FAQ

The procedure typically takes 30 – 45 minutes in-clinic. A topical anaesthetic may be applied prior to your treatment if necessary. You may need to add a little extra time if topical anaesthetic is used.

Immediately after the treatment your skin will most likely be red and flushed (similar in appearance to a mild sunburn). You may also experience skin tightness and slight sensitivity to touch on the area being treated. This will reduce over the following few hours after your treatment and will have completely subsided by the next day. You may experience slight redness for a few days post-treatment. 3 to 5 days after your treatment, your skin is likely to feel a little dry and be flaky in some areas. This is due to the fast cellular turn over post treatment.

Visible results are evident between 5 to 8 weeks post your derma CIT treatment. However one of the most exciting things about CIT is that your results will continue to improve over the next 12 months as the new collagen and elastin settles, strengthens and rejuvenates your skin from within. Results will vary from person to person, but to give your skin the best results, the correct topical skincare prior to the commencement of your course of CIT is vital.

Each person’s skin conditions are different and require differing levels of treatment. Your skin treatment therapist will determine the number of treatments to undergo. The number of treatments will be determined by your skin goals (i.e. erase visible pigmentation) and also by the health of your skin, making it important to prepare your skin prior to your first derma CIT treatment.

This is a combined treatment with derma CIT and Light Emitting Diodes (LED). LED use post-treatment will speed up recovery, reduce inflammation and provide additional benefits over derma CIT alone.
