Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), also called Microneedling or Skin Needling.
CIT is similar to that of many other non-surgical skin- tightening procedures in that it aims to create a controlled Non- Thermal injury underneath the skin’s surface, thereby inducing the body to respond through the formation of new tissue layers of elastin- and collagen fibres (neo-callogenesis) as well as new capillaries for an improved blood supply (neo-angiogenesis) in the treated area. The skin plumps and thickens in response to this stimulus, ultimately reducing the appearance of scars, and fine lines and other skin texture changes. Whenever we can generate openings in the skin, we have an opportunity for topical to penetrate more readily through the channels created.
CIT is aimed at stimulating the body's own collagen production to reduce the appearance of acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, stretch marks, skin laxity and scarring. It has also been successfully used for hair restoration in cases of alopecia, or thickening hair.
