Watch Your Skin Glow!
Sick of fussing over dried, wrinkled, and sagging skin? Thanks to Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) with exosomes, you can see a return to glowing, refreshed skin. CIT kickstarts the body’s natural collagen production processes and allows the skin to repair itself. This process reduces wrinkles, lines, and even scars! You don’t have to settle for subpar skin quality.

CIT and Exosomes Before & After
How It Works
Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) works by treating the epidermis, or the outer layer of the skin. CIT creates microscopic channels in the skin, inducing the body’s healing process. These channels will heal within 24 hours.
As collagen production begins, we will apply exosomes. This aids in the healing process and increases the production of collagen and elastin, leaving the skin firmer.

Many patients see treatment results immediately after their CIT and exosomes treatment. After the procedure is complete, treated skin will seem to glow.
Results will only continue to improve in the weeks following the treatment. In fact, your results may intensify for as many as 6 months after the procedure. The number of treatments you’ll need to maintain your results varies from patient to patient, but some only require a single treatment a year. That being said, most patients need 2 to 8 treatments. These are spaced out in intervals, 6 to 8 weeks apart. Results are long-lasting, and can even be permanent.
CIT utilizes collagen, which is a natural protein found in the body that promotes healthy skin growth. Collagen is produced naturally during the body’s healing processes. So when we create micro-channels in the epidermis, the body automatically works to heal them, releasing collagen for better skin quality.
But this process is more than just creating channels in the treatment area. The CT and exosomes treatment also applies a specialized compound that will work to improve the texture and tone of the patient’s skin.
Exosome therapy is a cutting-edge treatment designed to reduce the effects of time on the human body. The treatment is applied by way of a medicinal serum comprised of exosomes. These exosomes can transfer biological information between cells. This information transfer allows the body to heal quicker. It also provides increased results unseen in many other anti-aging treatments.
Pre- & Post-Care Instructions for CIT and Exosomes in Foxborough
- 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.
