CIT and Exosomes Before & After
The CIT & Exosomes Process
Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) creates tiny little micro-channels in your epidermis. This triggers your body’s wound-healing process, generating new collagen in the area.
Simultaneously, exosomes are applied to boost the healing process, repairing skin and further promoting collagen and elastin production for improved elasticity and firmness.
The channels created during CIT will close within 24 hours after the treatment.

Patients having Collagen Induction Therapy and exosomes at Dream Spa Medical notice a glow to their skin immediately after treatment.
Visible changes to the skin develop over the course of the next several weeks. Your positive results can continue to improve up to 6 months after the treatment. Some patients only require a single treatment once a year to achieve optimal results. However, most patients receive a recommended series of anywhere from 2 to 8 treatments spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart. Results can last from months to a lifetime, depending on the goal achieved.
CIT works by stimulating your body’s natural healing processes, promoting improved collagen production. CIT is a highly effective treatment to address issues like skin texture, pigmentation, pore size, and other general anti-aging concerns. It’s also excellent for addressing stretch marks and scarring from skin trauma or acne.
This treatment uses an FDA-approved device that creates a series of tiny channels on the surface of your skin. This stimulates your body to send regenerative compounds to the treatment area, resulting in improved texture and tone.
Exosome therapy is the latest, most advanced biotechnology for aesthetic enhancement and anti-aging. The exosomes contained in this specialized serum have a unique ability to transfer information from cell to cell, like the body’s fastest mailmen. This improved cellular communication provides an incredible boost in results while simultaneously speeding up the healing process.
Pre- & Post-Care Instructions for CIT and Exosomes in Brookline
- Women who are pregnant or nursing are not contraindicated to receiving Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) with hyaluronic acid. However, we do not suggest this treatment with exosomes if you are pregnant or nursing. If you are pregnant or nursing and would like to pursue treatment, you may want to consult your PCP for clearance.
- We ask that you avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for 2 weeks prior to your appointment. Although this treatment is not specifically a sun-sensitive treatment, we will not treat “tanned” skin. We find that it is too risky to treat compromised skin in any way.
- Please avoid using self-tanners for 2 weeks prior to your appointment, specifically in the area to be treated. If you have used self-tanner outside of the 2 week timeframe, we ask that you please exfoliate the area to ensure no remnants of the product are left in the area to be treated. We will be creating “open channels” in your skin and want to ensure that any products that come in contact with your skin are approved and researched by Dream Spa Medical, as certain products and chemicals may trigger a reaction post-treatment.
- Your provider can help guide you on your specific products and make recommendations on what to avoid, but as a general rule, active ingredients such as acids (glycolic, salicylic, etc), retinol products (Rx or over-the-counter), or topical prescriptions such as antibiotic or steroid creams should be avoided 7 days prior to your appointment. The exception to this would be if you are using our suggested Environ Vitamin A treatment cream or serum (Youth Essentia A or Skin Essentia A). These products should always be used leading up to your treatment.
- If you are prone to Herpes Labialis outbreaks, we suggest pretreating with an antiviral medication for 2 days prior to your treatment and 2 days post-treatment. Dream Spa Medical is happy to provide you with a prescription, assuming that you are a candidate for this prescription.
- We ask that if you are currently taking oral antibiotics or steroids that you discontinue the medication for 10 days prior to your appointment.
- If you are currently taking or have taken Isotretinoin or any Accutane-type medications that you wait at least 6 months before pursuing any aesthetic procedures.
- It is best if you arrive to your appointment free of makeup, perfume, lotion, or deodorant in the treatment area.
- We strongly suggest pre-treating and conditioning your skin with Environ’s Vitamin A systems (Youth Essentia A and Skin Essentia A). This will greatly assist in your healing and results. Your provider will make appropriate product suggestions.
- We always suggest hydrating as much as possible prior to any treatment at Dream Spa Medical. It is a great way to help your body function at its best as well as help to accelerate your healing time and enhance results. If you are receiving Collagen Induction Therapy with PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin, be sure to remain fully hydrated for at least 3 days prior to and including the day of treatment.
- SPF cannot be applied for 24 hours post-treatment. We strongly suggest that you plan to have easy access to transportation to avoid direct sun exposure and to avoid being outside in the sun for the remainder of the day.
- Moderate redness that resembles and feels like a sunburn can be expected. This is an optimal clinical response. This sunburned appearance should resolve within 2 to 3 days. It will first fade to a pink color and then eventually transition back to your normal skin tone. Your skin may feel swollen and uncomfortable for these 2 to 3 days.
- Dream Spa Medical will provide you with a post-care treatment kit that includes Environ’s Vitamin A, C, & E Oil that is to be used exclusively for the next 3 days following your treatment unless otherwise directed by your provider.
- Your skin will feel sensitive and tight while in the healing phase. You may also experience flaking of the skin and dryness. We suggest having a HydraFacial treatment 2 weeks after CIT, regardless of the area treated on your body. This will slough off the dead skin cells and further speed up the regenerative process.
- It is best to avoid direct sun exposure for at least 1 week following your procedure.
- Always use a physical protectant SPF (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) and reapply throughout the day.
For Face and Neck Areas
- We strongly recommend ISDIN Eryfotona Actinica as a base in the morning and ISDIN Mineral Brush for reapplying throughout the day.
- Please avoid sunless tanning for a minimum of two weeks post treatment.
- You may proceed with any neuromodulator treatment immediately following your CIT. It is best to wait 2 weeks to proceed with any dermal fillers, as your face will be swollen and difficult to assess properly. We ask that you wait 2 weeks for any aesthetic services in the treatment area.
Collagen Induction Therapy is an extremely safe and effective regenerative treatment. We work with Environ products, which were founded by Dr. Des Fernandes. Dr. Fernandes has been a pioneer in the field of cosmetic needling, and we are grateful to learn from his teachings and apply them to optimize your results.
Combining needling with Environ’s incredible home care is truly a natural and effective way to treat so many of your skin’s regenerative needs. Based upon your desired treatment and outcomes, Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) is best done in a series of at least 3 treatments.
