Collagen Induction Therapy - now with less pain and downtime!

     Since introducing Collagen Induction Therapy to Omaha in 2009, Alternatives has continued to remain at the forefront of refining the treatment for maximum effectiveness for wrinkles, sagging skin, scarring, and more. Some of our contributions include developing skincare product protocols to complement CIT, integrating home roller therapy with in-clinic procedures, and now combining the new Dermapen technology with medical grade microneedle rollers.



 

CBS Philadelphia features CIT and new Dermapen

     “The #1 improvement to CIT using the dermapen has been the ability to change the needle size in different areas at any time. This is especially useful in areas difficult to reach with the roller such as around the nose, under the eyes, and around the lips. Also, it is less painful in those areas as well” A clinical roller only penetrates to one depth for the entire procedure, but being able to adjust the depth at any time makes the dermapen more versatile in the sensitive and bony areas of treatment. 

In a open comparative study of 60 patients comparing Dermapen to Dermaroller (a brand of microneedle roller) for the treatment of atrophic acne scarring (1), patients treated with the Dermapen unanimously felt that the procedure was much less painful than the Dermaroller, and the downtime was significantly shorter with the Dermapen.

     At Alternatives we have seen excellent healing of acne scars with CIT – just note that it cannot be used on any active acne.
