Minimally invasive procedure. Improves blood flow to the scalp. Can be combined with a hair transplant. NON-SURGICAL HAIR RESTORATION
Collagen induction therapy is highly affordable by its very nature!
Each session takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes.
We use local anesthesia, so you can get back to work the same day.
We start with a topical anesthetic. Then, we apply an FDA-cleared electronically motorized device. This device contains 14 microneedles set to a 0.25 to 2.5 mm depth. They extend to the interadermal layer of your scalp, creating a controlled trauma to stimulate collagen growth. Next, we apply a soothing balm or serum to avoid disrupting your day.
This procedure requires minimum preparation or follow-up, but we will provide you with written instructions. After this procedure, most people experience little more than a bit of swelling, redness, or bruising.
Microneedling (CIT) increases collagen production in your scalp. It also causes guided tissue trauma that triggers the human body's natural platelet response, driving growth factors and other valuable substances to repair your scalp. These growth components are known to be beneficial for the restoration of hair follicles and may improve the health, texture, and volume of your hair. Plus, this procedure improves the absorption of Fin#$%^&*(), minoxidil, and other topical serums and steroids. This procedure can help with Alopecia, Lichen Planus, and related disorders. It can also help stimulate hair growth after a transplant.

Collagen is a natural substance in our body. It helps build up our skin, muscles, tendons, bones, and ligaments. It also produces keratin: the primary protein that generates hair. As we age, the amount of collagen in our system naturally declines, but our body retains the ability to produce it. By inducing the scalp to produce more collagen we in turn prompt the body to produce more hair. CIT signals the body to create collagen in the scalp area specifically.
The CIT procedure involves the use of a roller equipped with tiny needles. Needle sizes range from 0.25 mm to 3 mm. The idea is to produce equally tiny injuries that trigger the skin's natural healing process, provoking the release of collagen and stimulating hair growth. The procedure is so fast that you can get it done in a single afternoon. It requires no surgery and produces no scarring. We recommend scheduling treatments every two to three weeks over a 90 day period.
To ensure that the process is as pain-free as possible, we apply a topical anesthetic roughly 45 minutes before the procedure begins. Many of our clients read a book, watch a TV show, or listen to a podcast while the procedure is happening. Some even take a nap. Most don't feel anything at all. There may be some redness or bruising after the procedure, but those are the only effects you should expect.
Those who complete the full course of CIT services generally show visible improvements in the thickness and strength of their hair within 90 days. CIT is an outstanding therapy for individuals suffering from minor hair loss. We also often combine it with other procedures to provide outstanding results. For example, we can combine it with scalp micropigmentation to create a natural look composed both of our medical grade pigments, and of your own natural hair.
As a non-surgical procedure, CIT is naturally very affordable on its own. Most clients can complete a full round of procedures for less than $1000. We offer package pricing on all treatments. Those who need help paying for their CIT therapy can ask us about our 0% 12-month financing plans to make it even more affordable.
CIT is an outstanding solution for people seeking non-surgical hair restoration treatments. If you're otherwise healthy with mild to moderate hair loss CIT alone may help you enjoy a beautiful head of hair. It can put an end to patching and thinning and can slow or stop additional hair loss.
After a full course of CIT treatments you should be able to see the results. Your natural hair should be growing in thicker and fuller. While CIT can't address specific problem areas, many people find that it's sufficient to address the spots they're most worried about.
There's no cutting or scarring to worry about, and you can go back to work the same day. The worst you'll experience is a little bruising or redness which tends to clear up in a day or so. The microneedling wounds are so small that they rarely even cause bleeding.
Other procedures can limit your style options by their very nature. But CIT promotes your natural hair growth. Thus, you can continue to wear your hair in any style that works for you.
Clinicians administer CIT treatment to ensure the highest standards of hygiene, care, precision, and results. Our clinicians are some of the best in their field, so you can trust that the procedure will bring you the results you're looking for. If we don't feel they will, we'll recommend a more aggressive treatment or a hybrid approach.
During the Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) procedure, our skilled surgeons at MAXIM will apply a topical anesthetic, so you feel no discomfort during the process and are free to distract yourself with something like TV. Next, a roller device with 0.25-3 mm needles is used on the scalp. The needles will extend to the middle layer of the skin. A soothing balm or serum will then be applied after treatment is finished.
The Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) procedure is an effective and powerful procedure that has several advantages over other hair related treatments. Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) is for one a non-surgical treatment, so you don't have to worry about the potential risks and effects of surgery like scarring. Because of the lack of surgery, it is a minimally invasive and fast procedure, only lasting for 30 minutes to 1 hour per session. Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) treatment can also increase the natural collagen production of the body and regenerate hair follicles while improving overall hair health. Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) also has numerous anti-aging benefits and improves absorption of minoxidil/Rogaine and topical steroids. Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) can be used to help with Alopecia, Lichen Planus & related disorders.
