Why is it so difficult to find information on collagen induction therapy? How long has this therapy been around? How long does it last? Thanks!
Answer: Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) is what happens with subcision and micro needling. Hello ninaself,Thanks for the question.Collagen Induction Therapy, or CIT, refers to the effect that micro injury to the surface of the skin results in new collagen formation. It is most commonly spoken about in the minimally invasive arena of micro needling treatments.Anytime there is injury to the skin, repair occurs through the formation of new collagen. Micro needling uses either a roller device or an automated pen to make tiny holes in the skin. It is mechanical damage only so it is safe for all skin types.The technology has shown promise in wrinkle reduction, acne scar improvement, and pigment reduction.Several treatments spaced 3-6 weeks apart are necessary for best results.Risk of treatment is small and down times are short so it works well in out busy modern lives.Good luck,Dr. Shah

Answer: Collagen Induction Therapy Collagen Induction Therapy(CIT) is one of the most exciting advances in skin care in the last 20 years. Microneedling has been around and very popular in Europe for a long time. The benefits of it have just really hit the US market in the past 5-7 years. The term CIT refers to a deeper treatment. It is not your home roller treatment. In our office we will often combine it with platelet rich plasma to supercharge the process. The treatment has shown improvement for patients in both sundamaged skin and acne scarring. The procedure is often performed in a series of three, spaced a month apart. Recovery time is usually about 2 days.

Answer: Info on Microneedling Microneedling has been around for a while and offers wonderful results. It can be done with Hyaluronic acid or your own blood that is spun down , and plasma is placed on the face. It is then injected with small needles on the tip of the device that inject the plasma in the tissue. Platelet Rich Plasma ( PRP) is a very potent stimulator of collagen. The hormones/ chemicals in your blood along with the platelets are supercharged to stumulate collagen. Our clinets love the results with the Eclipse Micropen.
