Collagen induction therapy (CIT)
Skin Rejuvenation with Collagen Induction Therapy
Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) also known as micro-needling, or skin needling is a skin rejuvenation procedure specially considered for the treatment of acne scars, stretch marks, and wrinkles. The objective of treatment is to remodel the skin by generating new collagen and skin tissues for firm, smoother, more toned skin. CIT is completely painless procedure when performed at our clinic DERMA HEALTH LASERS AND COSMETOLOGY clinic .
Benefits of CIT Therapy
⦁ The response of the skin to CIT treatment is to supply collagen and elastin – two of the key building blocks of skin. Over time CIT has proven to improve the thickness and suppleness of the skin in these areas.
⦁ CIT is relatively less expensive alternative to laser resurfacing or cosmetic surgery for anti-aging and other concerns.
