How does collagen induction work to get ideal results?

It is known that procedures such as CO2 lasers and microneedling provide controlled damage to skin tissues in order to stimulate new collagen synthesis. However, it is known that when injury occurs, collagen is quickly built to protect the skin,so it isn't woven tightly like the the most ideal type of collagen and that usually results in scar tissue. How is this any different with collagen induction? Does the collagen build slower with controlled damage as opposed to damage from cystic acne which results in atrophic acne scars? I want to have my acne scars remodelled, will the scar tissue be replaced with better collagen? I have heard that caffeine slows collagen production. Would it be wise to slow down the collagen production so the wrong types don't get created and would collagen powder speed up the bad types of collagen?
