Micro-needling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure in Kenya that aims to rejuvenate the skin and improve its texture and appearance. It involves using a specialized machine called a Radiofrequency micro-needling machine which contains tiny needles that perform controlled micro-injuries that consequently stimulate collagen remodelling and encourage the growth of new, healthy skin cells, leading to a smoother and more flawless skin.
The microneedles are driven directly into the skin at a certain depth, and radiofrequency energy is then released inside of the skin. This gives a more uniformed deep tissue warming that will then stimulate the collagen and new collagen fibers are produced. The needle tip contains 25 small gold needles acting as an internal conductors.
The combination of microneedles and radiofrequency leads to a more substantial improvement in skin quality and texture. This combination also allows the procedure to treat a variety of concerns such as skin tightening and brightening, pore size reduction and stretch marks. It is also effective in scar treatment such as deep acne scars, ice pick scars, atrophic scars, burn and operation scars.

Benefits for Micro-needling
Collagen and Elastin Stimulation: Micro-needling triggers the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. These proteins are essential for maintaining skin elasticity, firmness, and a youthful appearance. Increased collagen and elastin production can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.
Improved Skin Texture and Tone: It helps to refine the skin’s texture and promote a smoother, more even complexion. It can address concerns such as rough skin, enlarged pores, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation, resulting in a more uniform and radiant skin tone.
Reduced Appearance of Scars: Micro-needling is effective in minimizing the appearance of various types of scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks. The controlled micro-injuries stimulate collagen remodelling and encourage the growth of new, healthy skin cells, leading to a smoother and less noticeable scar appearance over time.
Enhanced Absorption of Skincare Products: The micro-channels created during the micro-needling process enhance the absorption and penetration of topical skincare products. This allows active ingredients to reach deeper layers of the skin, maximizing their effectiveness in addressing specific skin concerns.
Non-Invasive and Minimal Downtime: this is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require extensive downtime. The skin may appear slightly red and feel sensitive immediately after the treatment, but these effects typically subside within a few hours. The procedure is well-tolerated by most individuals and does not involve significant discomfort.
Suitable for Various Skin Types: Micro-needling is generally safe and effective for a wide range of skin types and tones. Unlike some other treatments, micro-needling does not cause significant changes in skin pigmentation and carries no risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
