DPN Treatment: A Safe, Effective Solution for Darker Skin Tones

At Pretty Skin, we specialize in safely and effectively treating Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN)—the small, dark papules that commonly appear on melanin-rich skin (Fitzpatrick types IV-VI) and can lead to cosmetic concerns. Our preferred method uses high-frequency technology, which delivers controlled electrical energy to gently clear each spot with precision and minimal downtime.

How Pretty Skin’s High-Frequency DPN Treatment Works

• Personalized Care: Every treatment begins with a thorough skin assessment and application of a numbing cream to ensure your comfort.

• Targeted Precision: Our trained esthetician uses a fine-tipped, high-frequency device to selectively treat each DPN papule, producing a superficial crust.

• Quick Healing: These crusts shed naturally in 5–10 days, revealing smoother, clearer skin. Most clients return to normal activities immediately after the procedure.

Why Clients Choose Pretty Skin for DPN Removal

• Safe for Darker Skin Tones: High-frequency treatments at Pretty Skin are meticulously tailored for clients with melanin-rich skin, minimizing risks of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or scarring.

• Affordable Excellence: Our pricing is competitive and transparent—far less than advanced laser therapies, yet delivering transformative results.

• Proven Satisfaction: Clients enjoy high clearance rates and cosmetic outcomes, with minimal discomfort thanks to expert technique and attentive aftercare.

Aftercare Guidance

• Protect: Avoid sun exposure during healing to prevent pigment changes.

• Moisturize: Apply gentle ointment daily until healed.

• Be Gentle: Skip exfoliants or retinoids for two weeks before and after treatment.

What to Expect

• In some cases, larger clusters of papules may require two to three sessions, spaced one to two weeks apart.

• Treated DPNs don’t return, but new ones may develop naturally over time—follow-up appointments keep your complexion clear and smooth.

At Pretty Skin, our high-frequency DPN removal strikes the balance between effectiveness and safety, especially for clients with darker skin tones seeking a cost-effective solution and minimal downtime. If you’re ready for clear, confident skin, book your personalized DPN consultation today.
