Micro needling also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), and percutaneous collagen induction (PCI) is a safe, minimal down time, cost-effective adjunctive treatment for acne scarring, fine lines, overall skin tone and texture, large pores, stretch marks, and even alopecia. It is an innovative way to boost your skin’s overall radiance and appearance on the face, chest, and neck.

Micro needling is perfect for anyone seeking rejuvenation or improvement of their skin condition with minimal downtime and in a non-invasive manner. It is also a wonderful maintenance procedure to keep your skin glowing.

Micro needling procedures create thousands of micro channels by puncturing through the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin. This temporarily makes micro-wounds in the skin, which in turn stimulates the body’s natural mechanism to heal itself, resulting in a stimulation of growth factors that generates natural collagen and elastin production. This can also aid with fine lines, firming, and pigmentation.  It has been shown to improve skin thickness and elasticity.

Micro needling has been shown to improve fine lines around the lips (“smoker's lines”) and eyes (“crow’s feet”), acne scarring, stretch marks, alopecia, overall skin texture and tone.

Because it takes 60-90 days for cells to turnover and collagen to be produced, it is typically 3-4 months to fully realize the improvements with these procedures. Continued improvement may be seen as the collagen thickens.

In-office treatments are suggested at 12 week intervals for a period of 6-9 months.
