DPN removal is a precision-based treatment designed to reduce the appearance of Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN) — small, benign, raised pigmented lesions commonly found on the face, neck and body.

Using controlled cauterisation, targeted thermal energy is applied to individual lesions to facilitate their removal while minimising unnecessary trauma to the surrounding skin.

The treatment focuses on improving skin texture and creating a smoother, more uniform appearance. Each lesion is assessed individually to determine suitability, treatment approach and expected healing response.

The goal isn’t simply removal.
It’s precision, controlled healing and refined skin texture.

Downtime

Immediately after treatment, small treated areas may appear darker, slightly raised or develop tiny crusts as part of the natural healing process.

Mild redness, swelling and sensitivity are expected. Small scabs will typically form and should be allowed to shed naturally.

Healing time varies depending on the number, size and location of lesions treated. Temporary pigmentation changes can occur, particularly in melanated skin.

Treatment Frequency

Many clients achieve their desired outcome within one session, although multiple appointments may be required depending on lesion quantity, size and distribution.

Where further treatment is indicated, sessions should only be scheduled once the skin has fully healed and been reassessed.

DPN lesions should be appropriately identified before treatment. Any changing, bleeding, irregular or uncertain lesion requires medical assessment rather than cosmetic removal.

Aftercare

During the initial healing period:

• Keep treated areas clean and dry as instructed.

• Avoid picking, scratching or prematurely removing crusts.

• Avoid exfoliants, retinoids and other active skincare on treated areas.

• Avoid direct sun exposure and apply broad-spectrum SPF 50 once the skin has closed.

• Avoid swimming, excessive heat and activities that may irritate the treated areas until healed.

• Do not apply makeup over open or healing treatment sites.

Freshly treated skin requires time to repair. Protecting the area is essential to minimise irritation, reduce the risk of infection and support optimal healing.

Precision in treatment. Patience in healing. Confidence in your skin.
