What is collostotherapy

Collostotherapy is a method based on intradermal injection of the Collost™ gel collagen complex. According to experts who have studied the drug in practice, Collost™ can be considered an alternative to plastic surgery.

The Collost procedure is used in dentistry, traumatology, surgery, and dermatology. In recent years, it has become actively used in cosmetology.

Gel "Collost" is a matrix for targeted tissue regeneration, which allows it to be used not only as an injectable micro-implant, but also to activate the synthesis of one's own collagen. In other words, what is important is that Collost™ gel not only restores collagen lost by the skin, but promotes the body’s active production of its own collagen, which distinguishes Collost™ from other collagen complexes.

After injection of Collost™ gel, mechanical filling occurs. At the site of injection of the gel, their own collagen fibers begin to form, resulting in the formation of full-fledged tissue.

Currently, various stimulating methods of influencing the skin are widely used in cosmetology. These methods are aimed at transforming the biological structure of the skin in one way or another.

There are methods of negative and positive stimulation.

Various aggressive procedures are used as negative stimulation: chemical peels of varying depths, laser resurfacing, dermabrasion. When these methods are used, the trigger for the desired changes in the skin is the processes of destruction (destruction) of the epidermis and dermis.

Positive stimulation, on the contrary, involves deep skin regenerative therapy. This tactic is especially necessary for damaged skin, which progressively loses its resistance to free radical influences and the ability to recover effectively after them with age. Positive stimulation can be achieved through intradermal injection of Collost™ gel.

"Collost" is an ideal product in the field of cosmetology, because... it is very effective in restoring natural collagen lost with age. Collagen provides firmness and elasticity to body tissues.

What is Collost?

Collost is a collagen injection. What does it mean?

Collagen is a special type of protein found in the human and animal body. It is found in tendons, cartilage and bones. Its largest amount is in the skin, in its main layer, which is called the dermis.

The anatomy of the dermis is figuratively compared to a water-spring mattress. The “water” is gel-like hyaluronic acid, while the “springs” are collagen fibers. They are arranged in the form of arcs and arches, providing the skin with support, tone and the ability to straighten the formed fold.

Collost is a collagen preparation. It contains the first type of this protein, characteristic specifically for the skin. The manufacturer does not undergo reconstruction of collagen molecules; as a result, the protein has a structure identical to the human molecule and does not cause allergies.

This collagen is obtained from the dermis of cattle, after which it is repeatedly purified, processed and brought to a high (7-15%) concentration.

Since the molecule of this protein is completely identical to the human one, after entering the skin it undergoes natural biodegradation. This saturates the skin with beneficial substances, causing:

• activation of the formation of your own collagen;
• skin tightening;
• neutralization of free radicals;
• increasing the rate of division of fibroblasts - cells whose task is to synthesize both their own collagen and the intradermal “gel” - hyaluronic acid;
• maintaining sufficient water and mineral balance in the skin.

Thus, the main work of Collost continues for a long time after administration of the drug.

Gel Collost – composition, action

Dosage form: “Collost® – gel. Volume 1.5 ml. Allergy test included" - sterile pyrogen-free injectable gel in pre-filled syringes, ready for use.

Composition: The drug contains: 15% gel: no less than 15% native unreconstructed collagen in a 10% sterile glucose solution 7% gel: no less than 7% native unreconstructed collagen in a 10% sterile glucose solution

Description: viscous, colorless or slightly yellowish suspension. The product is intended for single use. Collost® is a sterile collagen bioplastic material with a completely preserved native structure. Collagen, being the main protein of connective tissue, provides its structural basis. At the same time, collagen molecules act as a physiological matrix that ensures normal repair processes.

Pharmacotherapeutic group: Pharmacological action Collost® is a sterile bioplastic collagen material of a new generation with a completely preserved native structure, ensuring the regeneration of affected tissues. The drug contains type I collagen, obtained from the skin of cattle, which is closest in biological composition and structure to human collagen. This is processed bovine dermis whose fibers resemble a latticework that acts as a template for the formation of new tissue.

Action of Collost® in soft tissuesCollost® acts in three main directions:

• Firstly, when introduced into the correction area, the effect of immediate mechanical filling of the space with the injected gel is observed.

• Secondly, injection of the drug causes an aseptic wound process in the area of ​​intervention, leading to provoking a response from the body in the form of stimulation of fibrillogenesis in the affected area.

