Collagen Induction Facial

(RRT + SkinPen® Microneedling)

At The Skin Specialist Nurse in Buckingham, we’re proud to offer the Collagen Induction Facial – a revolutionary skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with the healing properties of your body’s own blood cells (RRT). This advanced procedure is performed exclusively by registered nurses, ensuring clinical excellence and the highest standards of care.

Whether you’re struggling with fine lines, acne scarring, or dull, tired-looking skin, the Collagen Induction Facial offers a natural, effective solution that stimulates your skin’s own regenerative abilities to restore a smoother, firmer, and more radiant complexion.

What is a Collagen Induction Facial?

The Collagen Induction Facial, made famous by celebrities seeking non-surgical skin rejuvenation, is a powerful combination of SkinPen® microneedling and RRT therapy.

• Microneedling uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. This triggers the body’s healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production.
• Regenerative Repair Therapy (RRT) is extracted from a small sample of your blood, then applied to the skin during the microneedling process. Rich in growth factors, RRT enhances cellular renewal and tissue repair.

By combining these two techniques, the treatment allows RRT to penetrate deeply into the skin, accelerating the healing process and significantly improving results.

Benefits of the Collagen Induction Facial

The Collagen Induction Facial is suitable for all skin types and is designed to improve the overall tone, texture, and health of your skin. Clients often seek this treatment to address:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scarring and general scarring
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Sun damage and pigmentation issues
• Enlarged pores
• Dull, dehydrated skin

Most clients notice a visible improvement in skin radiance, firmness, and texture after just one session, with optimal results achieved after a course of treatments.

The Procedure: What to Expect

1. Initial Consultation
   We begin with a thorough skin assessment to determine whether the Collagen Induction Facial is suitable for your concerns. We’ll also discuss your skin goals and treatment expectations.
2. Blood Collection
   A small blood sample is drawn from your arm, which is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the RRT from the red blood cells.
3. Microneedling with SkinPen®
   Using the SkinPen®, our nurses create tiny channels in the skin to stimulate healing.
4. Application of RRT
   The concentrated RRT is then applied to the treated area, where it is absorbed into the deeper layers of the skin, enhancing regeneration.

The entire procedure lasts around 60–90 minutes and requires minimal downtime. Some redness and sensitivity may be experienced post-treatment, similar to mild sunburn, but this usually resolves within 24–48 hours.

Aftercare Advice

Post-treatment care is essential for achieving the best results:

• Avoid touching your face or applying makeup for at least 24 hours
• Use a gentle, hydrating cleanser and fragrance-free moisturiser
• Apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily, even indoors
• Avoid direct sunlight, swimming, and intense workouts for 48 hours
• Do not use exfoliants, retinols, or active skincare products for 3–5 days

We’ll provide you with tailored aftercare instructions to suit your skin’s needs and guide your recovery.
