We’re coming into that time of year that’s perfect to start Micro-needling therapy, also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT). Seeing as we’re soon coming out of the Torquay summer sun and heading into less UV! Planning your micro needling sessions should start now..
This treatment consists of pricking the skin multiple times using a specially designed, needle-tipped pen that induces a natural regenerative process. The prickling creates thousands of micro-channels that stimulate the skin to produce new collagenase and to allow greater penetration of topical solutions and platelet-induced healing to take place. By increasing the delivery of the right ingredients such as vitamins A and C to the depths of our dermal cells the dermis is able to produce collagens and elastin constantly.
How Collagen Induction Therapy benefits:
~Supports synthesis of collagenase and elastin
~Reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation
~Minimises open pores, refines surface texture
~Reduces appearance of acne scarring and stretch marks
~Dramatically smooths and retexturises coarse thickened skins and strengthen fine fragile skins.
~Non invasive and no downtime
Additionally it is safe to use on all skin types and recommended that a minimum of six needling treatments are required for desired results spaced at least three weeks apart (longer if the epidermis requires more time). A maintenance programme of one treatment every three to six months may be necessary.
