From Vida Aesthetics site:
(Nithya) Is a Class III medical device. It is a heterologous Type I collagen powder which stimulates the production of new fibroblasts to create native Type III collagen, a process that is fundamental in cosmetic medicine and anti-aging treatments. In the form of a lyophilized collagen patch, this product has been used for almost 30 years and is still successfully used today to affect the healing of skin ulcers, open wounds, scars and bedsores.
Each package consists of a glass bottle containing equine type I collagen in powder form, sterile and pyrogen-free.
Is safe, with no reported side effects, is hypoallergenic and gives excellent results. Used in combination with lidocaine, the surgery procedure is virtually painless and is the only commercially available Type I collagen intended for aesthetic surgery. The product bears the CE 0373 mark.
It produces the optimal conditions to restore connective tissue. It supplements dermal bio-revitalization and assists the regeneration of connective tissue in the dermis proving perfect conditions for the physiological neo-formation of collagen. Can be used for body and facial chrono- and photo-aging treatments.
Packaged for single use and must be placed in suspension immediately before use in WFI (Water For Injection) at a ratio of a vial of collagen to 5 ml of WFI. Once in suspension, the product should be used immediately and any remaining following the treatment should be discarded. Using the appropriate size needles from 32G x 2 mm up to 30G x 4 mm, the product is administered through intradermal infiltration by medical practitioners licensed to carry out such treatments. The technical skill of the practitioner is key to the success of the treatment so it is recommended that the practitioner receives specific training on the mesotherapic injection technique.
