Dermapen in Medellín — Microneedling for Skin Rejuvenation

Dermapen is one of the most versatile treatments in aesthetic medicine. Using microneedling technology with 12 ultrafine needles, it stimulates natural collagen and elastin production, addressing acne scars, fine lines, dark spots, large pores and overall skin texture — all without surgery or significant downtime.

How Dermapen microneedling works

The Dermapen device contains 12 ultrafine needles that create controlled micro-channels at depths of 0.5mm to 2.5mm. These micro-injuries trigger your skin's natural healing process, producing fresh type I and III collagen. The result: improved texture, firmness, luminosity and visible scar reduction over time.

Conditions Dermapen treats

Atrophic acne scars (boxcar, ice pick, rolling), recent stretch marks, fine lines on forehead/eyes/mouth, large pores, mild laxity, melasma and pigmentation (combined with depigmenting actives), and scalp alopecia.

How many sessions you need

General rejuvenation: 3–4 sessions. Acne scars: 4–6 sessions. Stretch marks: 6–8 sessions. Melasma: 6–8 sessions. Spaced 4 weeks apart. Visible results from week 4 of first session, continued improvement up to 6 months.

Aftercare protocol

First 24 hours: skin appears red like mild sunburn. Apply only the recommended hydrating serum and SPF 50+. Avoid makeup for 48 hours, intense exercise for 24 hours, sauna and pools for 72 hours, and direct sun for one week. Mild peeling on days 3–5 is normal — your new skin is renewing.

Combined protocols for maximum results

Dermapen pairs powerfully with: vitamin C serums (deeper penetration through micro-channels), hyaluronic acid (deep hydration), growth factors (accelerated healing), and tranexamic acid (for melasma protocols). Dr. Catalina Henao customizes the active cocktail to your skin needs.
