<h1>"Coll" Gel - Frequently asked questions</h1>
<h2>What is "Coll" Gel?</h2><br>
<br>
<span class="faqa">"Coll" Gel is a naturally occurring protein that constitutes
one of the primary components of the dermis, or second layer of the skin. "Coll" Gel
forms a network of fibers that gives the skin structure and support. The specialized
cells in the skin responsible for forming "Coll" Gel are called fibroblasts.</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<h2>Why do lines occur?</h2><br>
<br>
<span class="faqa">The appearance of lines is primarily caused by a reduction
in the number of active fibroblast cells in the dermis. As these "Coll" Gel-forming
cells gradually diminish, the skin's support system is weakened and the signs
of aging begin to appear.</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<h2>Is the "Coll" Gel / Isolagen process painful?<br>
<br>
</h2><span class="faqa">The procedure is well tolerated and very similar to
a typical injection. Should discomfort be anticipated, the surgeon can apply
a topical anesthetic cream that will reduce the sensation of the needle. In very
sensitive areas, such as around the lips, a local anesthetic can also be given
by injection.<br>
</span><br>
<br>
<h2>Are there any side effects with "Coll" Gel / Isolagen?<br>
<br>
</h2><span class="faqa">Patients may experience some reddening and soreness
around the injection sites, which usually fades after about a day. Most people
can go back to work the next day. Some may need to cover-up some inflammation
for a day or so.</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<h2>How many repeat "Coll" Gel / Isolagen injections are needed?<br>
<br>
</h2><span class="faqa">This has not yet been scientifically established. Isolagen
anticipates that a course of three injections will be adequate; however in cases
where the wrinkles are very deep, extra sessions may be required. Further stimulation
with Intense Pulse Light Photo-Facial Rejuvenation, micro-dermabrasion and lasers
will further enhance and maximize the results. Irrespective of the number of
injections, only one sample of tissue usually needs to be taken, as the cultured
cells can be stored cryogenically for future treatments.<br>
</span><br>
<br>
<h3>Can "Coll" Gel / Isolagen cells be stored for future use?<br>
<br>
</h3><span class="faqa">The potential for cryogenic preservation of cultured
cells is one of the advantages of the Isolagen process. Once tissue has been
cultured in the laboratory it can be stimulated repeatedly to produce millions
of new cells. These cells can be stored for prolonged periods for future use.<br>
