Collagen Induction Therapy
Micro-needling, also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), is one of the most effective and scientifically backed skin rejuvenation treatments available. By creating thousands of precise micro-channels in the skin's surface, the treatment triggers the body's natural healing response — flooding the area with collagen and elastin for visibly smoother, firmer, more radiant skin.
At Dr. Christine Blom Aesthetics, we use medical-grade devices to ensure precise, consistent, and comfortable treatments. Whether you're addressing fine lines, acne scars, or simply want a luminous complexion, micro-needling delivers progressive, long-lasting results.
Your treatment begins with a thorough cleanse and application of a topical numbing cream for your comfort. The micro-needling device is then moved across the treatment area in a controlled, systematic manner. The full treatment takes approximately 60–90 minutes including prep time.
Immediately after, your skin may appear pink or flushed — similar to a mild sunburn — which typically resolves within 24–48 hours. You'll notice an initial glow within the first week, with continued improvement over 4–6 weeks as collagen production ramps up.
For optimal results, we recommend a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months help sustain your results long-term.
For enhanced rejuvenation, we offer micro-needling combined with Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) — a natural growth-factor serum derived from your own blood. Applied topically during the treatment, PRF penetrates deeply through the micro-channels, accelerating healing and amplifying collagen production.
