Collagen Induction Therapy
Derma roller/ microneedling - A dermaroller is a hand held device with microneedles. Medical Needling is a treatment to improve the skin texture and is minimally invasive. A topical numbing cream is applied before initiating the procedure. The purpose of applying the numbing cream is to make your skin comfortable. In this treatment, hundreds of micro needles that are present on the surface of the roller are used to stimulate the surface of the skin. The roller is on all parts of the skin on the face or the affected area. This results in the formation of many tiny injuries on the skin, which stimulate the release of growth factors and cytokines. The growth factors and cytokines in turn create a wound healing cascade by stimulating collagen, elastin, and neovascularization. The skin starts looking plump in the treated area because of the excess of the collagen in that particular area. In addition to which, this procedure is helpful in scar reduction by filling them as well as removing the fine lines or wrinkles. The treatment opens up the pores of the skin and makes it more receptive to any product that you apply on it. During the procedure, we at Dadu Medical Centre located in Delhi, Vasant Vihar (South Delhi), Rajouri Garden (West Delhi) apply serums to the treated area, specific to your skin concerns, (hyaluronic acid, growth factors and skin boosters for anti aging); ( vitamin C serums and skin enhancers for facial rejuvenation and glow); ( vitamin E and rosehip oils for stretch marks); ( collagen and elastin containing serums for acne scars),(Hair growth enhancers booster ). The skin may become reddened and inflamed for a short time after, creating a feeling similar to light sunburn. The last part of the treatment includes application of a Dermaroller mask which is a silk mask which contains Hydrolysed collagen, peptide or arbutin. After applying the Dermaroller mask, your skin absorbs the molecules contained in the matrixyl peptides and in the hyalugenronan. You’ll feel a fresh and clearer skin as the hyaluronan evaporates and the neo-collagenesis is stimulated. Needling sessions are typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Collagen Induction Therapy - When Growth Factor Treatment is used with microneedling; the time taken for these sessions remains the same but the results are enhanced. Before starting the procedure a numbing cream is applied to maximise the patient comfort. As we wait for the numbing cream to be effective, meanwhile your blood is drawn (like for a routine blood test) and centrifuged to obtain the Growth Factors. The technique is based on harnessing the natural healing power of your own blood which contains many growth factors. These are proteins that promote the healing of damaged skin. Growth factors when applied to the skin after microneedling penetrate the skin through the tiny channels the microneedles create. These growth factors trigger surrounding cells to proliferate and repair damage.

Collagen Induction Therapy in Delhi – Microneedling with Growth Factors at Dadu Medical Centre
As the skin ages, the most fundamental change happening beneath the surface is a steady decline in collagen, the structural protein that holds the skin firm, plump, and smooth. Once collagen starts depleting, the effects become visible quickly: fine lines form, the skin starts to look thinner, scarring from acne or other causes becomes more noticeable, and the face loses the youthful volume and resilience it once had. Collagen Induction Therapy microneedling anti-ageing treatment in Delhi at Dadu Medical Centre is one of the most clinically well-established ways to actively reverse this decline by prompting the skin to produce new collagen on its own without using any synthetic filler or foreign substance. What makes the version of Collagen Induction Therapy used at Dadu Medical Centre distinctly more effective than basic microneedling is the addition of the patient's own growth factors to the session. This combined approach microneedling that physically stimulates internal repair activity, paired with growth factors that deliver highly concentrated biological signals for cell multiplication and tissue repair is what the clinic specifically defines as Collagen Induction Therapy, and it consistently delivers results that neither component could achieve alone. At Dadu Medical Centre, one of the established anti-ageing treatment clinics in Delhi, Dr. Nivedita Dadu uses this combination for patients dealing with fine lines, mild skin laxity, dull or uneven skin tone, acne scars, stretch marks, and general skin ageing. The clinic operates from Vasant Vihar in South Delhi and Rajouri Garden in West Delhi, and the entire procedure is done under complete medical supervision using sterile, single-use devices.
