Rejuvenation With Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT)

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a skincare treatment with tiny sterilized needles that create micro-punctures in the skin to stimulate collagen production.  The AcuLift pen has 16 tiny needles in its tip to make micro-channels (punctures) in the skin.  The micro punctures activate your natural wound healing process by boosting elastin and collagen production, which in turn reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and elevates the overall texture of your skin.

Who is it for?

Microneedling is minimally invasive and requires little to no downtime.  It is considered safe for all skin types and most people who are in good overall health.  However, you cannot be treated if you have active skin cancer in the treatment area, open wounds, a bleeding disorder, taking drugs with the active ingredient isotretinoin (Accutane) or are currently pregnant or breastfeeding.

What to Expect:

Before Treatment: If desired, topical anesthetic is applied before treatment to provide light numbing. 

Gentle Treatment: Physician formulated, organic, vegan serum prepared for your skin’s individual needs will be applied. The AcuLift™ MicroPen is then used to create controlled microchannels, eliciting your body’s healing response. This will remodel and rejuvenate your skin to provide a younger, more firm and radiant appearance.

Post Treatment: Following treatment your skin may appear pink or slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically disappears after 12-24hrs. You will receive a patient aftercare kit to accelerate your recovery and results. 

Results: Are sometimes apparent after one treatment and will improve over a series of 3-6 monthly treatments. Results will continue to progress for several months after your last treatment. Results can last up to 5 years!
