MICRONEEDLING

ALSO KNOWN AS COLLAGEN INDUCTION / CIT

​

This advanced therapy is effective for aging concerns such as skin laxity, facial wrinkles and lines, lip lines and crows feet.  Acne scars can also improve from treatments as well as chicken pox scars. Pigmentation issues can be helped. 

General lack of skin radiance and firmness can beimproved with microneedling.  Pore size is refined, overall texture and tone are improved. Pre-treatment assessment and preparation here is essential.  Microneedling is a painless procedure due to the numbing cream applied.  This treatment plays wonderfully with the CO2LIFT and the Blue Peel BioRePeel.  

When scheduling your microneedling treatment please make arrangements to pick up your numbing cream from the Inner Glow studio.   

PLEASE NOTE:  This is not for first time clients. Schedule a Customized Glow Facial to allow for a thorough consultation and skin analysis.

Client compliance will boost the effectiveness of this (or any) treatment.  It is highly recommended you use the suggested professional home care.

  • Is this Treatment Right for Me?
    Collagen Induction Therapy can be performed on all skin colors and types, and is often preferred over laser treatments as there is no risk of burning and damage to the epidermis. This technique can be done on sensitive areas around the eyes, mouth, hands and chest. This treatment is customizable, to address your specific skin type and needs. Treatments are recommended in a series, one every three to four weeks for anti-aging and rejuvenation, every four to six weeks for scar treatment.
  • Who Should Not Get This Treatment?
    This treatment is not suitable for you if you: Have active bacterial or fungal infection Have a history of keloid scars Have used Accutane (isotretinoin) within the last year Have open wounds, cuts or abrasions on the skin Have Immunologic diseases, such as scleroderma, or collagen vascular diseases Are on immune suppressive therapy and/or cancer related therapy/medication Have history of bleeding disorder or are receiving treatment with blood thinners Are, or could be, pregnant or are nursing Diabetic or patients with wound—healing deficiencies.
  • Is There Any Downtime? Is It Painful?
    A topical numbing cream is applied for 20 - 30 minutes prior to treatment. It is completely painless. After the procedure, the skin will look as though you have a mild sunburn (red and flushed). You may also experience skin tightness and mild sensitivity to touch on the treated area. Total healing time depends on the depth of the treatment and the individual skin’s repair process. On average, patients are pink for two to four days. Some patients heal completely in 24 hours.
  • What Should I Expect After My Treatment?
    Most people notice a glow and radiant skin right after treatment. The natural repair process of the skin continues to progress over the course of several weeks. Collagen remodeling takes place over time and it will continue to improve for up to 6 months after treatment.
  • How Many Treatments Do I Need?
    Multiple treatments may be necessary every four to six weeks. If the goals are skin rejuvenation and improvement of the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, three to six treatments are recommended. Individuals with mature and/or aging skin may require a minimum of six treatments. After your initial treatment series, maintenance is recommended every two to six months. A programme will be designed specifically for you, and your skin care goals.
