About

Tropocollagen Guna is an innovative product for patients who want to strengthen or extend the durability of the effects of anti-aging, regenerative, body shaping therapies , reducing local excess fat or treating scars and stretch marks. The Guna Collagen is the only product available on the market, that contains type I tropocollagen. The collagen is the protein naturally occurring in the human body, it rebuilds defects in the structure of collagen fibres, thanks to which the elasticity and firmness of the skin improves. Such an action, in combination with additional, carefully selected active ingredients, can also significantly support the effect of other therapies aimed at improving the condition of tissues, which has been confirmed by research.

HOW DOES TROPOCOLAGEN GUNA TREATMENT WORK ?

Ingredients used in the Tropocollagen Guna products, contains a protein naturally occurring in tissues, from which collagen fibres are formed in metabolic processes. The collagen fibres are the main component of the so-called bioscaffolding of the skin - a skeleton responsible for its structural integrity, elasticity of tissues and their tensile strength. As a result of aging processes , as well as various disease processes or injuries, collagen in tissues is degraded, the "bioscaffolding" is also damaged . Tropocollagen Guna has an ability to supplement the defects in its structure. Thanks to this, the anatomical and functional structure of collagen fibres is strengthened, and the auxiliary substances contained in the product make this process faster and more effective. Such an action not only translates into improved skin condition, but is very important in preparing the skin for other therapies or strengthening and prolonging the effects of treatments aimed at stimulating collagen synthesis (i.e. PRP/ PRF treatment. This technology is applicable not only in aesthetic medicine , it has also been used for years in the process of wound healing , in the treatment of pain in the musculoskeletal system, as well as in supporting the treatment of scars and stretch mark.

Collagen Medical Devices

The Tropocollagen Guna treatment , due to the great possibilities of its personalization, has versatile applications. When performing the procedure, we can personalize the combination of preparations so that the effects best suit the patient's problems and expectations.

MD-TISSUE

It was created to support therapies aimed at slowing down the aging process of the skin. Since one of the main causes of the loss of elasticity and firmness of the skin and the appearance of wrinkles and deepening furrows on its surface is the degradation of collagen fibers, the main goal of MD-TISSUE is to rebuild their defects.

The results of treatments using MD-TISSUE include supporting therapies aimed at :

• improving the firmness of the skin and its tension , as well as its density . As a result, the skin of the face, neck and cleavage takes on a more youthful and fresh look.
• lifting the falling oval of the face .
• smoothing superficial wrinkles and slowing down the formation of new ones.
• moisturizing dehydrated skin , which also affects the overall improvement of its quality.
• slowing down and leveling the effects of oxidative stress , such as dryness and lack of radiance, thanks to the reduction of free radicals.
• improving the level of oxygenation and skin tone by performing a series of punctures necessary to introduce the preparation into the skin.

MD-TISSUE is administered into the skin using the needle mesotherapy technique , which is associated with an additional regenerative effect of the treatment. Safe and controlled micro-damage to the skin has the effect of motivating the skin for immediate repair . Its cells begin to secrete growth factors , rebuild the intercellular matrix and increase the activity of fibroblasts . As a result, the production of collagen , elastin and hyaluronic acid increases in the skin , and new blood vessels are formed .

MD-MATRIX

The product was created to support safe body shaping procedures by maximally accelerating tissue metabolism . Type I tropocollagen affects the reconstruction of fibrous connective tissue , which is part of adipose tissue . It supports the work of blood and lymphatic vessels , thus improving lymph circulation in the treated area. As a result, MD-MATRIX restores the proper metabolism of adipose tissue, and the content of carefully selected active ingredients has a positive effect on the acceleration of metabolic processes running in adipocytes, leading to faster fat burning .

The results of treatments using MD-MATRIX include supporting therapies aimed at:

• removal of excess locally accumulated adipose tissue and slimming of the body around the navel, above the knees, on the hips, upper and inner thighs and on the arms.
• reduction of the undereye fatty deposits
• double chin reduction and skin firming in this area.
• reducing the visibility of cellulite thanks to the support of blood vessels and the lymphatic system.
• improving the density , firmness , elasticity and general condition of the skin in the treated area.

MD-MUSCLE

These product is intended to support therapies aimed at treating many problems related to muscles and joints , but they are also used in anti-aging prophylaxis . Type I tropocollagen regenerates connective tissue , which is an integral part of the muscle and its fascia. It also affects the blood vessels that run through the muscles, which supply them with nutrients and remove harmful metabolites , as well as the nerves , which are responsible for muscle movement. As a result, therapies with MD-MUSCLE accelerate the processes of restoring proper muscle tone and the skin over the treated area regenerates and firms faster.

Treatments with the use of MD-MUSCLE include supporting therapies aimed at:

• restoring proper muscle tone at rest, which translates into a rejuvenated appearance of the treatment area.
• giving the face a rested appearance by relaxing the muscles in this area.
• facilitating muscle stretching and function .
• bruxism treatment .
• relaxation of the muscles around the eye
• weakened muscle's regeneration due to the Botox use

ADVANTAGES OF GUNA TROPOKOLAGEN TREATMENT

Collagen is a protein that is a part of connective tissue. It acts as a glue in the body, binding skin cells, bones, blood vessels and teeth together. In addition to forming tissues, collagen is also responsible for their regeneration and maintenance . It helps to condition our joints, regenerate damaged tendons and ligaments, helps in wound healing and increase blood circulation in our body.

As the time passes, collagen in the body begins to decrease , thus accelerates the skin aging, it's changing oval and creating wrinkles and furrows. A young person produces about 3 kg of this protein per year. But around the age of 25, its level begins to decrease, and after the age of 60, collagen synthesis stops completely.

The first stage of collagen formation takes place in fibroblasts - cells of the connective tissue. Fibroblasts produce the so-called collagen preforms (procollagen), i.e. short protein fibrils, which, after being expelled from the fibroblast, begin to connect in the intercellular space. In this way, tropocollagen is formed - the structural basis for the construction of collagen fibers . And this nanoparticle, which is a precursor of mature collagen, can be introduced into the tissue during the needle mesotherapy treatment.

Of course, the origin of tropocollagen is also important. The one contained within the products created by the GUNA pharmaceutical company, contains a very high concentration of three amino acids: glycine (22.8%), proline (13.8%) and hydroxyproline (13.0%). This particular tropocollagen is also the most similar in its structure to that produced by fibroblasts in the human body. And this means that it is not only able to stimulate the body to reproduce collagen, but also at the time of administration it immediately penetrates into the weakened bioscaffolding networks, filling the resulting gaps .

GUNA tropocollagen rebuilds not only the skin, but also the muscles. In the case of the skin, its effect is to increase its density. On the other hand, tropocollagen type I restores proper muscle tone and helps maintain their proper mass.

And what are its long-term effects? Tropocollagen, by activating fibroblasts for increased collagen synthesis, as a natural biostimulator, makes the body itself create durable and flexible collagen networks , which has a preventive effect on the symptoms of progressive aging.
