WHAT IS COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY?

Treatment is performed using SKINPEN Precision an FDA approved System.

Medical Microneedling creates a controlled “injury” (aka microchannels)
This treatment produces 100’s of 1,000 microchannels (1600 microchannels/second) in the epidermal to dermal layers, which close 4 -24hrs post procedure
- Creating a wound healing cascade
  - Phase 1: Injury and Inflammation (redness/ slight bleeding)
  - Phase 2: Tissue proliferation -Collagen type 3 (temporary)
  - Phase 3: Tissue Remodeling 30-90 days -Collagen type 1 (permanent) & elastin
Leaving the protective layer intact
Produces minimal post procedure hyperinflammation

Treatment of:

Wrinkles
- With aging we have a thinning of the epidermal layer and a flattening of the dermal/ epidermal junction (DEJ) ( 0.018 aging versus young 0.037)
- Through induction of wound healing (medical microneedling) the body naturally creates a “thickened” epidermal/ dermal layers
Acne (for 22yo and older)
- Mechanically breaks down scar tissue
- Activates cellular enzymes (MMP’s =Metalloproteinases) which digest scar tissue
- Remodels scars through proper deposition of collagen and elastin
- Addresses discoloration by increasing blood flow
- Addresses post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) by stimulating growth factor
- CLINICAL STUDY: treatments 30 days apart. Recommend 6 tx’s for best results

STEP 1: TAKE THE FOLLOWING QUIZ TO FIND OUT IF YOU ARE A CANDIDATE TO RECEIVE COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY:

ANSWER NO TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS and you are a candidate to receive medical micro-needling:

Have you been diagnosed with Basal cell, Squamous cell, or melanoma?
Are you allergic to stainless steel?
Are you allergic to Benzocaine, Lidocaine, and /or tetracaine HCL?
Do you have a hemorrhagic bleeding disorder / or hemostatic disorder Such as: hemophilia A (factor VIII deficiency), hemophilia B (factor IX deficiency) and von Willebrand disease, acquired platelet function defects, Congenital platelet function defects, Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), Prothrombin deficiency, Factor V deficiency, Factor VII deficiency, Factor X deficiency, Factor XI deficiency (hemophilia C), ITP, etc?
Are you currently pregnant or nursing?
Are you currently taking a pharmaceutical that contains ISOTRETINOIN? (eg: Accutane, Absorica, Amnesteem, Claravis, Myorisan, Zenatane)
1. You have have been off for a minimum of 6mos (after a full 6mos you are eligible for treatment)
Are you on a pharmaceutical anticoagulant?
Do you have a collagen vascular disease (eg scleroderma etc) ?
Do you have a history of keloid scarring?
Do you have a history of shingles on the face?
Do you have giant cell arteritis/ Temporal arteritis?
Do you have trigeminal neuralgia?
Do you have a history of granulomas?

STEP 2: If you answered NO to all the questions above, call the office to schedule a 30min preprocedure appointment. The appointment will include consultation of the procedure, preprocedural review, as well as a physical demonstration of what to expect at your first appointment.
