FAQs

DPNs typically emerge around the age of 30 and tend to increase in number over time, contributing to a perception of aging in some individuals. More prevalent in individuals with skin of color, notably among African Americans and Asians, these skin tags also exhibit a higher occurrence in women. At Doctor Edges, we understand the diverse nature of skin conditions, and our team is committed to providing comprehensive care tailored to individual needs.

At Doctor Edges Hair Restoration & Aesthetics, the process of eliminating DPNs includes facial cleansing, the application of a topical numbing cream for comfort, followed by gentle cauterization using a hyfrecator to remove the DPNs. Raised lesions may require surgical extraction. Post-procedure, a healing ointment is topically applied to the treated areas, and this regimen continues for one week for optimal recovery.

The procedure typically involves the application of a topical gel and local anesthesia for patient comfort. Its efficiency is determined by the quantity of DPNs to be removed, resulting in a swift process. Following the removal, the treated skin is covered with a healing ointment applied twice daily for seven days. While the skin typically heals within 5 to 7 days, residual sensitivity may persist for approximately two weeks. Once the skin has fully healed, regaining its normal color or close to it, discerning the original location of the DPN becomes challenging.
