MICRONEEDLING
Collagen induction therapy (CIT) is an aesthetic medical procedure that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles (microneedling the skin) in order to induce endogenous production of cutaneous collagen.
CIT is often referred to as "microneedling" or "skin needling" in media and literature, however it is important to distinguish CIT from other contexts in which microneedling devices are used on the skin, e.g. transdermal drug delivery, vaccination, etc.

A topical gel is applied to clean skin. In most cases your practitioner will use a hydrating hyaluronic acid (HA) gel. This is a soothing product that helps the MicroPen™ glide across your skin creating superficial micro-injuries designed to ultimately improve your skin condition upon re-epithelialization
As the MicroPen™ is applied to the skin, hundreds of superficial micro-channels are created every few seconds. Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) can stimulate the skin’s natural ability to heal itself. As a result, new collagen and elastin produce softer, firmer skin and can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, acne scars and textural issues.