• Thirdly, Collost® provides the correction area with the main biological resources that are required for wound healing - a natural, skin-tissue specific collagen resource. Collagen is the main protein involved in wound healing. When the implant binds to the wound, fibroblasts migrate to it from the surrounding tissue and invade the collagen implant. A transition matrix is ​​created that stimulates the body's immune system and the activation of granulocytes, macrophages and fibroblasts, improves the transfer of growth factors released from cells, enhances the migration of fibroblasts and the proliferation of epithelial cells.

Intradermal allergy test 14 days before the administration of Collost® gel, it is necessary to carry out an intradermal allergy test. 0.1 ml of gel (allergy test) is injected intradermally into the forearm area. If any abnormality is detected, the test sample is regarded as positive and, therefore, the patient cannot be injected with “Collost” gel.

It happens, of course - redness, swelling, puffiness. This is not the case with collost; in literally an hour and a half (while I was driving home) the slight redness went away and there were no more troubles with my face. And now I just can’t be happier.

I always tried to get my body back to normal and be in excellent physical shape. I achieved the weight category I needed, but after losing a lot of weight, I developed hellish stretch marks in the thigh area... I didn’t expect to see the “other side of the coin”, of course... I tried different means and methods to get rid of this problem, but there was no desired result. I’ve heard about collagen injections for a long time, especially about their effective results in eliminating wrinkles. I asked the doctor...

Do it))) Six months ago I did 7 Collosta procedures, now I’m going for a correction, maybe I’ll do 1-2, I don’t know what my cosmetologist will say. I also doubted it at first, but then I decided. And I don’t regret it one bit. The wrinkles smoothed out, the skin became stronger, less susceptible to all sorts of influences, healthier, in short, from really healthy, the unevenness disappeared and the cheeks no longer sagged. Even if there are no obvious shortcomings such as scars or anything else, try it anyway, it’s on a natural basis, easily tolerated, no allergies or anything like that. At least I didn't.

About 1.5 years ago I polished off the stretch marks on my stomach with TCA and injected collost under the stretch marks. The effect was good. The face is very painful and the effect is no better than revitalization, they resorted to hyaluronic acid. Then a colleague at the salon had a reaction to it (and the test was negative) and the whole team got scared and stopped injecting him. Now I’ve decided to work on stretch marks again in the same way, but Martinex said that collost has been discontinued and is no longer available

A good modern drug in the fight for youth. I have already removed wrinkles with its help several times. Now I'm almost 40, but I look very good. I recommend collost to all women who want to stop time and challenge age-related changes. It helps you look younger without surgical interventions and is accepted by the body better than other mesotherapy drugs.

I’m glad that I didn’t let my situation with stretch marks after childbirth take its course! Our family doctor advised us not to wait, but to take a course of injections with the drug Collost as soon as possible. I am sincerely pleased with the results of the procedures!

I had a turbulent childhood) I loved to run with the boys, climb trees and fences. After one climb, there was a scar on my leg. I remember as a child they even took me to the surgeon to stitch it up. They didn't sew it up very well then. and so I lived with this beauty until I was 30 years old. I only had trousers in my wardrobe. The scar did not cause any problems. Now I switched to dresses and then a problem appeared - a scar on my leg. No matter what beautiful dress you wear, it ruins everything. It’s good that modern medicine does not stand still and can help. I'm talking about Collost now. The miracle gel cured my leg and made it beautiful. I thought that there would be difficulties in eliminating the scar. but it didn't even hurt.

Bruises after injections, pain of the procedure itself

Hello. I would like to tell you about the collost injection procedure. Here are the skin problems its action is aimed at: Presence of crow's feet around the eyes. Decrease in skin elasticity and turgor (chronoaging) on ​​the face and other parts of the body. Sagging of the cheeks and changes in the oval of the face. The presence of horizontal and vertical wrinkles in the forehead and around the mouth. Nasolabial folds. The rehabilitation period after various types of peeling, dermabrasion and plastic surgery. Scars, stretch marks and atrophic scars. Photoaging of the skin. I decided to do this procedure because I have small acne scars on my cheeks. Before the injections themselves, an allegro test will be done on the arm; after two weeks, if the test does not swell, you can do a collost. I made up my mind and went to a cosmetologist. First, an anesthetic cream is applied and the face is covered with a film; after waiting for several minutes, the injections begin. I would like to note that the procedure was more painful for me than all others. Each puncture caused pain. I usually endure all cosmetic procedures with ease, but this was the most painful. The cosmetologist injected his entire face. For the first five days there were small bruises, but now after a while I can say that the scars have become less noticeable, they seem to have lifted, the wrinkles have become less pronounced, and the skin has become fuller. There is definitely an effect, and it is pleasing.

