Collagen Induction Therapy with PRP in Leicester

Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), also known as microneedling, is a treatment that stimulates your skin’s natural repair process by creating tiny, controlled micro-incisions. This triggers the skin’s natural wound healing response, activating fibroblasts. These cells increase the expression of collagen related genes found in DNA and provide instructions for producing collagen. When combined with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)—a concentrated source of your own platelets, rich in growth factors, the body’s healing and regenerative abilities are significantly enhanced.

All Our CIT Treatments

PRP contains growth factors that promote tissue regeneration, collagen synthesis, and cellular renewal, supporting both skin and hair health.

How it works:

Controlled Microneedling:
Microneedling creates tiny micro-channels in the skin or scalp, triggering the body’s natural healing and renewal response.
PRP Application:
PRP is applied to the treated area, releasing growth factors like Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-β), Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), and Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF).
Stimulation of Cells:
These growth factors activate fibroblasts in the skin to produce collagen and elastin, while in the scalp, they stimulate dormant hair follicles and improve blood supply to promote hair growth and follicle health.
Collagen Production & Tissue Remodeling:
Over several weeks, new collagen is formed, enhancing skin firmness, texture, and elasticity. In the scalp, this regeneration helps thicken hair and extend the hair growth (anagen) phase.
Enhanced Healing & Regeneration:
PRP accelerates tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and promotes healthier, stronger skin and hair.

Overall benefits:

This combined therapy harnesses the body’s natural healing powers for beautiful, lasting results.
