Collagen Stimulation TherapyTM – Unlocking Your Body’s Powers of Regeneration.
Collagen Stimulation Therapy (CIT) ), also known as skin needling or micro-needling, is an innovative treatment that harness your body’s natural powers of healing to tighten skin and achieve incredible results. It is especially effective for addressing lines and wrinkles as well as sun damage, scarring, stretch marks, uneven skin tone . Collagen Stimulation TherapyTM can be done on all areas of the face and body and is suitable for all skin types.
The treatment uses tiny needles or micro-needles on a medical-grade device that is moved over the skin to create tiny, evenly-spaced puncture wounds on the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural collagen production by generating a wound healing response.
By damaging the skin, you encourage the body to produce new collagen and elastin, which helps it thicken and ‘plump up’.
