Each session takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes. The number of sessions depends on your particular case and the recommendation of your clinician but generally 3-6 sessions are recommended.
For collagen induction therapy MAXIM uses local anesthesia to minimize pain and 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 interdermal 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.
Advantages
Collagen induction therapy can offer many benefits to candidates.
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 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.
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.
This procedure improves the absorption of minoxidil and other hair topical serums and steroids.
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.
