At Almasi Skincare we offer the best scar removal in Nairobi Kenya using the latest procedure known as Microneedling with PRP.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, which is also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a procedure which uses a device with very small needles (microneedles) to cause micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body to produce collagen and elastin which makes the scars less visible.
At Almasi Skincare we go the extra mile and do the best scar removal in Nairobi Kenya since we combine the Microneedling with PRP. This procedure uses growth factors from your own blood to further boost the collagen production and give you better results.
Microneedling with PRP is relatively painless since we apply a numbing cream before we begin. However, some clients may experience redness and minor discomfort. It is important to note that you can return to work immediately after the Microneedling procedure as these effects are minimal.
What Scars Does Microneedling Remove?
Microneedling is used to treat the following types of scars:
*Acne scars
*Chickenpox scars
*Surgical scars or post-operative scars
*Injury scars or post-traumatic scars
Is Microneedling For Scar Removal Safe?
Microneedling for scar removal is safe for all skin types.
It is also medically safe because we use PRP with growth factors from your own blood.
