Do you want to target certain skin conditions that otherwise typical skincare products and services fail to treat? Then CIT is for you.

One of my favorite services to perform in the treatment room is Collagen Induction Therapy. Also known as CIT or microneedling, this skin treatment is guaranteed to get results even after just one treatment. And the coolest part? Because this treatment works with your body and its natural ability to heal and renew, results continue to show up for up to 6 months after a single treatment and up to 12 months after a series of CIT treatments. So what is CIT, how is it performed and what skin conditions can be treated? Let's dive in...

What is Collagen Induction Therapy?

By creating a "controlled injury" to the skin, the body's natural healing process stimulates the repair and reproduction of collagen and elastin to target advanced skin conditions that otherwise other products and treatments fail to treat.

How is CIT performed?

A sterile 12-tip needle cartridge is used to create micro openings in the top layers of the skin to repair and renew collagen and elastin without causing major damage or pain.

What are the benefits of Collagen Induction Therapy?

Fine lines & wrinkles are softened & smoothed

Hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone is lightened and brightened

Enlarged pores are minimized

Scars are improved and less visible

Skin immediately appears and feels tight

Increased smoothness & hydration

Thicker skin

Better micro-circulation

Is there downtime with CIT?

Skin will be red and tender for 24-48 hours post treatment followed by slight dryness, flakiness and/or itchiness for several days. Total healing time is 5 -7 days.

What skin conditions are treated with CIT?

Scarring (surgical, thermal and acne)

Stretch marks

Enlarged pores

Dyspigmentation (due to sun damage and/or hormonal imbalances)

Fine lines and wrinkles

Loose skin

Dehydrated skin

Here are some before and after pictures of Sweet Cheeks clients who performed a series of CIT treatments. Their results are mindblowing 🤯

Collagen Induction Therapy is best done in a series of 3-4 treatments performed every 3 weeks and at least 1 treatment for yearly maintenance.

Do you have certain skin conditions such as acne scarring, sun damage, enlarged pores, dull/tired/lackluster/loose skin? Collagen Induction Therapy is the best option for seeing quick and lasting changes in the skin.
