Collagen Induction Therapy: How It Works to Rebuild and Renew Your Skin, Naturally.

Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), also known as microneedling, is one of the most effective, non-surgical treatments for rebuilding healthy new skin tissue. Whether you’re dealing with stretch marks from pregnancy or weight changes, acne scars, wrinkles, skin laxity, or uneven texture, CIT works by harnessing your body’s natural ability to heal and regenerate.

How Collagen Induction Therapy Works

The treatment uses a professional-grade microneedling pen with sterile, ultra-fine pins that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These precise punctures trigger your body’s wound-healing cascade, which stimulates the production of:

• Collagen – the protein responsible for skin firmness

• Elastin – the protein that gives skin its bounce and flexibility

• New capillaries – improving blood flow and nutrient delivery to the skin

Over the following weeks, your skin replaces damaged tissue with fresh, healthy, and tighter skin—reducing scars, smoothing lines, and improving texture.

Why We Use Hyaluronic Acid Instead of PRP

Some clinics pair microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), but here’s the science: the wound-healing process triggered by microneedling already draws your own blood and plasma to the treatment area naturally. Adding PRP is often unnecessary.

Instead, at Renew Laser & Aesthetics, we infuse medical-grade Hyaluronic Acid (HA) during the procedure. HA deeply hydrates, plumps, and supports collagen formation without the extra cost or invasiveness of a blood draw—giving you faster visible results and comfort.

How Many Treatments Are Needed?

Results vary depending on your skin condition:

• Mild texture & fine lines: 3 treatments, 4–6 weeks apart

• Acne scarring or moderate wrinkles: 4–6 treatments

• Stretch marks & deeper scars: 6+ treatments for optimal results

Why more treatments may be needed:

• Mature skin produces collagen more slowly

• Excessive laxity requires more tissue remodeling

• Deeper wrinkles/scars need multiple collagen-building cycles

  
  

Why Professional Microneedling is Essential

Not all microneedling is the same. At-home rollers often cause more harm than good:

• Rollers create triangular “wedge” cuts, not clean pinpricks—leading to tears, prolonged healing, and possible scarring

• Non-sterile equipment can introduce bacteria, causing infection

• Inexperienced technique can result in uneven depth, bruising, or hyperpigmentation

A professional microneedling pen provides precise, vertical microchannels that heal evenly and predictably, ensuring maximum results with minimal downtime.

Pre-Treatment Expectations

• Arrive with clean skin (no makeup, sunscreen, or lotions)

• Avoid retinoids, exfoliants, or harsh actives for 3–5 days prior

• Hydrate well and avoid excessive sun exposure

  
  

Post-Treatment Care (Most Important Step!)

Proper aftercare determines your results:

• Expect mild redness and warmth for 24–48 hours

• Avoid makeup, heavy sweating, and sun for at least 48 hours

• Use only gentle, hydrating, and sterile products recommended by your provider

• Never pick or scratch the skin as it heals

• Daily SPF is non-negotiable

  
  

Recovery Time

• Initial healing: 24–72 hours of redness/pinkness

• Visible improvement: 2–4 weeks

• Full collagen remodeling: up to 6 months