Beauty injections, is it worth doing them?? I've always wondered this question. Can I undergo this kind of procedure for the sake of beauty? As it turns out, I can!! After many years of struggle with acne, pimples, etc., there were dimples and bumps on my cheeks, which I was always embarrassed about. Honestly, these irregularities terribly disfigure the face, and many people, when talking with you, involuntarily glance at these pits ((then it becomes three times unpleasant. Based on all of the above, I decided to turn to a cosmetologist who would tell me what to do with post-acne. As a result, After the examination, they decided to “treat” my post-acne with Collost gel. As the cosmetologist explained, this is the best option in my case. We decided to start with three procedures with 7% gel. However, in reality, it still took 5 procedures to achieve complete smoothing of the skin. Now about the sensations from the procedure itself. Let's just say, it's not particularly pleasant, but tolerable. A couple of hours and you come out with a slightly red and swollen face. The swelling goes away the next day! But still, it's better to carry out this procedure on Friday, so that Saturday can be calm spend at home)) Now about the results: they are unrealistically cool! The skin is evened out, all the bumps and depressions are smoothed out. Plus, the skin became elastic, bright, fresh. I don’t even remember the last time I looked like this. Three months have passed, the result is still the same as after the last injection. Everything turned out even better than I could have imagined, so I can confidently recommend Collost for solving post-acne problems.

Hello, today I want to talk about collost. Collost is an excellent product that is injected into the skin of the face to eliminate various cosmetic problems. In my case, these are traces of chickenpox. This procedure is carried out in several stages. The first is an injection in the arm to check for allergies and only then in the face. I tried a 7% and a 15% solution and both had incredible results. First, anesthesia is administered, and the injections are easier to tolerate (especially the lips). After the injection, the result depends on the professionalism of the cosmetologist, namely whether he hit the vessel or not, that is, there will be bruises or not. I only had one bruise the many times I had this procedure. The effect on the scars was minor, but the skin was very affected. She just changed, shone, rejuvenated. I began to radiate health and beauty outwardly, so I still recommend trying it at least once.

It's probably not customary for men to use such things. As a child (about 14 years old) I was a complete idiot and would squeeze pimples. Naturally, there were a lot of marks left on the face from this activity. Already at a conscious age I began to really regret it and think about how to get rid of it. Creams and folk remedies did not help. A friend recommended this product. Bought. I even had to go to a cosmetologist!!!!!! But I’m happy with the results - the craters, unevenness are gone, the skin is almost perfectly smooth, and I hardly talk to anyone about my past. It’s just awkward to explain to friends where the juices went))

Hello everybody. You can read the beginning of my story in the review about “Jesser Peeling”.

https://irecommend.ru/content/ne-stoit-pytat-illyuz…

Now the next stage has come. Collagen injections.

Collost 7% gel was used. The drug is available for sale in different volumes: 2 ml, 1.5 ml, 1 ml and 0.5 ml - for test samples. I purchased 1 ml. Because injections are planned to be done only in the cheek area where the main post-acne scars are concentrated.

It is planned to do the course 3-4 times, with intervals per month. Naturally, 1 ml is enough for 1 session.

Theory. The drug "Collost" is injected into problem areas. And the introduced foreign collagen promotes the production of your own collagen, due to which the skin surface will be smoothed. The drug is completely absorbed after 6 months. Let's see what happens in practice.

10 days before the procedure, a test was placed in the forearm area. 0.5 ml of the drug was injected under the skin. At first, the hand itched terribly and there was redness, after 5 hours the redness subsided, and only the puncture site was visible. After 2 days there was no trace on my hand. We also tested the cream used to provide pain relief, Emla (cream for superficial anesthesia). Test passed. This means you can move on to the main stage.

To avoid severe itching after the injection of Collost, the cosmetologist recommended that I take anti-allergy pills. The night before bed and an hour before visiting her.

