How does Fat Transfer compare with Collagen Injections?
You have no allergic reactions to your own fat. Consequently, there is no need to have any skin testing done: you can have the therapy performed without any delay. Collagen is derived from cows and requires skin testing for one month prior to therapy. Up to 3% of people develop an allergy to bovine collagen after it has been injected. Additionally, transferred fat is placed in a deeper plane of tissue, producing a softer, more natural look. Finally, there is a greater chance of some permanent correction with your own fat than with Collagen. Injection intervals are similar with both products (approx. 3-5 months).
