine tissue, and the injectable can be administered in under an hour. It’s a popular ‘lunch hour’ injectable, and over 1.5 million patients have been treated with these collagen implants worldwide, according to FacialPlasticSurgery.com.
What It Can Do: Zyderm can help fill out fine lines and wrinkles, give the skin a more youthful appearance, and also enhance the lips. Anyone looking for a safe and effective lip augmentation procedure can enjoy instant results of Zyderm injectables, and results typically last from 3-4 months. Zyderm has been approved by the FDA.
Average Costs: The average cost of Zyderm injectable fillers in 2008 is $500+ per syringe.
Common Side Effects: The common side effects of injectables such as slight bruising, swelling, redness and tenderness can be expected.
Evolence Collagen Fillers
Evolence is still pending FDA approval, but may provide extended results beyond the standard collagen fillers on the market. Evolence injectables are not available in the U.S. as of the date of this publication, but are undergoing investigation and clinical trials. This collagen filler is a porcine (pig) based dermal injectable.
What It Can Do: Evolence may help reduce wrinkles and the appearance of scars, plump up the lips, correct sagging skin and fill up hollowed areas of the face.

Common Side Effects: The common side effects of injectables such as light bruising, redness and swelling can be expected from Evolence.
The biggest drawback of collagen fillers is that collagen is absorbed by the body over time. This is why most fillers only provide results for 3-4 months; after the collagen disappears, another injection may be required. Still, results are immediate and most people can book frequent treatments to enjoy lasting benefits.
