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.
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.

Main features of the biological product Nitiya
The thread consists of microparticles of heterologous type I collagen, isolated using innovative technology invented and patented by Euroresearch srl (Italy). The extraction process does not change the natural structure of the protein and does not involve chemical cross-linking. Biomimetic collagen microparticles actively stimulate fibroblasts and the production of procollagen fibers.
When injected with the collagen-containing drug Nithya, the regeneration of the extracellular matrix, identical to the natural one, is triggered. This allows you to achieve a quick and lasting rejuvenating effect. Safety and absolute hypoallergenicity of the product is achieved by separating the triple collagen helix from the N and C terminal amino acids.
Collagen fiber maintains its natural triple helical structure, molecular weight and molecular chain sequence, minimizing the possibility of allergies and complications.
FAQ
Question: What should not be done after the procedure?
Answer: After the procedure, you should not wet your face for four hours. It is recommended to refrain from applying decorative cosmetics for 24 hours after the injection. It is also not recommended to visit the bathhouse/sauna, beach or solarium for 3-4 days.
Question: How does collagen therapy differ from mesotherapy?
Answer: If you want to saturate your skin with vitamins and other useful substances, then you need to undergo a course of mesotherapy. Collagen therapy is aimed at the growth of new collagen threads, which are tightly woven into the skin as a “framework”, making it elastic. Procedures can be combined to enhance the effect.
Question: What effect do creams with collagen or collagen tablets give?
Answer: They definitely will not increase the level of collagen in the skin. Neither creams, nor masks, nor drinks or tablets with collagen can saturate the skin with nutrients from the inside as much as deep injections.
Question: How long does the effect last?
Answer: From a year to a year and a half. The timing varies depending on the severity of the problem and the individual characteristics of the patient’s body.
