Removal of DPN, Skin Tags and Moles By Electrodissection
Are you bothered by dark bumps that appear in growing numbers on your face over the years?
We can make your skin smooth again by removing them by zapping the bumps with an electric current delivered by a fine-tipped probe. The same method can be used to get rid of skin tags and moles.
What is DPN?
Dermatosis papulosa nigra (DPN) is a common, benign skin condition that appears as small, dark or skin-colored bumps on the face, neck, and upper torso, especially in individuals with darker skin tones. DPN mostly affects peoples of African and Asian descent, and it tends to run in families. It is harmless and does not require treatment, but many people choose to have the bumps removed for cosmetic reasons.
What causes DPN?
The exact cause of Dermatosis papulosa nigra is unknown, but a family history of DPN increases the likelihood of developing it, and researchers have also found a link to sun exposure.
What Is Electrodissection?
Electrodissection uses electric current to dehydrate and remove abnormal skin tissue. At Beauty & Wellness Care, we do this with a Hyfrecator 2000 device. It allows the practitioner to quickly fine tune the power output to achieve the desired surgical effect.
How long does the procedure take?
DPN removal takes only a few minutes, and local anesthesia is used to relieve the mild discomfort.
Is the procedure safe?
The low‐intensity electrodissection technique has been found to be a safe and cost‐effective method for treating DPNs, according to the National Institutes of Health .
Are there any risks involved?
The main risks of using electrodissection for DPN removal are pigment changes, either darkening or lightening of the treated area, as well as the possibility of scarring.
Are there alternative treatments?
Other procedures for DPN removal involve cryotherapy, laser therapy and surgical snip excision.
Can DPN be cured permanently?
No, DPN spots can always return over time. Taking good care of your skin and protecting it from harmful UV rays always helps, though.