The foundation of Collagen Induction Therapy is the dermaroller, a handheld device fitted with fine medical-grade microneedles that create hundreds of tiny, controlled punctures in the skin when moved across the treatment area. These punctures are precise enough to reach the dermis, the deeper skin layer where collagen is actually produced without causing open wounds or significant surface damage. The skin's response to these tiny injuries is to immediately begin the wound healing cascade, a biological chain reaction that starts with the release of growth factors, cytokines, and inflammatory mediators from the damaged tissue. This release signals the fibroblast cells in the dermis to become active, and these fibroblasts begin building new collagen and elastin fibres as part of the repair process. Simultaneously, new blood vessels form in the treated area a process called neovascularisation which improves the blood supply to the skin and helps it function more healthily over the long term. The channel-like punctures created by the needles also serve a second critical purpose during the session: they temporarily increase the permeability of the skin, allowing any active ingredients applied at that moment to penetrate far deeper into the skin than they normally could through an intact surface. This is where the growth factor and serum component of the treatment becomes extremely valuable. At Dadu Medical Centre, during the needle channelling phase of the session, a serum is applied to the treatment area that is chosen specifically based on the patient's primary concern. For anti-ageing purposes, hyaluronic acid, growth factors, and skin boosters are used; these reach the dermis through the open channels and actively participate in the collagen repair and hydration process. For general skin rejuvenation and glow, vitamin C serums and skin enhancers are applied. For acne scars, collagen and elastin containing serums are used. For stretch marks, vitamin E and rosehip oil are infused. For scalp hair concerns, hair growth booster serums are delivered through the same microneedling process. This targeted, concern-specific serum selection is what makes each Collagen Induction Therapy session at the anti-ageing clinic in Delhi at Dadu Medical Centre a fully personalised skin repair experience rather than a generic treatment applied the same way to every patient.
The growth factor addition which is what elevates this treatment beyond standard dermaroller sessions works on a principle similar to the Vampire Facial. A small blood sample is drawn from the patient's arm at the start of the session and placed in a centrifuge. This concentrates the growth factors present in the plasma proteins that the body uses for tissue repair, cell proliferation, and healing. When these concentrated growth factors are applied to the skin immediately after the microneedling step, they penetrate through the open microchannels directly into the dermis, where they trigger surrounding skin cells to multiply and repair damage. The combined effect of the physical collagen stimulation from the needling and the biological stimulation from the growth factors means the skin's repair response is substantially stronger than what microneedling alone could produce. The anti-ageing doctors in Delhi at Dadu Medical Centre find that patients who undergo Collagen Induction Therapy with growth factors consistently achieve better outcomes in terms of collagen density, skin firmness, and scar improvement compared to those who undergo microneedling without the growth factor addition. The session concludes with the application of a Dermaroller silk mask, a specialised mask containing hydrolysed collagen, matrixyl peptides, hyaluronan, and either peptides or arbutin depending on the skin concern. After the mask is applied and absorbed, the molecules from the matrixyl peptides and hyaluronan are taken up by the skin, the hyaluronan gradually evaporates and in doing so stimulates neo-collagenesis the formation of new collagen making the mask application the final layer of collagen stimulation in the session.
The skin may appear mildly red and feel sensitive for a short period after each session similar to the feeling of a light sunburn and this downtime of a few days is normal and expected as the internal repair process gets underway. Patients are advised to avoid sun exposure on the treated areas for a few days, use a gentle broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen daily, keep the skin well moisturised, and avoid using harsh exfoliants or strong active products on the skin during the healing phase. Needling sessions for Collagen Induction Therapy are typically spaced four to six weeks apart to give the skin adequate time between sessions to process and build upon the collagen stimulus of each treatment. Most patients need three to five sessions to achieve noticeable and lasting improvement, with results continuing to build over the months following the last session as the new collagen matures and settles into a healthier skin structure.
