COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY (cit)

The deeper layers of skin are gently treated by creating vertical ‘micro-injuries’ using state-of-the-art computerised micro equipment which use sterile micro-needle cartridges. The controlled micro-injuries created in turn safely trigger the body’s natural self-repair healing response mechanisms that result in collagen synthesis (release of growth hormones). This response synthesis results in the body regenerating and building normal healthy collagen, elastin, fibroblasts and other skin structures, that effectively replaces damaged tissues.

When treated correctly, CIT does not pose any risk of permanent scarring.  This highly specialised treatment allows specific topical active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the layers of the skin to further boost results.The result is smoother, firmer, younger looking skin.  

-Fine and deep lines/wrinkles
-Scars – including surgery, acne, burn, chickenpox scars, hypertrophic scars
-Enlarged pores
-Lack of skin elasticity, texture and firmness
-Sun damage and age spots
-Pigmentation marks
-Stretch Marks
-Peri-oral and marionette lines
-Male and female baldness

The needles only penetrate the epidermal layer, therefore the structure of the skin is not damaged and will not scar.  The epidermis heals in a matter of hours. Your comfort is ensured throughout the procedure with the application of topical anesthetic.

The initial skin reaction is similar to the appearance of moderate sunburn which disappears within 24 to 48 hours. Important aftercare home instructions will be explained on the day of the treatment.
