Collagen induction therapy ( CIT ) also known as microneedling RF or skin needling is a beauty procedure that involves multiple stabbing skin with a small sterile needle (microneedling skin). CIT should be separated from other contexts where microneedling devices are used on the skin, eg. transdermal drug delivery, vaccination.
It is a technique for ongoing research but has been used for a number of skin problems including scarring and acne.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can be combined with collagen induction therapy therapy to improve yield. PRP is derived from the patient's own blood and contains many growth factors that increase collagen production. It can be applied topically to the entire treatment area during and after treatment of collagen induction therapy and/or injected intradermally to the scar.
