SKIN NEEDLING
Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT)
With minimal downtime, our professional grade Twist Device delivers the most effective and comfortable Collagen Induction Therapy, to achieve ultimate youthful skin.
HOW IT WORKS
Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) with Skin Needling by Twist Device uses tiny fine needles to prick the outer layers of the skin. This stimulates the body to produce collagen to heal the micro-wounds caused by the needles. When the new collagen is produced, the skin becomes smoother and appears more youthful. Skin Needling can even be used to improve the appearance of scarring, stretch marks, and wrinkles.

WHAT TO EXPECT
During your treatment the most common sensation is a warm, scratching feeling as the tool is moved around the face, but should always be tolerable.. This sensation is more evident in certain areas such as the forehead and nose.
Following your treatment, you can expect some redness and slight swelling around the areas that have been treated. Your skin may feel warm to touch, like a mild sunburn sensation. This should last no longer than a day or two.
Skin Needling stimulates your body to produce natural collagen and elastin, which continues for up to 12 weeks after your treatment.
