Micro Needling – Medical Needling
Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT)Micro needling does not damage the skin. It protects the epidermis while stimulating the production of collagen & elastin, resulting in smoother and tighter skin. A topical anesthetic is applied for 30 minutes prior to the procedure eliminating the possibility of discomfort. After the treatment, the healing phase is short; 1 – 2 days, with a suntanned appearance on the skin. Micro needling is safe on all skin types, ages, photo types, all areas of the body and can safely be repeated for better results.
