Collagen Induction Therapy, or CIT, is a revolutionary new treatment for hair loss. It is also known as Scalp Micro Pigmentation (SMP). Hair Transplant Surgery has been around since the 1950s and involves taking hair follicles from the back of your scalp where there are lots of healthy donor hairs and transplanting them to bald areas of your scalp. Unfortunately, due to the Follicular Unit Extraction method used in most transplants today, many patients experience further thinning or even have their hairlines retreat further after transplant surgery due to transection through the extraction process itself.
CIT uses dermaroller technology to cover large areas of baldness by replicating the natural hair growth cycle. The dermaroller creates micro punctures in the scalp that stimulate a wound healing response from your body. This, in turn, triggers a natural process called collagen induction which promotes healthy hair growth in the areas of treatment.
The dermaroller is a medical device with tiny rollers mounted on it at regular intervals, much like the ones found on the back of a standard pore cleansing brush. It’s used to create thousands of microscopic wounds in the skin without damaging it. These tiny holes create channels through which the skin can absorb ingredients more easily for faster and better results.
Collagen Induction Therapy provides superior scarring and an increase in density and texture compared to traditional hair transplants that use hair grafts.
Here’s how it works:
Patients having CIT treatment use a dermaroller instrument with 12 needles per linear centimeter to create very small puncture holes over the areas to be treated. This micro wounding is not visible and causes minimal discomfort in most cases. The patient then sits down and waits for 40 minutes while the body starts to go into an accelerated healing mode called collagen induction, which triggers new cells in the damaged area.
The doctors will help you decide on an appropriate course of treatment for your unique needs and goals based on your age, lifestyle factors, previous attempts at regrowing hair, and overall health.

Collagen Induction Therapy has been used for years in cosmetic surgery procedures such as wrinkle reduction, scar softening, and skin rejuvenation. A dermaroller can be used for many different skin problems since its unique ability to create micro-injuries allows it to trigger your body’s natural healing processes.
CIT is a breakthrough procedure for hair loss sufferers that will generate new hair growth by using the body’s own natural healing power instead of relying on injections or pills like other hair loss treatments that simply slow down or stop hair loss without promoting actual hair regrowth.
