About Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT)/ Skin Needling
Collagen Induction Therapy (also known as skin needling or micro needling) treats acne scarring, stretch marks, blackheads, open pores, fine lines, hyper pigmentation and more. This treatment promotes the growth of collagen and elastin to deliver glowing skin.
The main reason CIT is such a popular option is the potential for zero downtime when compared to other cosmetic procedures. CIT requires no recovery and is minimally invasive. For many, CIT is the easiest way to reduce the look of acne marks, scars, and other facial marks.
Benefits of Collagen Induction Therapy

- Improves skin tone and texture

How CIT/ Skin Needling is performed
Your clinical therapist will use the Eclipse pen to create small perforations or micro channels in the skin. These channels stimulate collagen tissue production due to the healing response of the deeper skin layers. Depending on your level of sensitivity, a numbing cream can also be applied to maximise your comfort during the treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do cosmetic injectables and PDO thread lifts reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles?
Fillers and anti-wrinkle products are injected into the skin to smooth wrinkles and make them less noticeable. PDO thread lifts are minimally invasive ways to tighten and smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
Can micro-needling treat the delicate dark circles under the eye?
Yes. Micro-needling effectively helps to build the tissue within the stretch marks though the production of collagen. This builds up the indentation and reduces the colour of the stretch marks, in some cases making them disappear completely.
