C.I.T MICRONEEDLING

THE LOWDOWN 

​

WHO IS SUITABLE? 

Microneedling is a widely popular anti-ageing procedure and suitable for many skin types. Regular Microneedling has been proven to help reduce or fade scars, wrinkles, or hyperpigmentation, if you are wanting any of these you would likely make a good candidate for treatment. Those with ongoing skin infections need to resolve the condition prior to undergoing skin needling. You may not be an ideal candidate for skin needling if you: Are pregnant

Have certain skin diseases, such as psoriasis or eczema, some severe acne or rosacea cases may need avoidance of skin needling. Have open wounds or overly sensitive skin that burns easily

Have had radiation therapy recently or any skin peels. Have a history of skin scars.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS IS BEST?

CIT Microneedling can be safely performed every 4 to 6 weeks until you get desired results, this may vary person to person wanting longer or shorter breaks between, the shortest break between treatments is 7-10 days and this is only if requested and skin is reacting ok to treatments. If you are looking for noticeable changes and improvements with collagen induction therapy then 3 treatments are a good start and 3-6 treatments are recommended, some may choose 12 for that dramatic skin glow. How many treatments you need depend on how the skin responds to Microneedling.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER?

Avoiding strenuous exercise, saunas, spas during the healing time is also advised. Gentle cleansers only to be used and Aloe vera or natural cooling gels can be soothing for warm skin.

WILL IT HURT?
