Also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure used to treat skin problems by stimulating the production of collagen. The production of collagen in the skin decreases with age. By encouraging the skin to make new tissue, helps to make the skin firmer. The treatment stimulates the body’s natural wound response, forcing your skin to heal. Pin pricks from the procedure causes slight injury to the skin and the skin responds by making new collagen-rich tissue. This new skin tissue is, in turn, more even in tone and texture. Because the needles used are so small and penetrate very shallowly into the skin, it is generally not painful.
The treatment is suitable for clients who are in good health and have certain skin concerns that haven’t responded to home treatments or other types of dermatologic procedures. The treatment time is roughly 30-60 minutes. The treatment’s biggest appeal is that it is well tolerated and comes with minimal downtime.
