During treatment

There are a number of different methods of performing Collagen Induction Therapy so how your treatment is performed will depend on what method is being used.

Before you undergo any cosmetic treatment, it is important to have a consultation with a qualified practitioner to ensure you are suitable for treatment. This will be your opportunity to ask any questions you have about the procedure and for the practitioner to explain the pros and cons. A medical history will usually be taken and you will be asked to sign a consent form to make sure you fully understand what the procedure involves and any associated risks and complications. Once your practitioner has decided you are a suitable candidate, your treatment can go ahead.

The length of the needles used on a medical grade roller device for Collagen Induction Therapy will vary. The longer the needle, the deeper into the skin it will penetrate, and the more dramatic results you will see. A topical anaesthetic is usually applied before treatment to minimise any pain and discomfort. Your treatment can take anywhere between 10 minutes and an hour, depending on the area you are having treated.

As we have said, how your treatment is performed will depend on the type of device being used. With a roller device the needles will be rolled over your skin to create evenly spaced puncture wounds. With a micropigmentation device a single needle, encased within a hand-piece (much like those used by tattoo artists) is used to puncture the skin.
