MICRO-NEEDLING COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY
 
The skincare industry is constantly evolving. In-office procedures and anti-aging ingredients have come a long way and like the latest techie devices, these advancements in skincare lend themselves to new discoveries that are quick, less-invasive and deliver amazing results!
 
Because technology and techniques are always improving, Incentives Organic Spa and Salon stays in touch with the latest and greatest breakthroughs to keep you on the cutting-edge of the most effective treatments.
 
The most recent innovation in skincare is called DERMAL MICRO-NEEDLING or COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY. Estheticians and clients swear by the results!
It is the perfect solution for stubborn skin conditions such as melasma, hyperpigmentation (pigmentation of the skin as a result of skin trauma)., rosacea, acne scars, UV damage, and stretch marks. What’s more, micro-needling treats all these conditions simultaneously. No other treatment can claim the same.
 
Although Dermal Micro-Needling or Collagen Induction Therapy is new for the U.S., for over a decade industry leaders in Australia, Europe and Asia have been using this simple procedure to get the kinds of results that were previously available only from light and laser based treatments.
 
So what is Dermal Micro-Needling/Collagen Induction Therapy? 
It’s a minimally invasive Facial Rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of a device that contains fine needles. The needles are used to puncture the skin to create a controlled skin injury. Each puncture creates a channel that triggers the body to fill these microscopic wounds by producing new collagen and elastin. The process triggers the body’s natural wound healing response within the skin, producing and depositing new collagen to the treatment area.
 
Micro Needling is most effectively used for:
Ø  Reducing scars caused by acne, surgery, or thermal burns.
Ø  Fading stretch marks.
Ø  Reducing fine lines and deep wrinkles.
Ø  Reducing hyper-pigmentation.
Ø  Tightening and hydrating sagging skin.
 
Depending on the area treated, an improvement in the skin’s appearance is noticeable after the very first treatment! Acne scars are less obvious. Age spots and fine lines are greatly diminished. The skin is softer, smoother and younger-looking. It has a fresh pink glow. Improvements continue with each successive treatment.
 
How does the treatment feel?
During the procedure, a topical anesthetic cream is used to keep you comfortable. The treatment is intended to deliver results rather than relaxation. You may feel some pressure and a slight prickling as the needles roll over the treatment area.
 
What is the downtime and side effects?
Treatments on thousands of diverse clients and varied skin types have produced results with no adverse skin reactions.  Yet, micro-needling offers all of the advantages of the most invasive and expensive treatments. Downtime is brief with the skin getting back to normal after only a few hours.
 
How many treatments are necessary?
Your age and skin condition will determine the number of treatments required to achieve the maximum effect but multiple treatments will be necessary for the most positive results. 3 or 4 may be recommended for mild to moderate skin conditions, whereas deeper scars and concerns may require upward of 5 or 6 treatments. An interval of 3 to 4 weeks between visits is typically recommended and maintenance is recommended every 6 to 12 months.
