Collagen-induction therapy is a treatment that uses a device to create thousands of “micro” skin punctures to stimulate the skin’s natural wound healing process. The treatment creates a controlled skin injury that will result in stimulating collagen and elastin production to aid in healing acne scars, diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and shrink the pores. The result is healthy and radiant looking skin with improved texture.
Designed forthe aesthetic provider who is interested in offering a high-satisfaction, minimally invasive skincare treatment with proven clinical outcomes--namely improvement in fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, appearance of pores, as well as overall improvement in the skin's texture and tone.
