In recent years, scars and wrinkles and other soft tissue defects have been successfully treated with injectable collagen preparation. Collagen from bovine and porcine sources have achieved the most widespread use.

Conditions such as nasolabial furrows, perioral lines, secondary cheek wrinkles, crow's feet, undulating scars and transverse forehead lines can be cured using collagen.
