Collagen induction therapy (CIT), also known as micro-needling, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin. This process stimulates the body's natural wound healing response, promoting the production of collagen and elastin, which can improve the appearance of the skin.
Key Benefits:
Improves Skin Texture: Helps reduce the appearance of scars, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Enhances Skin Tone: Can address issues like hyper pigmentation and uneven skin tone.
Reduces Pore Size: May help in minimizing the appearance of enlarged pores.
Promotes Absorption: Increases the effectiveness of topical treatments by enhancing skin permeability.
Procedure:
Consultation: A consultation with a qualified practitioner to determine suitability.
Preparation: The skin is cleansed and a numbing cream may be applied.
Micro-needling: The device is used to create micro-injuries in the skin.
Post-Treatment Care: Follow-up instructions are given to ensure proper healing.
Considerations:
Results can take a few weeks to appear as collagen production takes time.
Multiple sessions may be required for optimal results.
Side effects can include redness, swelling, and minor discomfort, which typically subside quickly.
