Collagen induction therapy is an effective option for improving the appearance of scars by stimulating the body’s natural healing process. This minimally invasive procedure helps smooth skin texture and restore a more even tone. 

Here’s how collagen induction therapy for scars works here at Original Skin Med Spa and Laser Clinic, so you can make a more informed decision for your care.

Stimulates Collagen Production

Collagen is essential for skin repair and elasticity. Collagen induction therapy creates micro-injuries in the skin, triggering a natural healing response that boosts collagen production. This helps scars blend more seamlessly with the surrounding skin.

Improves Skin Texture

An uneven texture is a common concern with surgical scars. This therapy encourages the regeneration of new, smoother skin cells, improving overall skin texture and reducing the roughness of scar tissue.

Enhances Skin Tone

Scars often appear darker or redder than the surrounding skin. Collagen induction therapy helps even out skin tone and minimize discoloration by increasing blood circulation and cellular turnover.

Reduces the Appearance of Raised Scars

Hypertrophic or keloid scars can feel firm and raised. The treatment’s controlled micro-injuries help break down excess scar tissue, leading to a flatter, more natural appearance over time.

Increases Skin Elasticity

Scar tissue tends to be less flexible than normal skin. As collagen production increases, the treated area becomes softer and more pliable, reducing the tightness often associated with surgical scars.

Works on Different Types of Surgical Scars

Collagen induction therapy is an excellent surgical scar treatment. It can improve the appearance of scars from an incision, biopsy, or other procedures.

Safe for Most Skin Types

Unlike some treatment options for surgical scars that may not be suitable for darker skin tones, Collagen induction therapy is safe for many skin types and avoids risking hyperpigmentation.

Minimal Downtime

Many scar treatments require extensive recovery periods. Collagen induction therapy allows most people to return to their regular routine in one to two days, making it a convenient choice.

Pairs Well with Other Scar Treatments

Collagen induction therapy can be combined with other surgical scar treatment methods, such as laser therapy or platelet-rich plasma (PRP), for enhanced results. Combining these treatments further supports skin healing.

Provides Long-Term Results

Since the therapy promotes natural collagen production, the improvements continue over time. Patients can expect more progress six to eight weeks after the treatment. With a proper skincare routine, results can be maintained for the long run.