Now let's move on to the procedure itself.

First the skin is cleansed. Then Emla cream is applied to the area where collagen will be injected. The skin is covered with film and left for 20 minutes (each person may have their own time).

After applying the cream. The skin begins to itch very much and gradually it fades away. And personally, after 20 minutes, when I touched my cheeks, I had the feeling that my cheeks were not mine, they were numb. This can probably be compared to anesthesia when visiting the dentist.

The collost injection kit includes a syringe with gel and 3 needles. Everything is individually packaged. And also a sample test. The box contains the batch number, production date and expiration date.

The collost gel is very thick, and in order to administer it, you need to preheat it by lowering a sealed syringe, for example, into a hot injection. Well, the stomp itself is an introduction. Thanks to anesthesia, pain is not felt when the skin is pierced with a needle. The only unpleasant sensation is when the drug is injected and the needle is pulled out (movement). The skin is treated with Chlorhexidine after each injection.

In total, the procedure takes 1.5 hours.

The appearance afterwards is not very aesthetic. The surface of the skin where the anesthetic cream was applied is white. And bright red dots show the places where the drug was injected. And on top of that, my face became lumpy. The dots on the face are very bright and it is very noticeable. With this look you want no one to see you. I'll take a photo next time.

2 hours after the procedure, the skin became uniformly bright pink. With such a face, in principle, you can go out into the street.

The next day there is practically no redness. But at a certain incidence of light, bumps are visible on the skin at the injection sites.

They say that the first results will be visible after 3 weeks. Let's see.

3.5 weeks after collagen injection. Theoretically, the result should already be noticeable. The only thing I see is that the bumps from the injected drug have resolved and the skin of the face has become uniform. BUT THE SCARS, UNFORTUNATELY, DIDN’T DISAPPEAR. In my opinion, even the smallest ones remained in their original places.

BUT I don't despair. We have now moved on to the next stage - laser nanoperforation.

Now, with a frequency of 3 weeks, we will alternate: collost, laser, collost, laser. A total of 6 procedures are planned. The final result will be visible after 3 months.

Today, I can say one thing for sure. That when fighting post-acne, ONE PROCEDURE for introducing collagen is NOT ENOUGH!!!

Therefore, if you decide on collagen injections and, in general, on such a scheme for combating post-acne (collost, laser) - have patience and money..

3 months after completion of the course.

In total, I did 3 collosts and 2 lasers. To be honest, I don’t see any special results, as there were unevenness on the skin and they remain the same. Although my cosmetologist says: “What, your skin has become much more elastic.” [Smile] But I wanted smooth skin. And the most unpleasant thing is that after completing all the procedures, my problems worsened, and now I’m struggling with rashes. I've already taken antibiotics... I don’t even know what exactly caused the exacerbation of the collost or the laser. But as I understand it, this collost procedure without a laser makes no sense.

The cosmetologist says there is no need to stop there, and you need to continue doing collagen injections, at least periodically. And he also suggests trying peeling with trichloroacetic acid. But judging by the reviews, the recovery after it is very long. In general, I have no desire to spend money on this yet.

Thank you for your attention.

You can’t be forever young (But I really, really want to. And some time ago I began to think about how to maintain the beauty and health of my skin. To be honest, I was afraid for a long time to go to beauty clinics, for some reason it seemed to me that they wouldn’t transform me there, but rather disfigure me. These are all pictures from the Internet when a woman becomes a monster. But after several recommendations from good friends, I chose a salon and made an appointment with the recommended cosmetologist. The cosmetologist examined and assessed the condition of my skin, advised me to do meso-injections with Collost gel. She told me about the positive effects of collagen gel on the skin and what is not harmful, and that this is a good way to heal the skin. I decided to think for a week and read information about Collost and its properties. To tell the truth, Collost interested me very much, since the manufacturer promises: COLLOST® will gently and carefully restore natural collagen skin, tightening it and getting rid of toxins. The radiance of youth, velvety will return. - increase skin turgor - get rid of wrinkles - improve complexion by improving the skin - remove scars on the body - reduce nasolabial folds - restore clarity to the contour of the face - remove scars from acne (post-acne) - tighten the skin around the eyes - remove stretch marks (striae) - rejuvenate the neck and décolleté area - return silkiness and elasticity to the skin of the hands Of course, I don’t have such an extensive list of problems))) And I decided to rejuvenate the skin. During the next consultation, we tested for allergies to the drug (this is a mandatory procedure; without it, the rejuvenation course cannot be started). The test showed no allergies. The drug was administered with micro needles, having previously numbed the skin with Elma (this is a special anesthetic cream), it was practically painless and tolerable. It would seem that there are not many problems, but I went to the cosmetologist for a collost 3 times (3 times with intervals of 4 weeks). As the cosmetologist said, you can’t inject a lot at once, it’s better gradually so that the drug settles down and the skin doesn’t need to be heavily loaded at once. What changes occurred after the procedures: about a day after the injections there was slight swelling, but there were no bruises or hematomas. There were also no problems with the distribution of the drug inside the skin. Over time, a rejuvenating effect began to appear, the skin became more elastic and toned every day. The oval of my face tightened, my sagging cheeks and cheekbones disappeared. Nasolabial and eyebrow folds were smoothed out. The cosmetologist promised the rejuvenating effect would last about 10 months, then maintenance procedures would need to be carried out. I’m very pleased with the result, it seems to me that I’ve even somehow become younger from the inside)”

