The ratio of type I and type III collagen is 44/56. The persistence of collagen in rats is more than one year. Rat cells and capillaries grew into the injections. Fibroblasts synthesized rat collagen. Capillaries established blood supply. The clinical observation on 123 cases proved the safety of this product.
