Percutaneous Collagen Induction Therapy
What is Percutaneous CIT (Collagen Induction Therapy)?
Percutaneous CIT (Collagen Induction Therapy) is a treatment approach designed to help regenerate skin. This means that the method aims to improve the texture and appearance of the skin.
How soon will I see improvements?
Since the effect of Percutaneous CIT is based on stimulating the body’s own (endogenous) regeneration mechanisms, it takes time before the results become visible. Therefore, you should not expect the desired improvement to happen immediately. Within 3-6 weeks after the collagen treatment, the quality of your skin will begin to show improvements. A few more months will be needed for the natural renewal processes to achieve the full effect.
How many sessions are recommended?
Percutaneous CIT can be repeated, provided that the skin is given enough time to regenerate between treatments. To achieve maximum improvement, we recommend a course of up to six treatments, no more frequently than at 1-2 week intervals, under topical anesthesia. Other alternatives are 1 collagen treatment monthly, or 6 treatments every 6 months.
What should I expect during the treatment?
Percutaneous CIT has to cause bleeding to trigger the desired regeneration processes in the deeper layers of the skin. This is not a side effect, but an effect which is necessary, and which your practitioner will produce deliberately. The bleeding acts as a stimulus or messenger for the skin cells to produce collagen and elastin. Percutaneous CIT is performed using very fine needles, and the tiny pin-pricks in the skin close up within hours, so bleeding stops by the time the collagen treatment is finished. This does not cause lasting pain. After the procedure, the skin will appear red or pink for a few days and may swell. This reaction looks like a moderate sunburn or mild abrasion, although the skin has not been abraded – only pricked. During the early (acute) healing phase you may look tired, but after about a week, your skin should feel and look as usual. The necessary wound healing reaction will cause your skin cells (fibroblasts) to produce new collagen and elastin. Therefore, the effect of Percutaneous CIT is based mainly on the activation and the subsequent natural course of the skin’s wound healing and regeneration mechanism.
Is there anything I need to do to prepare for this collagen treatment?
Since regeneration and healing are stimulated by certain creams that contain particularly high levels of vitamin A and C, daily pretreatment of your skin for several months, with creams recommended by your practitioner, is an important part of successful Percutaneous Collagen Induction Therapy.

The Benefits of a Natural Face Lift
Natural Face Sculpting in Beverly Hills is now available at JEMIOR. This specialized technique is performed on anyone who desires a natural face lift. Performing a deep and targeted face sculpting massage releases tension as well as toxic fluid buildup in facial muscles, which allows nutrient-dense fluids to flow freely to nourish and revitalize tissues. The end result is that facial muscles regain their youthful integrity. The results of just one session can be very dramatic. In addition to sculpting the facial muscles, we also work on gently realigning and sculpting facial bones which typically shift through the years rendering a natural face lift effect.
Over time, our facial bones recede, collapse and become compressed. Without the structural support of bone, the overlying soft tissue and skin lose their integrity, causing the face to sag and appear less plump. By using face sculpting massage techniques, we are able to lift and contour the face, giving the overlying soft tissue and skin the support it needs to have a youthful appearance.
Our facial muscles experience tension buildup just like the rest of our body. This tension prevents detoxification and nourishment to our soft tissues. This is how many wrinkles and folds appear on the face and neck. By performing Natural Face Sculpting on the facial muscles, we are able to release that tension and allow for nutrient-dense fluids to nourish and revitalize tissues, as well as allow for muscles to regain their integrity creating a natural face lift effect.
How old should you be to have this treatment?
Individuals as young as their 20’s can benefit from this treatment as a form of prevention as well as for face contouring.
How many sessions does it take to see and feel a change?
Results vary from individual to individual and session to session. This depends on the level of tension and lifestyle factors. Some individuals may need a few sessions to see a change, but most will typically feel and see some change after their first session.
How many sessions do I need to get the most from this treatment?
We recommend 6-8 sessions to get the most from our face sculpting massage, spaced out one week apart. Receiving this natural face lift treatment in one-week intervals is key to keeping the face fully stimulated while maintaining the revitalization from each treatment, as they are cumulative. Some individuals may need more sessions depending on the depth of tension. To maintain results, returning for sessions once per month is recommended.