Gel Collost contraindications:

• Positive test sample;
• Autoimmune diseases;
• Severe somatic diseases;
• Oncological diseases;
• Pregnancy and lactation;

To correct age-related changes, the procedure is indicated for people over 30 years of age. To resolve aesthetic issues - after 18-20 years.

Collostotherapy is a technique that allows you to restore the tone, elasticity and color inherent in young and healthy skin, and protect it from the effects of free radicals. Deep regenerative therapy provides the cellular microenvironment characteristic of young skin, slowing down aging. Thus, this method can rightfully be considered an alternative to plastic surgery.

How is the procedure performed in clinics?

First of all, you need to decide on the choice of a specialist. This should be a dermatocosmetologist or plastic surgeon.

Collostotherapy requires training in the specifics of the insertion technique and is performed according to a specific scheme, taking into account individual characteristics. The patient must be confident in the qualifications of the specialist.

During the consultation, an examination and assessment of the condition of the skin is carried out. The client is informed about the capabilities of the drug, features, indications, contraindications, complications.

An allergy test is carried out to exclude individual intolerance to the components, and a date for the procedure is set. There is no need to print the gel for testing; samples are included with each package.

Preparation:

• you should avoid taking medications;
• protect covers from exposure to ultraviolet radiation;
• do not carry out cosmetic manipulations that involve violating the integrity of the skin.

It is not recommended to smoke the day before to prevent hematomas. The packaging is printed in front of the patient; it is necessary to check the certification, batch number, and expiration date. Injections are carried out on an outpatient basis by a certified specialist.

Stages:

1. Before administration, the solution is heated to 36º–40º; at temperatures above 42º the protein coagulates.
2. The injection area is cleaned using professional cosmetic products.
3. Treated with an antiseptic.
4. An anesthetic ointment is used for pain relief and is removed from the body without consequences. Injections of 1–2% lidocaine solution are made in the periorbital and perioral area.
5. Filler is injected according to the chosen scheme. When treating the forehead and eyelid area, the patient assumes a sitting position; injections into other areas of the face and body are performed lying down.
6. The skin is re-treated with an antiseptic, and the doctor superficially massages the tissue for uniform distribution.

The procedure takes no more than an hour, after which the patient can go home, no supervision by medical personnel is required.

Treatment of stretch marks (striae).

Stretch marks (or stretch marks, as experts call them) are shallow scars in the form of wavy stripes that appear in places where the skin is chronically stretched. Most often they appear during pregnancy, puberty, with some endocrine diseases, as well as with a sharp change in body weight. Stretch marks can form on the abdomen, on the hips and buttocks, on the chest, and in case of endocrine problems, on the face. As a result of overextension or hormonal changes, the skin becomes thinner and loses elasticity, which leads to internal micro-tears, which are later replaced by connective tissue. Essentially, scar tissue forms at the site of healing of micro-tears in collagen and elastin fibers. There is no pigment in scar tissue, so stretch marks remain white when tanned and become more visible against tanned skin.

Until recently, the most common method for correcting stretch marks was resurfacing. When sanding, the surface layers of the skin are removed and the impression of smoothing is created. As a result, stretch marks become slightly less noticeable, but the problem cannot be completely solved, since the normal tissue structure in the areas of stretch marks is not restored.

