Collagen is a fibrous protein in the dermis. In young skin, it is resistant and elastic. With age, its production decreases and deteriorates in quality. Collagen has been used for a long time as a resorbable filler in aesthetic injections. Today, collagen has been abandoned due to its high production cost, its short life cycle once injected and its risk of producing an allergic reaction.
