Minimal Invasive Technologies for Treatment of HTS and Keloids: Medical Needling

Medical needling or percutaneous collagen induction (PCI) is a nonablative and innovative method for the treatment of scars. The method of PCI displays a minimal invasive intervention that has developed in the last 25 years and gets significantly more integrated in the fields of plastic and reconstructive surgery. Medical needling is based on a simple therapy concept with a focus on sustainability and clinical data reveal new pathways for the treatment of especially HTS and keloids. In the context of modern medicine, medical needling overcomes deficits of conventional treatments by stimulating and modifying the endogenous potential of skin regeneration.
