COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY (CIT)- MICRO-NEEDLING
Collagen Induction Therapy, utilizes tiny needles to make micro opening in the top layer of the skin, thus stimulating the lower layer to produce more collagen and elastin, just as you have to stress muscle fibers to build more muscle, this stress on the lower layers of skin will stimulate the body to self repair with more structural support.
Fine micro surgical steel needles penetrate the skin without major damage or pain, the micro trauma to the skin activates blood to the trauma site, which releases growth factors and in return creates the cellular matrix.
Synthesis of new collagen, elastin and Glycosaminoglycan's, or Mucopolysaccharides & Angiogesises ( forming of new blood vessels) will take place.
This procedure works the same way as that of a laser treatment but uses needles to injure the skin in a mechanical way instead of light or heat usage. Micro-needling is hugely popular in skincare fanatics and is considered the subsequent best thing the world of anti-aging.
You will quickly notice that your skin is smoother and softer and the full effects will be seen in a few months. Microneedling can be safely recurrent every 2 – 4 weeks until you get the coveted results. For collagen induction, we recommend starting with 3 therapies with 4 – 6 weeks between treatments. And 3-6 treatments for scar reduction.
The number of treatments depends on how each body responds to the treatments. Most clients see results after the first treatment.
