Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries that activate your skin's innate healing response — producing new collagen and elastin. The result? Improved texture, reduced scars, refined pores, and restored firmness. (Clinical Director, 19+ years), using professional-grade microneedling equipment.

Book Your ConsultationCollagen Induction Therapy (CIT) uses ultra-fine needles — typically 0.5mm to 2.5mm in depth — to create micro-channels in your skin. These controlled micro-injuries trigger your body's natural repair cascade: inflammation, collagen synthesis, and tissue remodeling. Your body responds by producing fresh collagen and elastin, resulting in smoother texture, improved elasticity, and visible scar reduction.
Unlike aggressive techniques that damage surrounding tissue, CIT is precise and selective. Your skin heals quickly, and the new collagen continues to remodel for 12 weeks post-treatment. This makes CIT ideal for scars, fine lines, texture concerns, and pore refinement — without the aggressive downtime of deeper resurfacing.
CIT is gentle yet powerful. Here's what to expect at each stage.
Our team evaluates your scar type, depth, texture concerns, and skin sensitivity. She determines the ideal needle depth, treatment density, and number of passes for your specific concern.
Topical numbing cream is applied for 15–20 minutes to ensure comfort. Your skin is cleansed and prepped for microneedling.
Using a professional microneedling device, our team creates controlled micro-channels at the precise depth needed for your concern. Most clients describe mild pressure and gentle prickling. Sessions typically last 30–45 minutes.
Your skin heals over 24–48 hours as your natural collagen production activates. Over the next 8–12 weeks, new collagen remodels and results emerge. A series of 3–4 treatments spaced 6–8 weeks apart delivers maximum transformation.
Not all microneedling clinics deliver the same results. The difference is in technique, needle selection, and aftercare expertise.
our clinical team understands how different scar types respond to different needle depths and treatment densities. She customizes needle length, passes, and intensity for your specific texture or scar concern — never cookie-cutter protocols.
We use medical-grade microneedling devices — not at-home rollers or cheap pens that deliver inconsistent results. Professional devices allow precise depth control and uniform micro-injury, essential for optimal collagen induction.
Fine lines? Shallow depth. Atrophic scars? Deeper penetration. Our team selects the ideal needle length for your concern, maximizing results while respecting your skin's tolerance.
Not all scars are created equal. Our team evaluates whether your scars are atrophic (depressed), hypertrophic (raised), or rolling, and tailors the protocol accordingly. This expertise separates boutique clinics from volume-based practices.
CIT combines beautifully with PRP Natura Gel, Secret RF, and even light chemical peels. Our team designs combination protocols that accelerate results.
CIT addresses multiple skin concerns through natural collagen stimulation.
Controlled microneedling stimulates collagen remodeling in atrophic (depressed) scars, gradually smoothing appearance and improving overall texture.
Microneedling stimulates collagen deep in the dermis, improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of expression lines and early aging signs.
CIT smooths rough patches, refines enlarged pores, and improves overall skin texture through controlled collagen stimulation.
Collagen stimulation tightens and refines pore size for a smoother, more refined complexion with improved skin clarity.
Regular CIT treatments stimulate collagen production, improving skin firmness, elasticity, and overall youthful appearance.
CIT pricing is transparent and based on treatment area and depth. Pricing varies depending on whether you're treating fine lines (shallow depth) or deep acne scars (aggressive treatment).
Most clients benefit from a series of 3–4 treatments spaced 6–8 weeks apart. We offer series pricing and maintenance packages to keep your results optimal year-round.
