do they still use colligen injections?

does anyone still use them even??! it seems with how short they last and all the great alternatives not to mention the dangers of collegen sources that they don't even use it anymore. i know i haven't heard of anyone using it for at least 5 years.

yeah.... no one uses collagen anymore.... i use juvederm 30 HV..... forget collagen not lasting a long time..... u have to get tested first and even then u can later develop bad allergies to it since it is animal derived. my cousin had a horrible horrible reaction to it and has needed several laser scar treatments to get rid of what happened.

I heard my doctor offer it as an option 3 years back. He didn't use it regularly and discouraged its use, but it was available nonetheless.
