Two glow-worthy treatments to add to your menu

Micro-needling (also known as CIT, Collagen Induction Therapy) has gained major popularity as a leading esthetic treatment in the beauty industry, largely in part to its effectiveness at addressing a variety of skin conditions and con- cerns, but also in its minimally inva- sive nature and holistic approach. With CIT, those seeking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles can look to their body’s own ability to generate new collagen. Estheticians seeking tools to minimize the appearance of scars and hyper- pigmentation choose CIT for the way it normalizes cell to cell communica- tion (let’s brighten up melanocytes), breaks up scarring in the reticular layer of the dermis, and does so safely, on ALL skin types!

Collagen-producing cells of the nat- ural human skin can secrete collagens which have the natural ability to heal the skin and repair itself. The production of these Fibroblast cells naturally fights against skin concerns, but as in most skin, its production is in little quantity. Oftentimes, our collagen producers go dormant in our twenties. It is on this important discovery and knowledge that the science of Nano-Infusion and Collagen Induction Therapy / Micro- Needling is built upon. These advanced modalities stimulate the production of collagen in the skin by safely and painlessly infusing active ingredients through thousands of superficial chan- nels in the skin with microscopic needle- like tips (nano-infusion) or with actual needles (CIT / micro-needling).

“This special treatment feeds the skin with the essential nutrients that are required to stimulate the skin’s natural ability to heal itself.”

This process allows the chosen product’s essential nutrients to feed the skin; combating wrinkles, acne, fine lines, stretch marks, and other skin blemishes, naturally.

As these microscopic nano-needles roll over the skin, they gently create tiny, superficial channels in the skin allow- ing for up to a whopping 97% product absorption. The product absorption rate is compared to the typical 3-10% absorption skin gets from topically ap- plied products. The pain-free stimulation also awakens collagen-produc- ing cells that heal the micro-injuries caused by the nano cartridges. The collagen-producing wound healers, and the increased production of these wound-healers created by CIT, results in an all-over healthier, rejuvenated appearance from the smoothing of the skin’s texture, fine lines, and wrinkles. The results are just amazing and no, the micro-channels are not visible to the naked eye as they begin healing almost instantly.

A smooth textured brightened, and glowing, healthy skin is simply the re- sult of a Nano-Infusion treatment. This special treatment feeds the skin with the essential nutrients that are required to stimulate the skin’s natural ability to heal itself. In turn, wrinkles, acne, fine lines, mild rosacea, and other concerns are corrected – painlessly, no numb- ing cream is needed. No downtime can be expected with a Nano-Infusion treatment, making it the perfect go-to for immediate, glowing skin with no downtime.

When clients are ready to kick up the volume with longer lived resuls and carve out some space in their sched- ule for some downtime (typically only 24hr, up to 3 days), CIT can be chosen

to amplify results, all over rejuvena- tion, and age management . During CIT, the needles within the one-time- use cartridge work on depths between 0.25mm up to 2.5mm, enabling the treatment to give longer lived results in comparrison to nano-infusion, while targeting other concerns such as scar- ring, cellulite, and skin tightening.

To add to the many reasons for Estheticians and consumers alike to love both nano-infusion and CIT, there are no known long term negative side effects! All possible side effects are only ever from improper client selection or improper post-care. Ingredients matter, especially with micro-needling. Stem cytokines and Hyaluronic Acid of high molecular weight are chosen for cor- recting the array of concerns that CIT / Micro-Needling addresses, including hair regrowth. It works the same way it is effective for skin rejuvenation, by the stimulation of stem cells while pro- moting activation of growth factors, transporting fresh oxygen and nutrient supply to the root of the treatment site.

Seeing the glimmer of grateful hope in your clients’ eyes may be the utmost reason of why you are so pas- sionate about this industry. It feels good to help ones well-being and make oth- ers feel good. Whether it’s the instant, radiant glow nano-infusion gives, or the graceful aging, scar removal, tightening and brightening CIT / Micro-Needling offers, both treatments are highly ef- fective tools capable of boosting your client’s results and your spa’s profit margin!
