Collagen Induction Therapy (or CIT for short) is a unique treatment that uses micro-needles (typically loaded into a Dermapen) to gently glide over the skin. These needles create tiny punctures in the surface of the skin that trigger an immune response, and subsequently the production of new collagen.
The treatment can go by many names including Micro-Needling, Skin-Needling, Dermapen or as we've just referred to it, Collagen Induction Therapy and while all of these names can be used interchangeably, there can also be differences in how the treatments are performed.
The punctures produced during a micro-needling treatment also act as pathways for topical nutrients to be infused deep within your skin to correct your concerns. We use Hyalauron which works to alleviate dry skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and speeds up wound healing.
CIT is a minimally invasive treatment that can provide relatively quick results in firming your skin and leaving you feel rejuvenated.
Collagen Induction Therapy has many benefits which include:
- Improved skin appearance;
- Firmer feeling skin;
- Reduces the appearance of pores;
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
Not just for the face, skin needling can be used on the neck and decolletage, as well as body areas; in particular for the back of hands to reduce the signs of aging and the stomach and thighs to help with cellulite and stretch marks.
Although the treatment can be performed without it, we highly encourage the use of numbing cream before the treatment so we can work to a depth that will typically be too painful without.
CIT Treatments include:
includes: numbing cream, dermapen (via micro-needling) face & neck treatment + consultation
* note: additional charges may incur if recommended for intensive treatment