What are some contraindications for this treatment?
Active cancer
Can this treatment be done on individuals who have filler/Botox?
Botox users should wait a minimum of three weeks before receiving this treatment to be sure that the botox has fully set.
If your face has any filler, you must wait a minimum of four weeks before receiving this natural face lift treatment to ensure that the product has set. Areas with filler will be addressed superficially and can be avoided as desired.

Lymphatic System
What is the Lymphatic System?
The Lymphatic System is a circulatory system in the body that carries lymph (colorless fluid containing water, proteins, fats, hormones, pathogens, and waste) via a vast network of lymphatic vessels. The lymphatic system plays a vital role in establishing and maintaining balance of the body’s interstitial fluids. During this transportation process, before entering the blood stream, the fluids pass through the lymph nodes, where they are cleansed, filtered and concentrated into a nutrient dense fluid. Immune reactions occur in the lymph nodes, destroying pathogens and ridding the interstitial fluids of waste. After this detoxification occurs, a purified and concentrated nutrient-rich fluid enters into the bloodstream.
What is Dr. Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)?
Established in the 1930s, MLD is a light-touch, subtle physical therapy modality recognized by both the international medical and spa wellness communities. Analgesic (reduces pain) and restorative, MLD provides deep relaxation while accelerating cellular repair and regeneration.
How can I benefit from an MLD treatment?
Inflammation and stress are among the leading causes of premature aging and skin distress. MLD is a treatment that addresses the root cause of this issue. The following are some of the benefits of MLD:
(-) reduces the build up of free radicals
(+) increases oxygenation
(+) increases the delivery of nutrients to the body
(+) stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system (“rest and digest” state), facilitating true regeneration
(-) reduces fluid stagnation (e.g. swelling)
What are contra-indications for MLD?
Active cancer (must be 5 years cleared)
Thrombosis
Congestive Heart Disease
Acute Inflammation/infection
Hyperthyroid (service can be modified accordingly)
Low blood pressure (may require additional time)
Lash Extensions vs Lash Lifts
What is it?
Lash extensions: Artificial lashes are attached to individual natural lashes with a lash adhesive to enhance the appearance of lashes by adding length, increased curl and fullness of natural lashes. They can be made from several materials, such as synthetic or natural mink hair. Results can last up to 3 weeks.
Lash lifts: Natural lashes are lifted and curled to enhance the natural lashes, allowing them to appear longer and fuller. Results can last up to 3 months, but is completely dependent on the individual’s lash growth cycle, which can vary from person to person.
Downtime & After-care
Lash extensions: There is a 24-hour downtime and lashes must be kept dry to set the lash extensions. Waterproof mascara and oil-based products around the eyes must also be avoided, as this can affect lash adhesiveness. Must avoid sleeping on the lashes or rubbing the eyes.
Lash lifts: There is a 24-hour downtime where lashes must be kept dry so that conditioning coating can set into lash cuticle for nourishment. After 24 hours you are free to do whatever you want (after all, they are your lashes!).
Maintenance
Lash extensions: Cannot use waterproof eye makeup or oil based product around eyes. Fills required every 2-3 weeks to keep extensions looking full.
Lash lifts: We highly recommend the use of a nourishing product for the lashes to keep them as healthy as possible. Most of clients get their lash lift treatments every two months.
Micro-Current
What is micro-current?
Micro-current is a micro level current that mimics the body’s natural flow and can provide cumulative rejuvenating results. Micro-current technology was originally used as a form of physical therapy in medical settings to strengthen atrophied muscles. Today, it is widely used in the beauty industry to maintain and regain facial muscle integrity.
What are the benefits?
Conditioning the facial muscles with micro-current results in stronger facial muscle integrity, creating a lifted and rejuvenated appearance to the face.
For Botox users:
The use of facial micro-current technology should be considered essential for Botox users! The use of a neuromuscular paralyzing agent, such as Botox, prevents muscles from contracting. A muscle that is not put into use eventually atrophies. This can happen to facial muscles after years of constant paralyzing and loss of muscle integrity, which can eventually cause the face to droop, sag and/or appear hollow. The use of facial muscle toning micro-current is imperative for individuals that use Botox to assist in preventing the loss of muscle integrity.
