Micro-needling
Kampala dermatology is offering an automated micro-needling procedure which is a new innovation in aesthetic medicine for the treatment of wrinkles, acne scars, stretchmarks and improvement of the skin's overall appearance.
During this procedure, tiny needles are used to create controlled micro(very small) injuries to the skin in order to produce collagen and elastin. The skin repair process results in a thicker dermis with the appearance of softer wrinkles.
Benefits of micro-needling
The benefits of micro-needling are a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and younger looking skin with fewer signs of aging. It also has a positive effect on hyper-pigmentation (dark spots or scars) as well as on hypo-pigmentation, acne scars, traumatic scars, stretchmarks and generally a fresher appearance or glow to the skin.

How many treatments are needed?
Some patients require a single micro-needling treatment once a year to achieve optimal results. However, it is recommended for most patients to receive a series of 2 - 3 treatments spaced 6 - 8 weeks apart.
For patients with deep wrinkles, advanced photo-aging, stretchmarks or acne scars, it is recommended to receive 6 - 8 sessions in 6 week intervals.
