Essencial Skin was founded in 2026 as an institution dedicated to dermatology, aesthetic medicine and comprehensive wellness. Its purpose is to accompany each person in the art of caring for their skin and in the authentic expression of their natural beauty.
We are backed by Escanografía Neurológica (ESCANO), a company with more than 45 years of experience in the health sector in Colombia. This experience translates into clinical rigor, certified processes and a culture of quality that now extends to personal care and wellness.
At Essencial Skin we believe that skin care goes beyond appearance; it is well-being, confidence and harmony with oneself. That is why every detail has been designed to turn personal care into a close, sophisticated and deeply special experience.
ESSENCIAL GUIDE
A space designed to answer the most common questions about our treatments, technologies and wellness protocols. Here you will find clear, safe answers backed by our specialized clinical knowledge.
Specialized consultation
Yes. All our treatments begin with a medical assessment. In it we learn your medical history, evaluate your skin and design a personalized, safe plan in line with your goals.
Yes. At Essencial we treat patients of all ages and genders with protocols adapted to the biological and physiological needs of each skin type.
Between 30 and 40 minutes. It is a space to listen to you, answer your questions and clearly explain the treatment options.
Your ID, the list of medications you take, recent test results if you have them, and the products you use in your skincare routine. It is also important to take photos of lesions that appear and disappear and to note when they occurred.
In some cases, yes. It depends on the indicated treatment, schedule availability and the absence of any contraindication. Your specialist will let you know during the assessment.
Treatments and procedures
Most are well tolerated. Depending on the procedure, we use topical anesthesia, cooling systems or techniques that minimize discomfort.
It depends on the treatment. Some show changes from the first session, while others, such as collagen biostimulators, offer gradual results over the following weeks. Your specialist will explain what to expect in your case.
Every skin is different. The number of sessions is defined at your assessment, based on your skin type, the condition to be treated and your goals.
Our philosophy is to enhance your beauty without transforming your essence. We work with personalized protocols that seek harmonious, natural results.
Yes, in the vast majority of cases you will not need medical leave. Most of our procedures (such as injectables, deep cleansings, serum therapy technology or hair removal) allow you to return to your daily routine immediately.
For procedures that produce a deeper skin renewal (such as certain lasers or chemical peels), you will not have a physical disability, but rather an aesthetic or social recovery of a few days (redness or peeling).
General recommendation: You will always be able to do your work and daily activities, but you should avoid direct sun exposure, intense exercise, saunas or pools during the first 24 to 72 hours, according to your specialist's instructions.
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, most advanced technologies and injectables are contraindicated. However, we have hydration and facial hygiene protocols designed specifically to safely accompany you during this stage.
Technology and safety
We have state-of-the-art technology, operated by trained professionals and under certified clinical protocols, backed by more than 45 years of ESCANO's experience in the health sector.
All medical procedures are performed by duly certified health professionals with specialized training.
Yes. We work only with products that have health registration and are purchased through authorized distributors.
Yes, some conditions require special precautions, such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, active infections, certain skin diseases or the use of certain medications. That is why a prior assessment is essential.
We have a post-procedure follow-up line via WhatsApp. For any discomfort, atypical inflammation or doubt, our medical team will evaluate your case.
Laser hair removal
Medical laser achieves a prolonged or permanent hair reduction (between 80% and 95%). Certain hormonal factors can stimulate isolated follicles to appear over time, so annual maintenance sessions are recommended.
Several sessions are generally required, since the laser acts on hair in its growth phase. The exact number depends on your skin and hair type and the area to be treated.
The interval varies depending on the area of the body. Your specialist will define the ideal frequency of sessions for your case.
No. Wax and tweezers pull hair out from the root, which is exactly what the laser needs in order to work. Between sessions you can only shave with a razor or use a trimmer.
Yes, as long as the skin has no active inflammation or recent sunburn. We have technologies adapted safely to different skin phototypes.
Wellness
It is a treatment in which you breathe oxygen in a higher-pressure environment, which promotes tissue oxygenation. It is always performed under medical indication and supervision.
No. Each serum therapy protocol is prescribed according to your medical assessment, your health status and your wellness goals.
