2. Hypertrophic scars
Burns

5. Percutaneous Collagen Induction
In burn scars treatment are usually used systems that
either directly damage the subcutaneous tissue (steroids)
with great risk of atrophy, or destroy the epidermis and
the basal membrane (ablative) resulting in papillary
dermal fibrosis

induction therapy: An alternative

The ideal treatment should be able to preserve the outer
skin layers (epidermis) and promote elastin and collagen
formation in the dermis

This seems to happen when the shock administered
to the skin is minimal in the skin but conspicuous in
the dermis below.
This is the mechanism of PCI (needling)
