Collagen Induction Therapy

Definition

The clinical term for microneedling — using controlled micro-injuries to trigger the skin's natural wound-healing response, producing new collagen and elastin.

Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) is the medical name for microneedling. The premise: when the skin senses a tiny, controlled injury, it immediately starts producing new collagen and elastin to repair the area. By creating thousands of these micro-channels in a single session, CIT triggers a broad collagen-rebuilding response that smooths scars, refines pores, and firms texture over a series of treatments.

ℹ️ Good to KnowResults compound — a single session refreshes; a series of 3–4 produces visible texture, scar, and firmness changes.
