Collagen induction therapy (CIT), also known as Microneedling RF or skin needling, is a cosmetic procedure that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin hundreds of tiny, sterile needles (Microneedling the skin). Microneedling is a technique for which research is ongoing but has been used for a number of skin problems including scarring and acne. Some studies have also shown that, when combined with Minoxidil treatment, Microneedling is able to treat hair loss more effectively than Minoxidil treatment alone.

Another method of Microneedling uses a derma roller which looks like a miniature paint roller with lots of tiny needles that is gently rolled in different directions over the surface of skin to achieve the same effect.

Microneedling works by encouraging your skin to make more collagen. The idea is that pinpricks from the procedure cause slight injury to the skin and that the skin responds by making new collagen-rich tissue. This new skin tissue is, in turn, more even in tone and texture. It’s normal for the skin to lose collagen via age or injury. By encouraging the skin to make new tissue, there may be more collagen to help make the skin firmer, too.

You may be an ideal candidate for this procedure if you’re in good health and have certain skin concerns that haven’t responded to home treatments or other types of dermatologic procedures, such as peels. This may also be a final step before considering cosmetic surgery for anti-aging and other concerns.
