COLLAGEN THERAPY

What is Collagen?

Collagen is a protein produced by the body, constituting approximately 30% of all human proteins, and at the same time being one of the main components of connective tissue. Collagen is a kind of glue that connects cells together – it is the building material of skin, bones, teeth, tendons, cartilage, blood vessels and eye corneas. Collagen is called the protein of youth for a reason – this substance supports, among other things:

• maintaining smoothness, elasticity, good tension and hydration of the skin,
• proper functioning of joints without pain,
• faster healing of wounds and healing of broken bones,
• maintaining the elasticity of blood vessels, which improves blood circulation.

Collagen also protects internal organs such as the kidneys, stomach and liver, creating a protective layer around them. Collagen also plays an important role in the immune system, supporting the body’s defense against microorganisms, toxins and cancer cells.

However, with age, the body’s ability to produce collagen decreases – this means that at some point more collagen cells die than are produced. This is a natural process, but it can occur at a relatively young age – even before the age of 30. Moreover, harmful external factors such as stress, toxins, solar radiation or air pollution may affect its severity.

Mechanism of action of collagen therapy in the form of an injection

In drugstores and pharmacies you can buy various types of collagen tablets or dissolving sachets. Does collagen taken orally know which place in our body it should repair? Unfortunately not!

Collagen given in the injection works in an area of ​​approximately 2 cm from the injection site, which guarantees the start of treatment in a specific area. The administered collagen is deposited at the site of damage. Our body begins to use it to repair diseased fibers, and also sends information to the surrounding cells that they should start producing their own collagen chains, into which the collagen given externally in the form of an injection can be incorporated. In this way, the injection not only facilitates the body’s regeneration, but also activates and strengthens its own repair systems.

The regenerative effect also causes a quick reduction of inflammation and pain. Thanks to this, our body returns to full fitness very quickly.

The use of collagen preparations additionally stimulates proliferation, i.e. the multiplication of fibroblasts and their migration into areas of damaged tissue. It not only plays an important role in skin regeneration as part of aesthetic medicine procedures, but is also used in the process of wound healing, scar treatment and reduction of stretch marks.

Type I collagen contained in injectable medical products is easily absorbed by our tissues and does not cause allergic reactions. The natural processes occurring in the body are not disturbed by the injection. The products we use do not contain any substances prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency and can be administered to professional athletes.

Type I collagen does not interact with medications. No recovery time is required after the injection. Collagen therapies can be combined with physiotherapy, rehabilitation and other regenerative preparations.
