Collagen Induction Therapy

New, all natural, anti-wrinkle treatment in our clinic performed by certified naturopath Doctor Simona Scurtu

THE AGING PROCESS VARIES FROM PERSON TO PERSON. As the years go by your skin’s structure changes – even for those who follow a strict anti-aging regime.

Natural collagen and fat loss contribute to expression lines and lax skin. Fortunately, it’s only responsible for about 10% of the visible signs of aging. 90% of the signs of aging are due to these outside influences and of the 90%, 80% is due to the sun.

Beautiful skin

We may not be able to stay youthful forever, but we can fend off many of the signs of aging by just altering our lifestyles. An anti-aging regime focuses on improving your lifestyle, making sure that you have a balanced and nutritious diet, exercise regularly, stop smoking, and avoid excess sun exposure.

Slowing down the visible signs of aging takes an internal and an external beauty approach.

IMPROVEMENTS YOU CAN SEE AND FEEL

Skin micro-needling or collagen induction therapy (CIT) is a non-ablative, all-natural, non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of Advanced Cell Stimulation micro-needling tool – ACS-PEN®  without the use of topical anesthetic. The treatment used in Europe for years.

Fine needles are used to create controlled skin punctures. Each puncture creates a channel that triggers the body to fill these microscopic wounds by producing new collagen and elastin.

Repeated treatment improves skin texture and firmness, reduces wrinkles and fine lines for a more youthful look as well as reduces scars, pore size, and stretch marks.

PROFESSIONALS RECOMMEND CIT TO

  • Reduce scars (acne, burn scars, stretch marks)

  • Tighten sagging skin
  • Restore hair

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

Generally, a minimum of 3 treatments is required to achieve the optimum rejuvenation of an area. When treating scarring, at least 5-6 treatments would generally be required. The treatments are performed 6 – 8 weeks apart.

MYERS COCKTAIL WITH EXTRA VITAMIN C AND ZINC

After each treatment, Myers Cocktail is given.

Myers Cocktail, contrary to its name, is not a drink but an intravenously administered nutrient and vitamin “IV push”.

Due to the digestive process nutrients, taken orally, will get lost through poor absorption making it impossible to achieve the needed concentration in the blood. On the other hand, the intravenous method allows for an instant intake of vital nutrients directly into the bloodstream bringing them into the cells.

The nutrients in “the Myers” are a high concentration of a combination of nutrients used in the treatment of various conditions. The standard Myers cocktail entails magnesium, calcium, B12, B6, B5, B complex and vitamin C.

High concentrations of these vitamins are necessary to have a beneficial effect for a faster recovery after treatments.

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?

The first week after the treatment you may get some skin peeling which helps lighten pigmentation or scarring and the skin looks more hydrated.

The results are gradual as collagen production takes time, most clients report a gradual improvement in their skin colour and texture over 6 – 8 week period. The results are integrated as each consecutive treatment is performed.

Also, individual results may vary, it is really important to follow your practitioner’s advice, apply creams at home and plan your follow-up treatments to see the best effects.
