Dermapen 4 in Nerja

Its needles enter vertically and at high speed without dragging the skin, with adjustable depth up to 3 mm and a dedicated scar mode. It uses sterile single-use cartridges with an anti-backflow system, and it can only be used by clinics authorised and trained by the brand.

You will feel mild discomfort, which many people describe as a comb scratching the skin. Anaesthetic cream is not usually needed. We adjust the depth and intensity to keep the session as comfortable as possible.

Needling a full face takes about 20 minutes. With cleansing, applying the active ingredient and the final soothing product, the appointment is a little longer.

It depends on your goal: for example, 4 sessions every 6 weeks for fine lines, 4 to 6 every 2 to 4 weeks for acne, or 4 to 5 every 6 weeks for scars. You will find all the guidelines in the section "How many sessions do I need?" and we confirm them at your assessment.

Redness usually fades within 2 days at most and you can carry on as normal straight away. Avoid make-up for the first 24 hours and, for the first few days, direct sun, swimming pools, saunas and intense exercise.

Between days 5 and 10 it is normal to notice dryness, itching or flaking, and for pigmentation to darken slightly or acne to flare briefly. This is the skin's renewal phase and it passes on its own. If you are worried, get in touch with us.

Radiance improves within a few days and some changes are visible from the first session. The full result comes with the course of sessions, because new collagen takes weeks to form; according to the manufacturer, regeneration continues for up to 24 months.

Yes. Because it uses no heat, it is suitable for all skin tones and carries a lower risk of pigmentation than heat-based treatments such as laser. For melasma it is combined with depigmenting active ingredients and daily sun protection.

Yes, it is one of its main indications. Dermapen 4 has a dedicated scar mode and treats depressed scars (ice pick, boxcar or rolling), as well as surgical, injury or burn scars. Improvement is progressive and depends on each scar.

Yes, acne and acne-prone skin are among its indications. If there are very inflamed or infected lesions, we calm them first and never needle over them.

It helps them look smaller: the new collagen tightens the skin around the pore and refines the texture. No treatment permanently reduces pore size, so maintenance is advisable.

Yes. It improves their texture, colour and appearance. The sooner they are treated, the better they respond (red, pink or purple ones still have a blood supply), although older white ones can also be treated. We can treat the abdomen, thighs, hips or arms.

Yes, we use it on the scalp. The micro-channels carry the active ingredients down to the root and stimulate the formation of small blood vessels that nourish the follicle. It works while the follicle is still alive: in androgenetic alopecia, at an early stage; also in alopecia areata, hair loss caused by tight hairstyles or shedding after a stressful period. An inactive follicle can only be restored with a transplant. A course is usually 4 to 6 sessions every 4 weeks; see us as soon as you notice hair loss, and protect your scalp from the sun.

It helps reduce redness and strengthen the skin so that it is less reactive, but it does not cure rosacea. It is best to avoid its triggers (sun, alcohol, spicy food, very hot drinks, sudden changes in temperature) and to use sun protection every day.

A roller enters the skin at an angle and can drag it. Dermapen 4 works vertically, with adjustable depth and sterile single-use cartridges, so it is more precise, more even and more comfortable. Deep needling should always be carried out by a professional, never at home.

Yes, in the hands of trained professionals, with sterile single-use consumables and under strict hygiene conditions. We only use sterile active ingredients suitable for infusion: applying unsuitable products to freshly treated skin can cause reactions.

It is not carried out over open wounds, active infections or cold sores. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, only with your doctor's approval (at our centre we prefer to postpone it). It is not a treatment for varicose veins. If you tend to form keloid scars or take medication for your skin, please tell us at your assessment.

Yes, it is often part of hydration, firming, pigmentation or rejuvenation protocols. We will advise you on the best order and intervals.

Yes, although it is important to follow our advice and protect your skin from the sun after each session, especially in summer.
