Information


Fractional micro-needling therapy, also called collagen induction therapy (CIT), and percutaneous collagen induction (PCI), is a minimally invasive skin-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. Literally, the procedure allows for the precise creation of several million tiny punctures at controlled depths into the top and middle layers of the skin. Through the process of neovascularization and neocollagenesis, there is improvement in skin texture and firmness, as well as reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks.

We adopt the latest innovation in fractional micro needling using custom made design with the most powerful system, highest speed automated micro-needle system on the market, allowing us to offer the most reliable and reproducible results.

The results are long term and we use a specific routine in our procedure to ensure the recovery time is minimal and targets a diverse range of skin concerns.
