We can treat upper lip wrinkles, stretch marks and acne scars using the revolutionary Roll-CIT (Collagen Induction Therapy) treatment technique!
The Roll-CIT technique involves using a sterile roller-pin-like object with small and very sharp needles strategically positioned along the rolling pin. The device is "rolled" over the surface of an anesthetized face creating hundreds of small puncture wounds.
The idea is that the small puncture wounds create micro trauma and micro inflammation in the deep dermis. The epidermis (superficial skin) is not injured and can return to normal appearance in as little as 5 days. The deeper dermis (where the collagen sits) is injured and recovers with stronger and more powerful collagen than pre-treatment. The tiny micro holes allows topical medicines to get deep down into the dermis. The mechanical micro wound coupled with the application of topical creams and ointments allows the skin to get a tremendous result, particularly in ACNE SCARRED SKIN!!!
Acne Scarred Skin is difficult to treat and typically improves less than 50% with lasers. The Roll-CIT new technique can improve acne scarred skin by 80%! The principle is that the "micro-needles" puncture the layers of the epidermis, which is the main obstruction to penetration of active ingredients in topical creams and ointments. Once this layer has been breached, the active ingredients can reach into the depths of the skin about 10,000 times more effectively than by simply applying the products on the top of the skin's surface. The higher the levels of vitamins A and C that can penetrate into the lower layers of the epidermis, the more collagen can be made. This allows natural collagenesis to occur and acne scarring, stretch marks and upper lip lines (even smoker's lines) to be effectively treated.
The Roll-CIT technique will help restore skin tightness in the early stages of aging, speed up the reduction of pigmented marks, thicken thin skin, smooth fine lines, soften scars and reduce dilated blood vessels. The advantages of skin needling is that it is not painful, it does not damage the skin and it can be used on all areas of the skin or body, including very thin skin. It is however, not suitable for use on the following skin conditions: active acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, severe solar keratosis and raised moles or warts.
The treatment can range from 5-20 minutes, depending on the speed, accuracy and density of the affected areas. It is cost-effective and can last for several years!
