Collagen is something without which our skin cannot exist. She ages, fades, fades. Collagen itself is not replenished. And its reserves cannot be replenished by consuming drugs containing collagen. It is possible to replenish the level of this essential protein in the body only through injections.

Collagen Nithya (Nithiya) is a unique preparation of biological origin, the structure of which is as close as possible to the structure of collagen produced by the human body. When introduced into the layers of the epidermis, it slows down the aging process and triggers the production of its own collagen. The action of the drug Nitiya exactly reproduces the physiological process of regeneration of the extracellular matrix.

As a result, the skin becomes smoother, elastic, dense, and wrinkles and scars are smoothed out. After the first procedure, the skin acquires a healthier and more youthful appearance, and after a course of procedures this effect is consolidated.

The developer of the drug is Euroresearch srl, a pharmaceutical holding company founded in 1983. The company has an impeccable reputation as a reliable partner and leading developer of collagen-containing products. The company's portfolio includes a wide range of patented drugs developed on the basis of its own laboratory and R&D department.

All products of the Euroresearch srl holding are manufactured in accordance with high CE, ISO and GMP standards. For more than 30 years, Euroresearch srl has been successfully operating on the international market and is represented in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, Asia and the USA.

Reasons that slow down collagen synthesis:

• free radicals, which cause oxidative stress, leading to damage to skin cells;
• weather conditions (cold, sun, wind, humidity level). The sun's rays penetrate deep into the layers of the skin, destroying collagen;
• bad habits (smoking, drinking alcohol, caffeine). Many clinical studies have proven that bad habits weaken the skin's barrier functions and accelerate the process of wrinkle formation.

How to improve collagen synthesis? Collagen injections - an innovative natural rejuvenation - will help you on your way to maintaining youth and beauty. Skin collagen therapy is a course of procedures aimed at consistent stimulation of fibroblasts in order to obtain a long-term aesthetic effect.

What makes this procedure truly unique is its breadth of application.

Restoration of collagen synthesis is required by women and men of different ages and in different situations. This makes collagen injections a very popular service in the field of modern cosmetology.

Description of the method

During the cosmetic procedure, skin protein is used, which ensures its elasticity. Collagen production in the body decreases over time, and its deficiency leads to deterioration of tissue quality. Preparations with collagen have long been used in cosmetology as skin rejuvenation products. But Nitya is an innovative tool. The solution is manufactured in Italy using patented technology based on natural, animal protein. The use of the product guarantees the highest degree of safety.

Features of tissue rejuvenation with Nithya:

• The drug is based on microparticles of heterologous protein produced from horse tissue;
• the main element of the solution is collagen, which makes up about 70% of normal skin components;
• the formula was created and patented by the Italian pharmaceutical organization Euroresearch srl, which has been providing cosmetic products to the market for more than 37 years;
• the drug activates fibroblasts, promotes the production of procollagen fibers;
• activates the processes of restoration of the intracellular matrix, similar to the natural one;
• using modern production technologies, it was possible to ensure that the drug does not affect chemical protein bonds or tissue structure, this ensures high biological compatibility and digestibility of the solution by the body;
• the drug does not pose a danger to allergy sufferers, being hypoallergenic, this is achieved by separating the triple helix of collagen from the N- and C-terminal amino acids.

The manufacturer of the technique notes that in order to achieve a sustainable and effective result from rejuvenation procedures, additional collagen injections are necessary. Since the skin frame is “built” on this substance. Therefore, the use of collagen is the basis for solving a number of age-related problems associated with the deterioration of tissue quality.

Why collagen production slows down

Scientists have proven that after 25-30 years, the amount of collagen produced in the body begins to decrease. By the age of 40, its synthesis slows down by 20% compared to the age of 20. After 50, it is produced at approximately half the volume. Its lack harms not only the organs and systems of the human body, but also limits the ability to maintain skin tone. Cosmetic products can hardly cope with the deficiency of this component. Even the use of hyaluronic acid without a collagen framework does not guarantee a long-term effect of skin rejuvenation.

