If you're considering collagen induction therapy (CIT) or microneedling to improve your skin, it's important to understand the difference between these two treatments. CIT is also known as micro-needling therapy or dermal needling. It involves using a device to create tiny punctures in the top layer of skin. This triggers the body's natural healing response, which promotes the production of collagen and elastin. Microneedling, on the other hand, does not involve puncturing the skin. Instead, it uses a rotating device with fine needles to create a controlled injury to the skin. This also stimulates the body's natural healing response and can help improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scars.
