In the vibrant city of Bangalore, where innovation and beauty trends converge, individuals are increasingly seeking advanced, minimally invasive treatments to rejuvenate their skin. Among the most sought-after procedures is Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), commonly known as Microneedling. This revolutionary treatment harnesses your body's innate healing abilities to produce a fresher, smoother, and more youthful complexion.
At Contour Cosmetic Clinic in Bangalore, Karnataka, we specialize in providing state-of-the-art Collagen Induction Therapy, meticulously performed by our experienced dermatologists and aestheticians. We are dedicated to helping you revitalize your skin, diminish imperfections, and embrace a naturally radiant glow.
What is Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) / Microneedling?
Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a device containing very fine, sterile needles. When rolled or stamped over the skin, these needles create microscopic punctures in the epidermis and dermis.
These controlled micro-injuries are not harmful. Instead, they cleverly trick the skin into initiating its natural wound-healing response. This process involves:
- Stimulating Collagen & Elastin Production: The primary goal. The body rushes to repair the micro-injuries by producing new collagen and elastin – the essential proteins responsible for skin's firmness, elasticity, and youthful structure.
- Enhanced Product Absorption: The micro-channels created by the needles allow topical serums, growth factors, and other active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin, significantly boosting their efficacy.
- Cell Regeneration: Encourages the formation of new, healthy skin cells.
The result is a gradual but significant improvement in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance, addressing a wide array of common skin concerns.

Conditions Effectively Treated by Collagen Induction Therapy
CIT is a remarkably versatile treatment that can significantly improve the appearance of:
- Acne Scars: Particularly effective for depressed (atrophic) acne scars like ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars, by stimulating collagen to fill in the depressions.
- Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Reduces the appearance of fine lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead by plumping the skin with new collagen.
- Skin Laxity / Loose Skin: Improves overall skin firmness and elasticity, leading to a tighter, more toned appearance.
- Enlarged Pores: Helps to minimize the appearance of enlarged pores by thickening the surrounding skin.
- Stretch Marks: Can improve the texture and color of both red and white stretch marks.
- Uneven Skin Tone & Texture: Creates a smoother, more even complexion by promoting uniform cell turnover.
- Sun Damage & Pigmentation: Can help to fade sun spots and improve overall skin clarity.
Your Collagen Induction Therapy Journey at Contour Cosmetic Clinic, Bangalore
- Initial Consultation & Skin Analysis: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with our skin expert at our Bangalore clinic. We will thoroughly assess your skin concerns, medical history, and aesthetic goals. This crucial step allows us to determine if CIT is the right treatment for you and to customize your treatment plan.
- Preparation: On the day of your treatment, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed. A topical numbing cream will then be applied to ensure your comfort during the procedure. This typically takes 20-30 minutes to take effect.
- The Microneedling Procedure: Once your skin is numbed, our practitioner will use the microneedling device to create controlled micro-injuries across the treatment area. The process is precise and carefully monitored to ensure even coverage. A high-quality serum is often applied during or immediately after the procedure to enhance penetration.
- Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, your skin may appear red, similar to a moderate sunburn, and feel slightly warm or tight. You will receive detailed aftercare instructions, including gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and strict sun protection (SPF 30+ is essential).
- Healing & Results: The redness usually subsides within 24-48 hours. You might experience some mild swelling or slight flaking in the days following. As your skin heals, you'll begin to notice improvements in texture and tone. New collagen production is a gradual process, with optimal results typically becoming apparent over several weeks to months after a series of treatments.
- Treatment Sessions: For best results, a series of 3-6 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, is typically recommended. Maintenance sessions may be advised periodically to sustain your results.
Post-Procedure Expectations & Tips
- Redness: Expect redness resembling a sunburn for 1-2 days.
- Sensitivity: Your skin may feel sensitive, tight, or slightly swollen.
- Sun Protection: Absolute paramount to avoid sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily.
- Gentle Skincare: Avoid harsh cleansers, exfoliants, or active ingredients (like retinoids, Vitamin C) for a few days post-treatment as advised by our clinic.
- Hydration: Keep your skin well-hydrated.