Why is collagen synthesized in less volume:

• structural changes and the aging process of tissues are associated with activation of activity, as well as an increase in the number of free radicals in the body, oxidizing cells and amino acids, including collagen;
• exposure to UV radiation negatively affects tissues and destroys protein;
• consumption of tobacco products, abuse of alcohol, caffeine-containing products and refined sugar contribute to the deterioration of the skin, leading to protein loss.

However, Nithya allows you to replenish collagen deficiency and restore the quality and properties of the skin. The procedure ensures the creation of a natural skin framework and its strengthening.

Types of collagen therapy

European scientists have proven that oral intake of amino acids (the main composition of collagen) also has a beneficial effect on the quality of the skin, so it is better to take such drugs 3-4 hours before meals and for at least 3 months.

Creams with collagen should also not be written off, but they use synthetic or marine collagen, and it is not as effective. The following collagen-based preparations are used in “Own Clinic”: Laennec and Collost.

Laennec

Laennec is a unique drug, the production of which is controlled in Japan at the state level.

Result of using Laennec:

• increasing immunity;
• the process of restoration and intoxication of the liver starts;
• the body's endurance increases;
• high-quality recovery after operations;
• muscle lifting;
• improving quality of life.

Laennec is used in the form of intravenous droppers, intramuscularly or as injections into biologically active points.

Price

The cost of 1 ml of collagen-containing preparation is 5,000 rubles.
The final cost of the procedure depends on the volume of correction plus anesthesia. So, for the area around the eyes, 1-2 ml is enough, for the face (without the area around the eyes) you will need 2 ml. Your doctor will provide you with accurate information during a face-to-face consultation. Do you have any questions?

Skin rejuvenation using collagen injections - Collost gel

Do you know which protein is one of the most important in the human body? Of course, COLLAGEN!

Did you know that collagen constitutes up to 70% of all proteins in the skin?

Collagen is an essential component of skin, connective tissue, ligaments, bones, vessel walls, etc. Scientists have proven that it is collagen that maintains the structure of organs and tissues in the human body, as well as skin tone!

Unfortunately, with age, as well as under the influence of sunlight, collagen is produced more and more slowly, its structure “aging”. It is difficult for such collagen to “maintain the tone” of the skin.

This manifests itself in the skin:

• Ptosis (sagging) of tissues and loss of a clear oval face.
• Decreased elasticity (turgor) of the skin.
• The appearance of folds and wrinkles.

How to make age-related skin changes less noticeable:

Modern techniques are needed to activate the production of the skin’s own, “renewed” collagen.

For example, injections of COLLOST gel (7% and 15%) - natural injectable collagen that activates the production of the skin’s own collagen.

What problems does the Collost gel solve:

7% COLLOSTTM

• Wrinkles (“crow’s feet”, “smile wrinkles”);
• Loss of elasticity and firmness of the skin after surgery;
• Correction of reduced body skin turgor in the treatment of cellulite and local fat deposits;
• Scars after acne, chickenpox, etc.

15% COLLOSTTM

• Horizontal forehead wrinkles;
• Wrinkles above the bridge of the nose;
• Deep nasolabial folds;
• Correction of lip shape and volume;
• Correction of the shape and volume of the cheekbones;
• Chin shape correction.

"COLLOST" is effective against age-related skin changes. Helps replenish and renew your own collagen. At the injection site, new collagen fibers are formed and the skin restores its properties and appearance.

• The number and depth of wrinkles decreases.
• Skin tone is strengthened.
• The clarity of the oval face improves.

How is the “Collost” gel injection procedure performed:

The procedure is carried out in 2 stages:

Stage 1 - 2 weeks before the proposed procedure, it is necessary to conduct a test to determine sensitivity to the drug, that is, to identify an allergic reaction. 0.1 ml of COLLOST gel is injected into the skin of the forearm and the result is assessed after 2 weeks. If there is no swelling or redness in the area where the drug was administered, the test sample is considered negative and the procedure can be performed.

Stage 2 - the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, in a treatment room. “Collost” is injected through a thin needle, intradermally. The area of ​​administration of the drug can be different - face, neck, décolleté, etc.

The course of procedures usually ranges from 4 to 9 sessions, with an interval of 2-4 weeks.

