It is a very safe treatment; since it is administered through injections, the most common effects are sensitivity in the injection area, bruising at the application site, and some patients report a bit of sensitivity up to 72 hours after the application.
The effect lasts approximately 3 years, as new collagen fibers are formed that we did not have before, although it is important to understand that the aging process never stops (and we will continue to lose collagen).
Topical anesthesia is applied and we take several precautions to make the procedure very friendly.
This treatment is highly recommended to improve the overall composition of the skin, which means it is a treatment that will reactivate the machinery for producing skin cells. Imagine that this machinery stopped working at the age of 25, so if you are over 35, it might be time to start generating collagen reserves.
It is definitely not a quick-results treatment, as the effects start to be noticeable after 45 days, but the wait is worth it because the results are spectacular and very long-lasting.
So, if you are considering it, remember the time.
