Move your career or salon into Advanced Skincare with this 2 day Intensive Course. Collagen Stimulation Therapy™ (CST), Micro-needling or Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a cutting-edge treatment that harnesses your body’s natural powers of healing to treat many skin problems with outstanding results and minimal downtime. During this revolutionary procedure, a topical anaesthetic is applied to ensure a comfortable treatment (Patch test required). Then using a Derma Roller or Derma Pen containing tiny needles to create thousands of microscopic channels (tiny holes) in the lower levels of your skin, allowing the active ingredients to penetrate from the surface into the dermal tissue.
The body responds to CST in the same way it would react to an injury. The small amount of bleeding caused during treatment releases powerful growth factors which are part of a natural healing response, promotes the production of new collagen and also provides a more effective penetration of the active ingredients (200 times more) in the stratum corneum. Afterwards, the skin thickness is increased by up to 80%, scars are smoothed and stretch marks and the appearance of wrinkles are reduced.
Clients favour the minimally invasive treatment for a range of reasons, it is especially effective for improving signs of skin ageing, appearance of wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, scarring, slackened skin, stretch marks, dull skin, dilated blood vessels and even reducing cellulite. Collagen Stimulation Therapy™ can be done on all areas of the face and body and is suitable for all skin types.
