Exclusive method

DermatológicaMENTE Method

Developed over two decades of treating psychodermatoses. It unites skin science with psychoeducation so treatment reaches the emotional root of the problem.

Grounded in the principles of Psychodermatology, the DermatológicaMENTE Method uses psychoeducation to offer tools that create a learning field for patients with psychodermatoses.

Patients often arrive with dermatological complaints without understanding the emotional aspects involved in the development or exacerbation of the disease. The method helps you understand the connection between mind and skin, improving quality of life and emotional well-being.

How it works

Four phases of care

Each phase is designed for you to be the protagonist of your own treatment.

  1. 01

    Integral listening

    A careful first consult — I want to know your story, not just your lesion.

  2. 02

    Psychoeducation

    You understand the link between what you feel and what shows up on your skin. That understanding is already part of the treatment.

  3. 03

    Integrated plan

    Dermatological treatment (clinical, aesthetic or surgical) plus mind-body tools: breathing, mindfulness, stress management.

  4. 04

    Follow-up

    Regular returns to adjust the plan, reduce relapses and consolidate lifestyle change.
