Microneedling—also called collagen induction therapy—is one of the most effective ways to naturally rejuvenate the skin. At Avané Clinic in Nairobi, our medical-grade microneedling treatments are designed to stimulate collagen, improve texture, and minimize scars, leaving your skin smoother, firmer, and more radiant—without surgery or extended downtime.
It’s simple. It’s powerful. And it’s the foundation of great skin at every age.

Microneedling creates micro-injuries in the skin, triggering collagen and elastin production to reduce wrinkles, scars, and imperfections. At Avané Clinic, we use derma rollers and pens for precise penetration, enhanced by exosomes—tiny vesicles with growth factors that boost skin repair. A nutrient-rich serum and exosomes are applied to the skin, maximizing the rejuvenation process.
At Avané Clinic, microneedling can be performed on its own or enhanced with topical serums, growth factors, or exosome therapy for even greater skin renewal. It’s a versatile, safe, and highly customizable treatment for a wide range of skin concerns.
Microneedling, also known as percutaneous collagen induction therapy, leverages the skin’s natural ability to heal itself after being slightly injured. At Avané Clinic, we utilise advanced technology, including derma pens and derma rollers, to perform this treatment. These devices feature 12-to-36-minute needles that can be adjusted from 0.5 to 2.5 mm in size, allowing precise application and optimal results. The treatment also involves the use of high-quality serums tailored to each client’s specific needs.
Your microneedling journey at Avané Clinic begins with a comprehensive consultation and a customized treatment plan. On procedure day:
After treatment, your skin may appear pink or flushed—similar to a mild sunburn—which typically resolves within a few days.
Microneedling is incredibly effective for treating a variety of skin issues, including:
It’s a favorite for those seeking a fresher, more youthful complexion with minimal downtime.
While microneedling is most popular for the face, it can also rejuvenate:
The treatment helps to reduce dull complexion and enhance brighter, healthier skin, effectively diminishing the dark spots left by acne. It also conceals signs of ageing, reducing wrinkles and fine lines. With a recovery period of just 2 to 3 days, you can quickly return to your normal routine.
Ideal candidates for microneedling include:
It’s safe for all skin types and tones. Patients with active acne, certain skin infections, or severe rosacea may need to postpone treatment. Your Avané provider will guide you through a personalized assessment to ensure it's right for you.
Most patients experience little to no downtime and love the "post-treatment glow" that kicks in within days. Recovery from microneedling is quick and easy:
You'll begin to notice smoother, firmer skin within 4–6 weeks, as collagen production ramps up. Improvements continue to develop over the following months. For optimal results, we often recommend a series of 3–6 treatments, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart.
Results are long-lasting, and because microneedling enhances your skin’s own regenerative abilities, your improvements look completely natural.
At Avané Clinic, microneedling isn't just a procedure—it’s an art form backed by science. Our team uses advanced devices, physician-grade serums, and proven techniques to achieve maximum collagen stimulation with minimal discomfort.
We customize every treatment to your unique skin needs, ensuring you receive results that are elegant, effective, and beautifully natural. From your first consultation to your final session, your experience is elevated—because your skin deserves nothing less.
With topical numbing, most patients find the treatment very tolerable—reporting only a mild prickling or vibration sensation.
While some results are noticeable after just one treatment, a series of 3–6 sessions yields the most dramatic, lasting results.
