Collagen induction therapy, also referred to as microneedling, nano-needling, or skin needling, is a cosmetic procedure that involves puncturing the skin multiple times using small, sterile needles. It is important to separate CIT from other contexts where microneedling devices are used on the skin.

When comparing the two, the key difference is the depth at which the needles can penetrate. Nano-needling involves puncturing only the superficial layer of the skin, known as the epidermis, while microneedling goes further into the deeper dermal layer.

Microneedling and Nano-needling is beneficial when wanting to reduce or improve on the following:

• the appearance of scars, including acne scars.
• the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• enlarged pores.
• the appearance of hyperpigmentation, or dark spots.
• smoothing uneven skin tone.
• improving skin elasticity.
• the appearance of stretch marks.
