Aesthetic medicine for men is no longer taboo. Dermapen is one of the most popular treatments among male patients in our Medellín practice — minimally invasive, fast recovery, and visible results without obvious "work done."
Why male skin needs different protocols
Male skin is 20–25% thicker than female skin, has more collagen, and produces more sebum. This means: deeper needle settings (1.5–2mm vs 0.5–1.5mm for women), more sessions (4–5 vs 3–4), and different aftercare considerations (especially for shaving routines).
Most common requests from male patients
Acne scars from teenage years (very common). Forehead lines and crow's feet for "executive face" rejuvenation. Large pores on nose and cheeks. Scars from shaving or accidents. Premature aging from sun and stress.
Recovery considerations for men
24–48h mild redness (can usually return to office immediately). No shaving for 48 hours after the session — the micro-channels need to seal. After 48h, use new blade and gentle technique. Skip the cologne/aftershave with alcohol for one week — irritates fresh skin.
Realistic results for male skin
Because of thicker skin and more collagen, men often see excellent results with Dermapen — sometimes more dramatic than women in fewer sessions. Acne scars improve 40–60% in 4–5 sessions. Skin texture and firmness clearly visible by session 3.
Maintenance and male-specific care
Maintenance: 1 session every 4–6 months. Daily SPF (yes, men need it too — premature aging is mostly sun). Simple skincare: gentle cleanser, vitamin C serum AM, retinol 2x/week PM. No need for complex 10-step routines.
