Collagen Induction Therapy in London (Archive)

Collagen Induction Therapy (Archive)

Please note we no longer offer non surgical aesthetic treatments but have kept the below info as part of our archives.

We developed our Collagen Induction Therapy treatment using microneedling to freshen and firm up the skin. In addition, we have also adapted it to treat acne scars, stretch marks and sun damage. Whatever your skincare concern, at City Skin Clinic we will create a bespoke Collagen Induction Therapy treatment plan for you.

At City Skin Clinic, we perform skin microneedling using a dermaroller device to booost the skin to regenerate itself. At the same time, we deliver a combination of peptides, vitamins and hyaluronic acid. These are specifically chosen based on your needs and delivered deep into the skin to induce collagen production. We love this treatment because it can be used for all skin tones. Best of all initial results are usually visible within 24 hours. To get maximum benefit we usually recommend a course of 3-5 treatments in total (with a 4-6-week interval between each).

Combination Treatments

If you have multiple goals that would benefit from skin resurfacing and microneedling; our combination approach may be the answer. We can combine Collagen Induction Therapy with a course of chemical peels. These two treatments work in synergy to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin. Collagen Induction Therapy also compliments and boosts the results of other skin reviving treatments like Botox and dermal fillers. Like all our treatments, we perform an in depth consultation then design a treatment plan based on your needs.

Recommended Skincare

Microneedling is an excellent way to boost your skin’s texture, firmness and elasticity. The effects can be greatly enhanced and maintained by effective skincare. We offer skincare such as Tretinoin alone or with active skin ingredients. You can access all this is through our online clinic. We can help treat acne, skin ageing, melasma and hyperpigmentation. Through our online skin clinic, you can discuss your skin concerns with one of our doctors. They will advise which of these products can help your skin and the skincare is delivered straight to your home. Your doctor will then monitor you through the virtual clinic to ensure you get the most out of your treatments.

UPDATE: Get Our Skin Treatments Online!

We’re excited to announce that we’ve transitioned our aesthetic skin clinic to an online prescription skincare service. Unfortunately, this means that we’re unable to offer in-office treatments like microneedling. HOWEVER, we are welcoming both new and existing clients at our online skin clinic. Our aesthetic doctors will continue to give the same expertise and high level of care. All from the comfort of your home. Through our virtual clinic, we provide personalised prescription-strength hair loss and skincare treatments using actives like Tretinoin and hydroquinone where appropriate. We treat conditions like hair loss, acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma and skin ageing. You will receive the same attention to detail, bespoke treatments and dedicated after care that we have built our name on.

Frequently asked questions

Prior to treatment we will prepare your skin with a gentle exfoliant then apply numbing cream to the area. Once the skin is numb, Collagen Induction Therapy is performed using microneedling with a dermaroller device that penetrates the skin with hundreds of tiny needles. As the skin has been anaesthetised, you will not feel pain (only touch or gentle pressure). We also deliver a micronutrient cocktail into the skin during the microneedling which has been put together according to your bespoke protocol.

At City Skin Clinic we place emphasis on safety. Firstly, we do not recommend this treatment for people who are on blood thinning medicines. This is because they have an increased risk of bleeding and bruising. Similarly, we do not provide these treatment for people with a weakened immune system as they are at risk of infection. In addition we ask all our patients to follow the post treatment advise we give them to. This includes avoiding picking at the skin or excessive exfoliation straight after the procedure to prevent scarring.

After the redness goes away you should start to see smoothing results within the first week. However, maximum results can take up to 6 weeks to see with continued improvement for several months as further collagen and elastin are deposited. In addition, to gain the full benefit from this treatment we recommend a course of 3-5 treatments for ageing skin. Moreover, problems like acne or stretch marks may require even longer courses. Hence it is important to be prepared to undertake a course of several treatments for more satisfactory results.

To get the most out of this treatment we recommend using a good moisturiser and Vitamin C serum in between treatments. We can provide you with advice on which products we recommend that can be purchased from any quality retailer. However, it is up to you whether you use them or prefer to continue using your own or another brand. Either way, we encourage a regular fuss-free skincare routine which we can design for you for no additional charge.

Please note that you are paying for the treatment only and no guarantee is made of any outcome. Refunds cannot be given under any circumstances, as the product has been used and the service has been delivered.
