Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) with Prescription Growth Factor
About Treatment
As we age our skins collagen and elastin levels decrease, leading to skin textural issues that we’d often like to correct.
CIT is a proven way to improve skin texture, tone, signs of scarring and fine line concerns on all areas of the face, neck and selected parts of the body.
Common Concerns Treated by CIT are:
- Overall 'crepey' skin
- Wrinkles
- Under eye skin concerns
- Large pores
- Scarring, & acne scarring
- Sun damage
The latest advancement in this treatment is combining CIT with a Prescription Growth Factor.
CIT allows micro channels to be opened up within the skin allowing the growth factor to penetrate deeply within the dermis, and according to studies, stimulates collagen production by up to 43% over 4 treatments, dramatically improving tone, texture and overall skin health.
Studies support that optimal results are obtained by completing 4 treatments spaced every 4 - 6 weeks to increase collagen production leading to healthier, firmer skin that with age and over time, has lost its elasticity, tone and support.

The Procedure
During each 45 minute appointment, topical anaesthetic is initially applied to increase the comfort of the treatment.
Stage 1 of the treatment is to use a skin needling device to open tiny channels within the skin.
Stage 2 is the application of the growth factor medication. The microscopic channels allow the medication to penetrate deeply within the dermis, stimulating and accelerating the skins fibroblasts that produce collagen and elastin for healthier, firmer skin.
After the treatment expect your skin to have a mild “sunburn” look and feel for 24 to 48 hours, some mild swelling may be expected, especially if we focus on the under eye area for skin textural improvement.
