Are Collagen Injections Safe?
The collagen used in collagen injections is a natural protein which can come from either human tissue or cow tissue. It is a relatively safe procedure and can offer very good results. One thing you should be aware of however is that there is a possibility of an allergic reaction to the collagen. This is why it is important to get a skin test done first before you proceed with the full treatment. Ideally two skin tests should be done in a one month period, each two weeks apart. The chance of an allergic reaction however is relatively low, and only about 2% of people will experience such a reaction. Collagen injections are currently considered safe by the FDA.
