Collagen Induction Therapy
Microneedling
Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is an advanced skin treatment designed to improve skin quality by stimulating the skin’s natural repair process.
During treatment, extremely fine needles create controlled micro-channels in the skin. These micro-injuries activate the body’s healing response and stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin — the structural proteins responsible for maintaining firm, smooth, healthy skin.
As the skin heals, damaged tissue is gradually replaced with stronger, healthier skin with improved texture, elasticity, and overall appearance.
Microneedling is widely used to address a variety of skin concerns and is also considered one of the most effective treatments for maintaining healthy collagen levels as the skin ages.
About Micro-Needling
What Microneedling Can Improve
Microneedling can help improve:
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scars and other types of scarring
• Uneven skin texture
• Enlarged pores
• Hyperpigmentation
• Stretch marks
• Skin laxity and loss of firmness
Because microneedling works by stimulating collagen production, improvements continue to develop gradually as the skin heals and regenerates.
Preventing and Correcting Skin Aging
Collagen production naturally declines over time. As collagen levels decrease, the skin gradually loses firmness and elasticity, contributing to the formation of wrinkles and visible aging.
Microneedling helps address this process by encouraging the skin to produce new collagen and rebuild its natural support structure.
For this reason, microneedling can be used both to correct existing skin concerns and as a preventative treatment to maintain healthier skin over time.
Advanced Microneedling Technology
Treatments at Sonam’s Esthetic Touch are performed using the Dermaroller® TWIST medical microneedling system, developed by Dermaroller Germany — pioneers of medical microneedling technology and licensed by Health Canada.
The TWIST system operates with exceptional precision, performing up to 150 needle insertions per second, allowing for controlled and consistent treatment.
The device incorporates several advanced technologies designed to improve treatment performance and comfort.
Active Needle Retrieval Technology
Unlike many microneedling devices that rely on spring-based needle movement, the TWIST system actively pulls the needles back out of the skin after each insertion.
This technology allows for:
• smoother needle movement
• improved precision
• reduced pulling or tearing of the skin
• greater treatment comfort
SilkTouch™ Technology
SilkTouch technology reduces the amount of time needles remain inside the skin by combining a longer needle stroke with a very high-speed motor.
This allows for:
• faster punctures
• reduced treatment sensation
• a more comfortable microneedling experience
How Microneedling Works
Microneedling improves the skin through a three-stage process.
1. Controlled Treatment
During treatment, the needles create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin, generating controlled micro-injuries that trigger the body’s natural healing response.
2. Corrective Healing
As the skin heals, platelets, immune cells, and growth factors are activated. These signals stimulate specialized cells responsible for repairing and rebuilding skin tissue.
3. Skin Regeneration
Over time, new collagen and other structural components of the skin are produced. Damaged skin is replaced with healthier tissue that is firmer, smoother, and more resilient.
What to Expect During Treatment
Microneedling treatments are performed in a structured and controlled manner across different areas of the face.
A hydrating hyaluronic acid gel is applied during treatment to help the device glide smoothly across the skin while keeping the skin well hydrated.
The treatment endpoint occurs when the skin becomes evenly pink or red with small pinpoint bleeding in some areas, indicating that the appropriate depth has been reached.
Following treatment, a soothing mask rich in hyaluronic acid and skin-repairing ingredients is applied to calm the skin and support healing.
Recovery and Aftercare
Following microneedling, the skin may appear red and feel slightly sensitive for approximately 24–48 hours.
This is a normal part of the healing process.
During the first 48 hours it is recommended to:
• avoid hot showers, saunas, and intense exercise
• avoid direct sun exposure
• avoid makeup for the first 24 hours
• keep the skin clean and well hydrated
After the first 24 hours, mineral sunscreen should be applied during the daytime to protect the skin while it heals.
Each microneedling treatment at Sonam’s Esthetic Touch includes a professional aftercare kit with skincare products designed to support the skin during the healing process.
When Will I See Results?
Microneedling works by stimulating the skin’s natural regeneration process, which takes time.
While some improvement in skin texture and radiance may appear sooner, the collagen remodeling process continues for several weeks.
Visible improvements are often most noticeable one to three months after the final treatment, once the skin has completed its healing cycle. needs.
Recommended Treatment Series
For optimal results, microneedling is typically performed as a series of treatments.
At Sonam’s Esthetic Touch, we generally recommend three treatments spaced approximately 6–8 weeks apart to allow the skin to fully regenerate between sessions.
Your treatment plan will always be customized based on your skin condition and treatment goals.
