Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT)

Restore Youthful Skin Naturally

Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), commonly known as microneedling, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that helps rejuvenate the skin by stimulating natural collagen and elastin production. It is an excellent solution for those looking to improve fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, and overall skin texture—all without the need for surgery or extensive downtime.

What is Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT)?

Collagen Induction Therapy involves using a device with fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, which triggers the body's natural healing response. As a result, the skin produces more collagen and elastin, leading to firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.

• Boosts Skincare Absorption – Increases the effectiveness of serums and other skincare treatments.

How Does Collagen Induction Therapy Work?

CIT works by creating thousands of tiny micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulates the body's wound-healing process and triggers the production of collagen and elastin. Over time, this results in firmer, smoother, and healthier-looking skin.

Collagen Induction Therapy Procedure

The microneedling process is safe, quick, and effective, taking about 45-60 minutes per session.

1. Consultation & Skin Assessment

The dermatologist will analyze your skin concerns and discuss your goals to determine if CIT is the right treatment for you.

2. Skin Cleansing & Numbing

The skin is thoroughly cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure a comfortable experience.

3. Microneedling Treatment

A specialized microneedling device is moved across the skin, creating tiny punctures that stimulate collagen production.

4. Application of Serums or PRP (Optional)

After microneedling, customized serums or PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) may be applied to enhance healing and skin rejuvenation.

5. Post-Treatment Care

The skin may appear slightly red (similar to a mild sunburn) for 24-48 hours. Sunscreen and gentle skincare products are recommended post-procedure.

The Procedure of Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT)

Before CIT

• The skin may show signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven texture, enlarged pores, or hyperpigmentation.
• These concerns result from decreased collagen and elastin production, leading to a dull and aged appearance.
• CIT Procedure: The treatment begins with a consultation, followed by skin cleansing and numbing. A microneedling device is then used to create tiny micro-injuries, stimulating the body's natural healing process.
• Optionally, serums or PRP can be applied to enhance rejuvenation. The entire session lasts about 45-60 minutes.

After CIT

• Following the procedure, the skin may appear slightly red for 24-48 hours, similar to mild sunburn.
• Over time, collagen production increases, leading to firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
• With multiple sessions, fine lines, scars, and uneven texture visibly improve, giving a refreshed and radiant complexion.
