​Collagen Induction therapy Microneedling

Collagen Induction therapy - "microneedling"

Collagen Induction Therapy is the most specific and advanced form of skin micro needling. The process harnesses the body's own natural power to heal, restore and rejuvenate; promoting increased production of collagen and elastin for improved overall skin tone and texture. CIT is a safe and less invasive alternative to laser treatments. CIT is used to treat various facial and body skin issues such as wrinkles, sagging skin, stretch marks, acne scars, breast surgery, burns, sun damage (hyperpigmentation), hyper-pigmented dark spots, tucks, facelift scars and more. Skin will often appear thicker, more plump.

How Collagen Induction Therapy (Microneedling) Works

Microneedling devices cause controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing process. As the skin begins to heal, it goes through a three-phase wound repair process:  

1. Inflammation. Piercing the skin triggers the immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.  
   
2. Proliferation. The wound is rebuilt with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix.  
3. Remodeling. The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.   

 Due to the non-invasive nature, microneedling sessions usually require little downtime and works for all skin types- dark to fair.
