(Medical-NewsWire.com, March 03, 2014 ) Dallas, TX -- Anti-aging has become an American obsession according to a recent ABC report. Collagen and other fillers have become so popular that women are flocking across the border to get illegal injections. "There are dangers the women need to know about," the reporter warned. "It is important to know the facts."
Although there are many safe and approved anti-aging products that are sold in the United States, certain products are deemed harmful and are not legal. Patients were bringing the banned products from countries like Canada, Israel, and England the report stated. "I would inject them with Restylane. And the results were very good and longer-lasting," one doctor who wishes to remain anonymous said. "In fact, I use it on myself and most of my friends."
Cathy Stewart, life coach and expert on aging, explained, "More and more women are becoming increasingly aware of the way in which their bodies are aging. They are taking action earlier than ever. It is not unusual for a woman to begin and anti-aging regiment in her early twenties now."
Stewart went on to say that although there is no harm in the new popularity of anti-aging products, that it is imperative to keep safety in mind. "It is dangerous to seek products that are illegal in the United States because there is a reason they are illegal," she told reporters. "There are plenty of safe and effective ones to use that are approved such as Collagen Creams, Vitamin C Serums, and Hyaluronic Acid Serums as well. "It is important to be safe."
Women who are on a quest to look younger have reportedly gone to great lengths to get what they believe to be "miracles in a bottle" or "the fountain of youth". "Collagen injections are among the most popular," said Stewart.
Collagen in a natural protein found within the body that acts like elastic, holding our skin up. "As we age, we lose collagen," biologist Jan Patterson said. "That is why skin begins to wrinkle and sag. Women often opt to replenish the supply by collagen injections or facial serums and creams which is fine but only if they are legal and approved."
Collagen is just one of the many anti-aging drugs that are being purchased illegally. Human Growth Hormone, HGH, is another popular one. " Illicit distribution also involves diverted hGH obtained through theft, smuggled hGH illegally imported from other countries, and counterfeit hGH," states the United States Office of Diversion Control, a branch of the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Patterson expounded, "There are many dangers in getting anti-aging products that are not legal. Many contain harmful ingredients such as mercury. There are many excellent products that are safe and legal. Best to stick with quality organic Vitamin C Serums, approved collagen creams and so forth."
The growing desperation of women obtaining illegal anti-aging substances is a concern for drug enforcement agencies and medical authorities as well. "Those who don't follow the rules may end up in such danger they will not have to worry about aging at all," said Stewart. "I hope it never comes to that."
