Zyderm and Zyplast implants are made of purified bovine (cow) collagen that
is used to replenish the skin's natural collagen and smooth facial lines and
wrinkles. The implants contain a numbing agent called lidocaine that is
used to help ensure patients' comfort during the injection procedure.
There are various formulations for smoothing facial lines, wrinkles and scars
and for providing lip border definition.

Zyderm 1 implants are used to treat fine lines, wrinkles and shallow scars;
and worry lines, crows feet and nasolabial lines.

Zyderm 2 implants are used to treat moderate lines, wrinkles and scars.

Zyplast implants are indicated to treat pronounced lines, furrows and scars,
lip border definition, nasolabial folds, marionette lines and thicker areas of
the skin.

Treatment with Zyderm or Zyplast implants is an easy and effective way to
smooth lines, wrinkles, scars and define the lip border. An immediate,
visible difference in appearance may be achieved in one treatment session.

Four weeks prior to the procedure a skin sensitivity test is done on the
forearm to determine if a patient has a sensitivity to the implants.
Ninety-seven percent (97%) of men and women tested can be treated with
Zyderm and Zyplast implants.

Treatment with Zyderm and Zyplast implants consists of a simple in-office
procedure that can be completed quickly and conveniently, even during a
lunch hour. Most patients return to their normal routine immediately
following the procedure.

An ongoing series of customized treatments can preserve the look that is
desired. These treatments are as easy and convenient as the first one.

Zyderm® and Zyplast® collagen implants, introduced 17 years ago, remain
among the most popular, safe and effective choices for smoothing lines,
wrinkles, scars and defining the lip border.

Rigorous clinical trials to determine the safety and efficacy of Zyderm and
Zyplast collagen implants were conducted with 5,000 patients from 1976 to
1981. No other injectable collagen implants currently on the market have
undergone such extensive study. more
