Collagen Induction Therapies in La Jolla, CA
Stimulate Natural Renewal. Strengthen Skin From Within.
As skin ages, collagen production slows—leading to visible changes in firmness, texture, and elasticity. At Starlite Aesthetics, our Collagen Induction Therapies are designed to restore the skin’s internal support system using your body’s natural healing process.
Through clinically proven treatments that trigger controlled micro-injury, we stimulate new collagen formation beneath the surface—resulting in smoother, firmer, more resilient skin over time. These therapies are ideal for clients seeking non-surgical skin rejuvenation with long-term benefits and minimal downtime. Our patients come from La Jolla, Del Mar, Carmel Valley, Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe, and throughout San Diego County for tailored collagen support that respects their unique skin needs.

What Are Collagen Induction Therapies?
Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) is a category of skin treatments that activate the body’s regenerative response to create new collagen and elastin. These therapies help improve:
- Fine lines and skin laxity
- Uneven texture or tone
- Mild scarring (including acne scars)
- Enlarged pores
- Crepey skin on the face, neck, or décolleté
- Early signs of aging
At Starlite Aesthetics, Collagen Induction Therapies include several advanced options:
Each treatment can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with other services, such as dermal fillers or PDO thread lifts, for a layered, comprehensive approach.
Who Is a Candidate?
Collagen Induction Therapy is suitable for clients of all skin types who want to:
- Improve skin quality without surgery
- Minimize downtime while achieving visible improvement
- Address subtle aging in the face, neck, or chest
- Reduce the appearance of acne scars or sun damage
- Support collagen maintenance over time
Younger clients may also benefit from preventive CIT treatments to slow collagen degradation and maintain long-term skin health.
How Treatment Works
While techniques vary, all Collagen Induction Therapies are based on the same principle: controlled micro-injury triggers the body’s natural repair response, stimulating new collagen and elastin production in the process.
For example:
- RF Microneedling combines microneedles with radiofrequency energy to firm and tighten skin.
- PRP Rejuvenation uses growth factors from your own blood to accelerate healing and increase collagen density.
- Exosome Therapy enhances the repair process with bioactive cellular messengers for more advanced skin renewal.
- PDO Thread Non-Surgical Facelift gently lifts and supports sagging skin while stimulating collagen for long-term rejuvenation.
We’ll determine the right treatment—or combination—for your skin goals during your consultation.
What to Expect
- Treatment Time: 45–75 minutes
- Recovery: Redness or mild swelling may occur; downtime varies by method
- Results Begin: Within a few weeks, with continued improvement over several months
- Maintenance: Periodic treatments may be recommended for lasting results
Most treatments are well tolerated and require only minimal aftercare. If desired, we can pair your collagen therapy with medical-grade skin care or computer skin analysis to maximize your investment and track progress over time.

Are these services optional or part of a larger plan?
Some clients use these therapies independently, while others include them in a broader strategy for facial or body enhancement. We’ll help you determine how these options can best serve your goals.
How do vitamin injections differ from oral supplements?
Injectable vitamins bypass the digestive system, allowing for significantly higher absorption and faster results. This is particularly useful for clients with chronic fatigue, nutritional deficiencies, or those undergoing body or skin treatments.
Will I need downtime after RF Skin Rejuvenation?
No. Radiofrequency treatments are completely non-invasive, with no recovery time required. Many clients receive them during a lunch break and return to normal activities immediately.
How many sessions are recommended for Kybella?
Most clients require 2–4 sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal submental fat reduction. We’ll assess your facial structure and fat distribution during your consultation.
Is Computer Skin Analysis necessary?
While not required, skin analysis helps us identify underlying issues and create a personalized treatment roadmap. It’s especially helpful when planning medical-grade skincare or evaluating progress after laser or PRP treatments.