The duration of the effect after a course of procedures ranges from 4 to 8 months.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with Emla cream and is practically painless.

At what age can Collost gel be used:

To correct age-related changes, the procedure is indicated for people over 30 years of age.

What methods do we recommend combining the use of Collost gel:

The procedure goes well with other rejuvenation techniques, for example, fractional photothermolysis, DOT therapy, and ultrasonic SMAS lifting. The combined use of several techniques to correct age-related changes gives an even more pronounced positive result.

For each patient, the doctors of our clinic develop a unique and individual program of procedures, taking into account the characteristics of his skin.

Contraindications to the procedure:

• Positive test sample;
• Autoimmune diseases;
• Blood clotting disorder;
• Severe somatic diseases;
• Oncological diseases;
• Dermatoses in the acute stage;
• The presence of permanent gel in the intended treatment area;
• Tendency to form keloid scars.
• Pregnancy and lactation period.

Relative contraindications:

• General diseases in the acute stage;
• Pregnancy and lactation;
• Taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs;
• Taking antibiotics.

What else the patient needs to remember:

• Before carrying out the first procedure, a test sample must be carried out
  .
• If the patient is a vegetarian, then in some cases an allergic reaction to the protein component of the drug may occur.
• Light makeup can be applied 6 hours after the procedure.
• Until the papules, swelling and redness disappear, it is not recommended to expose the skin to intense heat (sunbathing, visiting a solarium, etc.) or very strong cooling.
• After the procedure, multiple bumps-papules, swelling and redness, itching of the skin and increased sensitivity of the skin may be observed at the sites where the COLLOST gel was administered. All this is a normal skin reaction to the injection. These effects are temporary and usually disappear on their own 1-3 days after the procedure.

When else can “Collost” be used in cosmetology:

• For the correction of stretch marks and scars.
• To correct post-acne (consequences of acne).
• For rehabilitation after procedures (laser and chemical peels, fractional photothermolysis, DOT therapy).

Is Collost gel safe?

Gel "COLLOST" is a medical product that has Registration Certificate No. FSR 2008/02112 dated April 23, 2008 of the Federal Service for Surveillance in Healthcare and Social Development of the Russian Federation and is recommended for use in cosmetology and plastic surgery.

"COLLOST" is manufactured in accordance with a unique patented technology (patent No. 2353397), which was awarded the Big Gold Medal in the field of medicine at the 23rd International Exhibition of Inventors in Geneva (Switzerland).

Service cost:

The cost of the procedure is from 5,200 rubles.

Indications for use

You can understand why women need to drink collagen by carefully studying the properties of the protein. Taking medications containing this substance improves metabolism and the functioning of the digestive system. If you combine it with physical activity and careful monitoring of your diet, you can achieve effective results in the process of weight loss. Indications for use are also:

• the presence of bone and joint diseases, for example, atherosclerosis or osteoarthritis;
• the appearance of the first signs of skin aging;
• insufficient intake of protein into the body;
• deterioration of hair and nails.

Collagen should be taken by women during menopause, which is characterized by a decrease in hormonal activity. At this time, metabolism deteriorates and protein molecules are destroyed. You can reduce the severity of the symptoms that follow by using vitamins.

Zinc

Zinc is the only metal present in the non-protein part of enzymes of each class, and zinc cannot be replaced by any other metal. Despite the low concentration of zinc in the blood, stable bonds with macromolecules make it available to all tissues of the body, which further allows it to satisfy the needs of proteins and enzymes that perform various biological functions [28].

The prevalence of zinc deficiency in the world is no less significant than that of iron and vitamin C, and amounts to up to 60% [29].

Zinc is absolutely necessary for the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide by erythrocytes, and most of the zinc in the blood is contained in erythrocytes as part of zinc metalloenzymes - carbonic anhydrase. Carbonic anhydrases catalyze the conversion of carbon dioxide into carbonic acid (carbonic acid is involved in maintaining blood pH in the physiological range (7.25–7.35). In the capillaries of the lungs, these processes go in the opposite direction: carbonic acid breaks down into carbon dioxide and water, and carbon dioxide the gas is removed outside [18].

Without normal respiration, not a single cell is able to carry out its functions.
