How are collagen injections different from hyaluronic acid injections?
The body naturally contains both collagen and hyaluronic acid. Collagen is a protein that provides structural support to the skin while hyaluronic acid is a natural sugar substance that attracts and binds water, giving skin volume and firmness. Both types of injections yield similar results, the smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles, and can be used in conjunction with each other hyaluronic acid providing volume, and collagen providing structural support. Generally, the injection area and individual preferences will determine which product will be used.
