COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY ( aka: Micro-Needling)
As each fine needle punctures the skin, it creates a channel or micro-wound. The controlled injury triggers the body to fill these micro-wounds by producing new collagen and elastin in the papillary dermis. In addition, new capillaries are formed. Known as a non ablative treatment, that the deeper parts of the skin are treated without removing the top layer. It is designed to treat various skin conditions such as fine lines and wrinkles, light scarring from acne and photo damage, and to improve skin color and other skin texture changes.
