Face Haven Signature Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT™)

Wake up your skins dormant powers to treat scarred, wrinkled and lax skin and make new tissue without scars. This is Collagen Induction Therapy (microneedling).

CIT (Collagen Induction Therapy), also known as microneedling, is a treatment approach to help regenerate skin. This means that the method aims to improve the texture and appearance of the skin. Since the effect of microneedling is based on stimulating the body’s own (endogenous) regeneration mechanisms, it takes time before the results become visible. Within 3-6 weeks after treatment, the quality of your skin will show improvements. A few more months will be needed for the natural renewal process to take full effect. CIT (microneedling) can be repeated, provided that the skin is given enough time to regenerate between treatments. To achieve maximum improvement, we recommend a course of up to six treatments, spaced 2-4 weeks apart. Other alternatives are 1 treatment monthly, or 6 treatments every 6 months.

Medical Microneedling:

• Done by a trained medical professional using topical anesthetic

• Tiny blood vessels get pierced, releasing growth factors that rush to create new collagen

• Improves light scars and wrinkles, skin laxity, stretch marks and other marks

Medical needling causes bleeding BUT… It is the release of blood that wakes the repair shop up and starts the process of building more fibers- collagen and elastin.
