C.I.T – Collagen Induction Therapy
Collagen Induction Therapy (C.I.T) is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates collagen production to improve the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and overall skin texture. This procedure involves using a micro-needling device to create tiny punctures in the skin, triggering a natural healing response.
How Does it Work?
C.I.T. utilizes a micro-needling device equipped with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, increasing collagen and elastin production. As the skin repairs itself, it appears smoother, firmer, and more youthful.
Benefits of C.I.T
- Reduced appearance of acne scars
- Improved skin texture and tone
- Diminished fine lines and wrinkles
