A CIT can be performed on ALL skin areas of your body. Unlike ablative procedures a CIT can be performed repeatedly.
Depending on your skin condition, and to achieve maximum possible results, we recommend an initial treatment cycle of 3 to 4 treatments. As the new collagen formation needs time to mature, we propose an interval of 6 weeks before the next CIT is
commenced. As your skin continues to age an annual refresher CIT should be considered. Between the CITs and after the last one, you can support the results of the CIT by using the Home Care Dermaroller® in combination with high-end peptide serums.

Collagen Induction Therapy FAQ
NON-SURGICAL FACIAL REJUVENATION
·
A sterile roller with micro-needles is gently passed over the area to create channels into the deeper layer of the skin. This creates minute injury to the dermis, which results in the stimulation of the body’s own production of collagen. The procedure takes from ten minutes to an hour, depending on the area to be treated. Results can take three to nine months to fully appear as the body takes time to generate new collagen. The patient sees continual improvement. A controlled, double-blind study has shown an average of 206% of new, naturally produced elastin and collagen fibers 6-8 weeks after a Collagen Induction Therapy. In contrast to conventional treatments like laser resurfacing or peels, Collagen Induction Therapy is non-ablative and achieves results without burning or removing the superficial epidermis.
The procedure usually requires anesthetic cream in some areas and is effective after 30-45 minutes

WHERE AND WHEN SHOULD THE DERMAROLLER NOT BE USED?
The dermaroller should not be used on pustular acne lesions, active herpes outbreaks, or any other acute infection of the skin.
DERMAROLLER HAS MET ALL OF THE FDA REQUIREMENTS FOR COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION IN THE USA.
All models, except the home-use model, are disposable, single use. The rollers are assembled by hand with the micro-points (200 needles) inserted one-by-one by skilled factory workers using medical grade adhesive. It takes nearly an hour to assemble one individual roller. Following assembly, they are packaged, sealed and sent through gamma sterilization.
It’s against manufacturer recommendations to re-cycle the instruments as re-sterilizing affects stainless steel and the adhesion bonding. The needles will rust and bend with overuse and will also become dull. Besides sharpness and needles becoming dislodged with re-cycled rollers, one of the gravest concerns is DNA trapped at the base of the needle and plastic roller that transfers to the next procedure performed.
Scar-tissue tension is reduced by perforation
Surrounding intact tissue is not damaged
Repigmentation of skin
Needling can be repeated
Lifts inner atrophic tissue towards skin level
Scar edges become softer
The only type of scar that Dermaroller has not had a positive result with is keloid.
Typical scars treated with Dermaroller include: Acne scars, hair transplantation scars, surgical abdominal scars (appendectomy, Cesarean section, abdominoplasy, etc), thoracic scars, breast plastic operation scars (augmentation, reduction, reconstruction); post liposuction scars; orthopedic scars; burn contractures.

"Be prepared to be rolled over! The Dermaroller is considered to be the modern-day
magic wand of skin care. According to the makers, you can see and feel immediate
results just by rolling your Dermaroller over your face to smooth on your favorite
skin-care product. The Dermaroller has nearly 200 stainless-steel micropoints that
painlessly create thousands of tiny channels in the outer layer of the skin, allowing
vitamins, enzymes and lipids to penetrate more deeply."
