Answers to your questions about COSMOPLAST®

While It is impossible to stop time, with today’s technology you can slow the effects aging has on your appearance. Small lines around your lips, frown lines, scars, tissue loss from muscle atrophy, and congenital defects can all be corrected without surgery using CosmoPlast™. CosmoPlast is an FDA-approved human collagen dermal filler that is safe and does not require a skin test prior to treatment.

Can anyone be treated with CosmoPlast®?

No. At your initial consultation, the doctor will review your medical history to determine whether or not you are an appropriate candidate for CosmoPlast collagen implants.

Do CosmoPlast® injections hurt?

Injections can be somewhat uncomfortable, however the CosmoPlast implants contain a small amount of lidocaine that helps temoporarily numb the area.

What do the results immediately after treatment?

Most people feel comfortable resuming normal activities immediately following treatment. Some temporary swelling of the treated areas should be expected, as well as temporary blushing, slight bruising and tenderness around the treatment sites. Some people have also reported an initial ability to feel the outline of the injected collagen.

As the CosmoPlast conforms with your own skin, the treatment site takes on the natural look of healthy skin. Any redness and visible swelling persisting for more than a few days can indicate a reaction to the filler, which should be reported to your doctor immediately.

How long does the CosmoPlast® last?

Touch-up injections are usually necessary to maintain optimal correction. Most who choose to receive touch-ups choose to do so within 3 - 12 months of the original treatment series, however, less CosmoPlast filler is necessary than what is injected during the initial treatment.

Preparing for your procedure

Before your treatment:

• 3 days before your appointment—stop taking blood thinners (such as aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, St. John’s Wort, and Vitamin E) because they may increase bruising or bleeding at the injection site.
   
• If you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, there is a risk that the needle punctures could contribute to another recurrence. Prescription medication can be taken prior to the treatment. If you think you need a prescription, inform our office prior to treatment and we can provide you with a prescription.

After your procedure

After treatment:

• Like any injection procedure, there are risks of infection, lumpiness, redness, swelling, pain, itching, discoloration or tenderness at the implant site. Typically, this resolves within 2 to 3 days after the injection.
   
• Cold compresses may be used immediately after treatment to reduce swelling.
   
• Hypersensitivity has been reported in about 1 in every 5000 treated patients. This consists of excessive swelling and firmness, and is usually self-resolved in about 2 weeks.
   
• You should not expose the treated area to heat (such as sunbathing or tanning booths)
   
• Avoid touching the treated area within 6 hours following treatment. After 6 hours the area can be gently washed with soap and water.
   
• Avoid exercise and alcohol for 6 hours post treatment.
   
• Evidence shows that having touch-up treatment before the product has fully dissipated will enhance the lasting effect. Consult your physician about recommendations for such touch-up treatments.
