Microneedling
A technology that has proven to deliver surprising results in microneedling is the Dermapen 4™.
It is a treatment that offers unparalleled collagen induction through a small portable device that penetrates up to 1,300 micro-needles per second into the skin, creating thousands of micro-injuries. These micro-injuries aim to open multiple channels, making the skin more permeable, while simultaneously stimulating and inducing the formation of collagen and elastin, as well as promoting rapid and intense cellular renewal.
Treatment
The controlled precision of the Dermapen 4™ triggers a defensive reaction from our body, leading to the multiplication of epithelial cells and, consequently, the renewal of tissues in the treated area.
This is where tissue remodeling occurs and the production of new dermal matrices takes place, migrating to the open micro-injuries, closing these channels, healing them, and creating new tissue rich in collagen and elastin, resulting in firmer, more even, and rejuvenated skin.
The results are visible immediately after the treatment. However, due to the healing process and collagen production, they will be more noticeable in the following weeks. Typically, 3-4 initial treatment sessions are recommended, with intervals of 4-8 weeks, depending on each case.
At Dr. Marta Beauty Clinic, we use the Dermapen 4™ as a standalone treatment or, to enhance results, it can also be combined with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma).

Who is a candidate?
The Dermapen 4™ is suitable for all skin types, including the most sensitive ones, and is aimed at anyone looking to improve the appearance of their skin.
Is it painful?
Being a minimally invasive procedure, the necessary precautions must be taken before the treatment begins. An anesthetic cream will be applied to the area to be treated, which will eliminate any discomfort during the procedure.
Some people may be more sensitive, but generally, the sensation can be compared to a rough massage. After the session, since the Dermapen 4™ creates a series of micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, some bleeding may occur. This effect has a minimum recovery time of approximately 24-48 hours.
Is it safe?
Yes. Rigorous clinical studies and scientific publications worldwide ensure its efficacy and safety. Microneedling does not penetrate the skin's natural barrier, only reaching the epidermis while preserving its integrity.
