Abstract in brief

  • Percutaneous collagen induction therapy is a minimally invasive treatment aimed at improving skin laxity, wrinkles, and scars by promoting collagen and elastin production without damaging the epidermis, unlike traditional ablative procedures.
  • A retrospective study of 480 patients in South Africa and Germany showed significant improvements, with most patients rating their skin as 60-80% better after treatment, and histological analysis confirmed increased collagen and elastin at 6 months.
  • Since its inception in 1997, this technique is considered safe, effective, and repeatable, making it a good alternative to more aggressive treatments like laser resurfacing and deep peeling, especially in sensitive or difficult-to-treat areas.]
