Collagen Induction Therapy is also know as mirconeedling or skin needling. This is a minimally invasive treatment which creates thousands of micro channels in the skin, which will initiate the body’s natural post -traumatic inflammatory response. This results in formation of collagen and elastin. Resulting in improved skin texture and an increase in elasticity.
Collagen Induction Therapy is designed to treat the following concerns:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Dull skin
Poor texture
Congested skin/blackheads/melia
Dehydrated skin
Pigmentation/Melasma
Acne Scaring/ scaring
Sun damage
Prior to carrying out this procedure a topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the treated areas.
This can take a number of visits prior to seeing any improvement. Initially a course of 4-6 sessions are advised 4-6 weeks apart.
After the initial course has been completed, further sessions are required at 6/12 and 12/12.
After each treatment you will experience redness for the first 24-48 hours so important to not book around any big social events. It is also advised not to wear any make up for 24-48 hours.
