Collagenisis is used for acne scarring or scarring of any type, like stretch marks, chicken pox scars and surgical scars. Scar tissue is dead tissue. In this treatment we use a high tech small instrument that rolls over the skin with tiny needles. This is done after applying an anaesthetic cream. The result is a production of healthy tissue and collagen, an increase in blood supply creating live tissue thus replacing the dead tissue area.
