collagen induction

Collagen Induction Therapy, also known as Skin Needling, is a fractionated treatment that harnesses the skin's natural healing process to address a variety of skin concerns. This proven method stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, enhancing the skin’s overall structure, function, and appearance.

Using the advanced Dermapen 4 device, fine, controlled micro-channels are created in the skin, triggering an inflammatory response that boosts fibroblast activity, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. These precise micro-injuries also enhance the absorption of topical nutrients, promoting deep skin repair and rejuvenation from within.

Collagen Induction Therapy is highly effective in targeting acne scarring, fine lines, pigmentation, solar damage, and overall skin texture. This treatment provides visible improvements with minimal downtime, ensuring maximum results for a rejuvenated, radiant complexion.

how does cit skin needling work?

CIT Skin Needling utilises the advanced Dermapen 4 device to create precise, microscopic channels in the skin. This cutting-edge device stimulates the production of new collagen through a process known as collagen induction.

Collagen Induction Therapy increases the production of collagen and other healing factors by causing trauma to the skin. The Dermapen 4's controlled micro-injuries trigger the skin's natural healing response without damaging the outer layer, using tiny needles with a vibrational pattern of penetration, maximising results while accelerating the healing process.

It works in three distinct phases:

Phase I: Inflammation - The Dermapen 4 device creates precise, microscopic channels in the skin, triggering your immune system into a wound healing response. This process removes debris, increases blood flow, and begins to create new skin tissue.

Phase II: Proliferation - The wound is rebuilt with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops, ensuring nutrient supply and aiding the healing process.

Phase III: Remodelling - New collagen is restructured, enhancing skin strength and elasticity. The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels, leading to smoother, firmer skin with reduced scars and wrinkles.

By avoiding heat, the Dermapen method minimises epidermal damage, avoiding the risks associated with more aggressive treatments. It eliminates the risks of permanent structural damage, subcutaneous tissue damage, increased sun sensitivity, or hypo- or hyperpigmentation linked to heat-based or more invasive procedures.

expected outcomes of cit skin needling

Improved skin tone and texture
Reduction in the appearance of scars and pitting
Smoother, more even skin
Diminished fine lines and wrinkles
Enhanced skin plumpness and elasticity

post-care treatment

Expect mild to moderate redness, swelling, and sensitivity for 12-48 hours
Light bruising may occur for 2-3 days
The treated area may feel dry and tight for up to 3-5 days
Avoid sun exposure and heat post treatment
Follow your clinician's prescriptive skincare aftercare instructions

follow-up instructions

Visible results typically appear within 6-8 weeks and continue to improve over the following months post treatment.

We recommend a series of 3-12 treatments for optimal results, depending on the severity of your concern.

Specific regimes are tailored to your skin's needs. For younger skins, 3-6 treatments scheduled at 4 week intervals is ideal. For more Mature skins, 3-6 treatments at 6 week intervals is best.
