“Beauty is only skin deep” most of us have heard this famous saying, but what if we told you it’s so much more than that? Your skin health has a powerful impact on your emotional and mental wellbeing

… as poor skin tone, fine lines, and blemishes can make you feel self-conscious. There is a strong connection between looking your best and feeling confident, capable and empowered. There are many mental and emotional benefits to taking care of your skin.

Whether it’s scarring you wish to hide, unwanted pigmentation, or wrinkles, having treatments to improve these may give your self-esteem a significant boost, and who doesn’t want that, right?! 

Collagen induction therapy is most commonly used to help with anti-aging and skin issues such as acne scarring, uneven pigmentation, firming lax skin … 

Some other cosmetic benefits include:

• Skin regeneration
• Minimize fine lines
• Reduce pore size 
• improve skin texture
• Events out complexion
• Break up congestion 
• reduce pigmentation 
• reduce the appearance of dilated and damaged capillaries.

It works by stimulating the cells responsible for collagen and elastin formation to regenerate healthy collagen within the skin without surgery or injections and with minimal downtime.

This treatment works best when combined with a corneotherapeutic approach. 

Protecting and keeping your skin barrier intact will help reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and strengthen your skin. Having healthy, hydrated skin will provide optimal conditions for collagen induction therapy to work best for you.

Your skin needs to be out of harsh UV rays while going through the wound healing processes after your CIT session. Implement a complete inside-out approach with a balanced healthy diet looking after your gut health.

Anti-inflammatory foods and good supplements such as essential fatty acids, vitamins, antioxidants, zinc — in combination with good quality skincare will help to kickstart your collagen synthesis.

With expert precision, technique, and timing, Amiea Exceed Medical micro-needling creates optimal skin rejuvenation.

But needles going into my face?! Surely that must hurt!? A common question in the clinic! 

The patented tilting needle plate adapts to the skin surface, making the treatment extremely comfortable.

You can relax knowing that the treatment can be very comfortable with the superior design of both the EXCEED device and the sterile micro needle cartridges. Working with this German engineered and manufactured micro-needling device, I can create tiny and precise micro-channels into the skin working at different epidermis and dermis depths, with each target area delivering a different response and result. 

All of this is done without using any topical anesthetic or pain medication, so it’s safe for all skin types. In addition to enhancing collagen production, these needles, in some cases, will break up scar tissue and stimulate blood flow as well as increase fibroblast activity by 200%! 

When you come for a CIT treatment, you might find it a bit uncomfortable (compare it to a sunburned feeling) during the treatment, but after your treatments, feel entirely relaxed and invigorated, which is why many people cannot wait for their next session. 

Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) is a safe, gentle, and effective skin rejuvenation procedure that relies on the body’s natural ability to produce collagen. With the right skincare approach, you can slow down the aging process and have a healthy, youthful appearance.

Collagen induction or medical micro-needling is a safe and effective treatment for all skin types. There are many benefits to this procedure, including improved texture, reduced wrinkles, increased elasticity, and tightening of the skin, making it more supple. The best part? This treatment can be done with little downtime, so you don’t have to worry about missing work while recovering from surgery or other invasive procedures like laser resurfacing treatments. If you’re looking for an anti-aging treatment that has several benefits to your overall health as well as good results on your appearance, then collagen induction might just be what you need
