Collagen Induction Therapy (Microneedle)

Rejuvenate Spa NY in the Bronx offers Collagen Induction Therapy, also known as microneedling treatment, one of the latest techniques to restore skin’s tone, texture and elasticity. It is one of the safest and most effective methods for treating acne, hyperpigmentation and aging because it uses your body’s own healing processes.

Microneedling Treatment History

Modern Collagen Induction Therapy was first practiced in Europe in the 1980s. Swiss-French dermatologist Phillipe Simonin used microcurrent and acupuncture needles for skin abrasion to encourage the healing process. Microneedling began to gain popularity in the United States during the mid-1990s. The introduction of the needle stamp (1997) and roller (2004) have made the treatment much easier and more comfortable in both spa and clinical settings.

The Microneedling Process

Collagen Induction Therapy works by gliding a roller with small hollow needles across the skin. The needles create microscopic puncture wounds, and that revs up the body’s natural skin-healing processes. The treated skin is flooded with oxygen, nutrients and skin-building compounds like collagen from the blood, as well as nutrients delivered through the needles, which may include the following:

  • Aloe vera
  • Amino acids
  • Collagen
  • DMAE
  • Green tea
  • Hyaluronic acid
  • Minerals
  • Peptides
  • Vitamins

Collagen Induction Therapy is a European technique, and we at Rejuvenate Spa NY use both European and Australian products for our treatments.

What To Expect During Microneedle Treatment

Collagen Induction Therapy is one of the best treatments because of the long-lasting effects. Many clients notice an immediate glow after the treatment. A few days post-treatment, your skin may peel and become red; this is the body’s natural healing processes at work. Once the redness and peeling dissipate in about three to five days following treatment, you will notice:

  • Smaller pores
  • Clearer skin
  • More even skin tone
  • Improved firmness

And these results continue for up to six months after a single treatment! (Although, we recommend routine treatments to better maintain your results.)

Benefits Of Microneedling

Collagen Induction Therapy stimulates blood circulation, collagen and elastin production and new cell growth. When combined with the nourishing nutrients in the products we use, the treatment:

  • Reduces fine lines, wrinkles and pores
  • Reduces dark under-eye circles and puffy eyes
  • Tightens, tones and firms saggy skin
  • Fades acne scars, stretch marks and other scars
  • Eliminates hyperpigmentation
  • Hydrates, brightens and rejuvenates to improve skin texture and produce a natural glow
  • Stimulates hair growth (when performed on the head)

Microneedling also exfoliates and has antibacterial properties, so it helps eliminate acne.

Microneedling Treatment Preparations And Contraindications

Collagen Induction Therapy takes about an hour, but it can only be done on skin that is ready for treatment. In order to prevent complications or delays in results, you must:

  • Stop taking vitamins A and C
    • At least three days before treatment if taken orally
    • At least one week if delivered topically (in skin care products)
  • Not scrub your face for at least two days before the treatment

Some medications may contraindicate treatment. Please tell your estheticians about all medications you are taking during your consultation to ensure your health and safety.