In recent years, the use of the Collostotherapy method has allowed us to take a fresh look at the difficult task of correcting stretch marks and significantly improve treatment results.

How does Collost™ gel work in the treatment of stretch marks (striae)?

• Collost™ is used to replenish collagen lost by the skin in the area of ​​stretch marks.
• After injection of Collost™ gel, the stretch marks are mechanically filled and the skin surface is leveled.
• At the site of injection of Collost™ gel, own collagen fibers begin to form, which fill the area of ​​the defect.
• Collost™ is a matrix through which strictly directed growth of one’s own collagen fibers occurs, as a result of which full-fledged tissue is formed in place of stretch marks, and stretch marks become invisible, similar to the surrounding healthy skin.
• The procedure has been successfully used to treat both new and old stretch marks.

The technique allows you to restore the tone, elasticity and color inherent in young and healthy skin.

Normotrophic (physiological) scars after 3-6 months become thin, whitish in color, and do not cause physical discomfort to a person. These scars usually do not need correction. The exception is cases of aesthetic improvement of the appearance of the scar, smoothing the surface or accelerating the rate of color normalization.

With atrophic scars, the skin over the scar is flabby, has transverse striations; often such scars are devoid of pigment, so they look white. The characteristic appearance of these scars is due to a defect in the connective tissue under the scar, a deficiency of collagen and elastin, the main proteins that form the framework of the skin.

Hypertrophic scars rise above the surface of the skin, they are mobile, painless, and have a soft consistency. Localization: cheeks, nasolabial folds, around the mouth, anterior, posterior and lateral surfaces of the neck, sternum.

Hypertrophic scars, like keloid scars, rise above the surrounding skin, but, unlike keloid scars, they occupy an area corresponding to the previous damage.

Keloid scars belong to the group of pseudotumor skin diseases. This is a dense, lumpy growth of connective tissue with a smooth shiny surface and a color from pink to bluish-purple.

There is often tingling, burning, itching, and pain.

Characterized by the ability to constantly grow and relapse after treatment.

How Collost™ gel works in the treatment of atrophic scars.

• Gel Collost™ is used to replenish collagen lost by damaged skin.
• At the site of injection of the Collost™ gel, its own young collagen fibers begin to form, and COLLOST™ itself gradually undergoes biodegradation.
• Gel Collost™ is a matrix through which the strictly directed growth of one’s own collagen fibers occurs, resulting in complete skin regeneration.

Collostotherapy is successfully combined with other techniques: peelings, hyaluronic acid, laser technologies, etc.

The recommended course is 3-8 procedures 1-2 times a month. The course depends on the degree of atrophy and the age of the scar.

At the Clinic of Aesthetic Medicine “Absolut Med”, Collostotherapy is carried out by the Chief Physician, cosmetologist, dermatovenerologist Tatyana Nikolaevna Chvyrova, a certified expert in the use of Collost gel, who has been using the drug in active practice to correct age-related skin changes, treat scars and stretch marks for more than 10 years. Today, the Absolut Med Aesthetic Medicine Clinic is one of the leaders in the number of procedures performed using Collost gel in Moscow.

How the drug works

COLLOST gel contains protein components that are as close in structure as possible to collagen. These are elastic threads twisted into a spiral. The drug is injected into the dermis, which facilitates its absorption.

Once in the cell, COLLOST is absorbed by the body and stimulates the production of fibrillar protein. Gradually, the skin's natural reserves of collagen are restored, which leads to a number of positive changes:

• wrinkles are smoothed out;
• natural skin tone is restored;
• Scars, stretch marks, post-acne disappear;
• cellular metabolism is normalized;
• improves complexion;
• skin is smoothed;
• The contours of the face and body are corrected.

After completing the course, the body rejuvenates, age-related changes and the influence of negative environmental factors are smoothed out. The effect of collost does not stop after the end of the injections due to the restoration of the collagen supply in the dermal cells.

Efficiency

Collost fills voids in tissues, saturates them with active substances and “building” material for natural renewal. The relief is leveled, structure and density are restored, and skin turgor improves. The high regenerating and rejuvenating effect of collotherapy allows us to consider it as an alternative to surgical techniques.

Collotherapy effectively eliminates scars, scars, stretch marks, while restoring and rejuvenating the skin.
