Microneedling treatment in progress at Kampala Dermatology

About the treatment

A device tipped with fine needles creates thousands of controlled micro-channels, signalling your skin to rebuild collagen and elastin from the inside out.

It suits melanin-rich skin beautifully: no heat, no light, very low risk of new pigmentation. Courses of 3–6 sessions deliver the transformation.

What it helps with

  • Acne scars and shallow textural scars
  • Enlarged pores and uneven texture
  • Fine lines and early ageing
  • Stretch marks with adjunct topicals
