Orange County Collagen Injections
Newport Beach Collagen Injection


As we age, our faces begin to show the effects of gravity, sun exposure and years of facial muscle movement. The underlying tissues that keep our skin looking youthful and plumped up begin to break down, often leaving laugh lines, smile lines, crow's feet or creases. Newport Beach surgeon, Dr. Savalia uses soft-tissue fillers such as injectable collagen to help fill in these lines and creases, temporarily restoring a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance. When injected beneath the skin, collagen injections plump up creased and sunken areas of the face. They can also add fullness to the lips and cheeks.

What can I expect during the Collagen procedure?

Dr. Savalia performs collagen injections using a fine needle inserted at several points along the edge of the treatment site. If a local anesthesia has not been used, you may feel some minor stinging or burning as the injections are administered.

Immediately following collagen injection, you may notice some minor discomfort, stinging or throbbing in the injected area. Occasionally some bruising or swelling will occur, but it is usually minor. Any redness that appears in the injected site usually disappears within 24 hours. However, in some individuals, particularly fair-skinned patients, this redness may persist for a week or more. Tiny scabs may also form over the needle-stick areas but these generally heal quickly.

How long will results of the collagen injection last?

The duration of results from collagen injections is variable and depends on your lifestyle and physical characteristics as well as the part of the body treated. In general, the injected material is likely to disappear faster in areas that are more affected by muscle movement.

For more information on collagen injections please call or email Dr. Savalia at our Orange County-area plastic surgery office.
