DPN Removal at Dr. Kiran Puttaramaiah’s Skin & Hair Transplant Clinic

Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN) is a common skin condition characterized by small, benign, dark bumps that usually appear on the face, neck, and sometimes on other parts of the body. While medically harmless, DPN can cause cosmetic concerns, especially when present in prominent areas. At Dr. Kiran Puttaramaiah’s Skin & Hair Transplant Clinic, we specialize in safe, effective, and precise DPN removal procedures to restore smoother, clearer skin and enhance your natural appearance.

Understanding DPN

DPN is more common in individuals with darker skin tones and often runs in families, suggesting a genetic component. These lesions are not contagious and do not pose any health risks. However, their appearance can affect self-confidence, especially when they increase in number or size over time.

Factors contributing to DPN include:

• Genetics – A strong hereditary link is observed.

• Age – Often appears in adulthood and tends to increase with age.

• Skin Type – More prevalent in individuals with higher melanin levels.

Advanced DPN Removal Techniques

At Dr. Kiran Puttaramaiah’s Clinic, we use advanced dermatological methods to ensure effective removal while minimizing the risk of scarring or pigmentation changes. Our approach is tailored to each patient’s skin type, number of lesions, and cosmetic goals.

Common techniques include:

1. Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation – Uses controlled heat energy to precisely remove the lesions with minimal damage to surrounding tissue.

2. Electrocautery – A safe and widely used method that cauterizes the bumps, allowing them to heal naturally.

3. Laser Therapy – High-precision lasers target the pigmented lesions, breaking them down without harming surrounding skin.

4. Surgical Excision – In rare cases for larger growths, a minor surgical procedure may be performed.

Our clinic emphasizes precision, ensuring that the removal process is comfortable and leaves the skin with minimal marks.

What to Expect During the Procedure

DPN removal is generally quick, often completed within a single session depending on the number of lesions. The area is first cleansed and numbed using a topical or local anesthetic to ensure comfort. The selected treatment method is then applied, and post-procedure care instructions are provided.

Procedure Highlights:

• Duration: 15–45 minutes depending on the number of lesions.

• Pain: Minimal to none due to anesthesia.

• Downtime: Minimal, with most patients resuming normal activities immediately.

Aftercare and Recovery

Post-treatment care is crucial to ensure smooth healing and avoid pigmentation changes:

• Keep the treated area clean and dry.

• Apply prescribed ointments or creams as directed.

• Avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen regularly.

• Do not pick or scratch the treated spots.

Within a week or two, the treated areas typically heal completely, revealing smoother skin.
