Cosmoderm and Cosmoplast are filler materials that are made from highly purified human collagen. They help to diminish fine lines, wrinkles, and scars. Cosmoderm is appropriate for superficial fine lines, such as the upper or lower lip area. Cosmoplast is well suited for deeper wrinkles. Cosmoderm and Cosmoplast contain lidocaine which numbs the skin at the site of injection.
