MicroNeedling/CIT
Transform your skin
What is MicroNeedling/CIT?
Collagen Induction Therapy CIT also called Microneedling uses a device to create micro-wounds in the dermis. These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing process, producing new collagen and elastin. The result is improved skin texture, laxity and the reduction in the appearance of wrinkles, stretch marks and acne scars.
These channels also allow Hyaluronic Acid or other serums to be driven deep into the dermis, increasing the skin utilization of nutrients by 3000%.

Home Skin Care Instructions After Microneedling
CLEAN – The evening after the procedure, use a gentle cleanser and tepid water to cleanse the face and gently pat dry the treated skin. Always make sure that your hands are clean when touching the treated area. Continue for 72 hours.
HEAL – Serums with antioxidants are recommended post treatment, as the properties are ideal to help heal soothe and minimize irritation of the skin.
HYDRATE – Following microneedling treatment the skin may feel drier than normal. Hyaluronic Acid is an ideal ingredient to hydrate and restore the skin back to perfect balance. It is also important to drink plenty of water.
STIMULATE – 2 to 3 days following microneedling, the skin starts to regenerate. Collagen-stimulating peptides are ideal at this time to continue the stimulation.
MAKEUP – Makeup should not be applied for 12 hours after the procedure. Do not apply any makeup with a brush, especially if it is not clean. If it is absolutely required mineral makeup or Oxygenetics is recommended.
PROTECT – Apply a broad-spectrum sunblock with an SPF 30 or greater. A physical sunblock containing Zinc or Titanium Dioxide is highly recommended.
