What is Non-Surgical Hair Restoration: Collagen Induced Therapy (CIT)
Collagen Induced Therapy (CIT) therapy is one of the best treatments for hair loss. A Collagen Induced Therapy (CIT) is a mix of plasma and platelets from a blood sample. After that, it will reinject into the scalp. This treatment promotes both hair growth and healing. Hence, CIT can help your hair grow better. In short, it is like fertilizer for your hair.
CIT therapy takes about 10 minutes. So, there will be no downtime afterward. Moreover, you can resume your regular activities after the procedure.
CIT HAIR RESTORATION
Collagen Induced Therapy (CIT) therapy involves taking your blood cells. They spin it down in a centrifuge machine to separate those valuable cells. Your MAXIM surgeon will first numb your scalp with anesthesia. Then, they will inject the plasma into target areas in the scalp. This plasma contains a high concentration of platelets that promotes hair growth. Moreover, this is helpful for patients with hair loss.
Collagen Induced Therapy (CIT) can be performed alone. Also, it can be done as a combination with other surgical and non-surgical procedures like:
- Hair transplants
- Stem cells
- Microneedling
Collagen Induced Therapy is a very quick procedure that takes less than one hour. If done alone, patients will need from 3 to 5 treatments for the greatest results. However, one treatment is enough when combined with other procedures mentioned above.
STEM CELL THERAPY
Stem cell therapy involves the patient’s own fat in harvesting stem cells. Then, inject it into the scalp to reverse the shrinking of hair follicles. As a result, it stimulates hair growth.
Your MAXIM surgeon will perform a mini-liposuction. So that they can get 1 to 2 ounces of fat tissue from your abdominal area. This procedure takes 30 minutes to an hour. After receiving the stem cells back, the doctor will administer local anesthesia. They do this to numb your scalp and lessen the discomfort of the procedure. Then, they will inject the stem cells into the targeted areas. This procedure can take about 30 minutes to complete.
For a great result, this therapy can be done together with other hair restoration methods like:
- Collagen Induced Therapy
- Microneedling
- Hair transplant
MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment that addresses the different effects of aging. It involves the use of a skin roller with small needles that causes minor skin injuries. There is also evidence that microneedling can help some hair loss.
Microneedling means using a skin roller to make small cuts in the skin of your scalp. The roller device contains hundreds of tiny needles that extend to the middle layer of the skin.
Also, the micro-injuries to the skin encourage the growth of new collagen and elastin. This may help to regenerate hair follicles and stimulate new hair growth as well. Especially when CIT or stem cells are used with it. Thus, the micro-injuries make the absorption of Rogaine® and topical steroids better. Moreover, it improves the health of existing hair.
Microneedling can help with alopecia and lichen planus. Moreover, it helps in treating related disorders.
Your MAXiM practitioner will apply a topical anesthetic before the procedure. Then, apply a soothing balm or serum after the treatment. On top of that, each session takes about 30 minutes to an hour.

The treatment takes place over 4 sessions wherein, each session takes 2-4 hours. Usually, the common side effects of SMP are redness and itchiness. Thus, it will normally go away in a few days as the skin on your scalp gets better.
