Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra Removal

Safe, Precise, and Expert Treatment by Perfect Image Consultants

Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN) is a common and harmless skin condition that appears as multiple small, dark, raised spots on the face and neck. Although medically benign, many people choose to have DPN removed for cosmetic reasons – to achieve smoother, clearer skin and greater confidence in their appearance.

At Perfect Image Consultants, we specialise in safe, controlled, and expertly performed DPN removal procedures using laser techniques that minimise pigmentation risk and ensure exceptional, natural-looking results.

What Is Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra?

Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra is:

A benign skin condition common among darker skin types (Fitzpatrick 4-6)
Characterised by multiple small brown or black papules typically on the cheeks, temples, forehead, and neck
Non-cancerous and medically harmless
Seen more frequently in individuals of African, Afro-Caribbean, Asian, or mixed ethnicity

Why Do People Remove DPN?

While harmless, DPN can:

Increase in size or number over the years
Become cosmetically bothersome
Affect confidence
Create uneven skin texture
Catch on clothing or jewellery

Our laser treatments remove DPN gently, safely, and effectively, leaving your skin clearer and smoother.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very happy with the treatment and whole experience to remove a cyst on my neck which had been there for some time.  Dr Bodhi clearly explained the procedure, which was painless and gave clear advice for the after care, having received 3 stitches. Very pleased with the end result and would highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have to add my 5 star review to the lot here. I had a cyst on the side of my head removed a month ago by Dr Bodhi (Dr Silva was also around) who provided an exceptional care from the first message all the way until the last appointment. The cyst was a bit inflamed so it took quite a while to get rid off on the day, that did not stop Dr Bodhi to do an excellent job and there is now very little marks left which is quite important seen the area. Fair price and everyone I came across was very friendly and welcoming.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had some surgery carried out by Dr Bodhi and I can say she was absolutely amazing , she explained everything clearly and precisely in a friendly manner before surgery , she then carried out the whole procedure whilst keeping me engaged  with conversation

It felt like I was talking to one of my friends  , as she made me feel safe and secure whilst she carried out the surgery by herself

After the procedure she then Informed me of great after care advice in which I updated her frequently

I am extremly happy with the outcome and hold high praise for Dr Bodhi friendly manner , professionalism ,sense of humour  and medical knowledge throughout the whole process

A fantastic job from Perfect Image Consultants to friendly Staff / Receptionist and an excellent Medical Team
