DPN Treatment in Albuquerque, NM

Understanding DPN and How It’s Treated
DPN, or Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra, is a benign skin condition that causes small, dark growths on the surface of the skin. While harmless, many people choose to have them treated for cosmetic reasons. At My Skin Esthetics in Albuquerque, we offer non-invasive DPN treatment using the Skin Classic device for safe, precise results.
Where DPN Appears and Who It Affects
DPN most commonly appears on the cheeks, forehead, temples, neck, and upper body. The spots are typically small, smooth, and dark in color. This condition is more common in individuals with deeper skin tones and often becomes more noticeable with age. While DPN is harmless, many clients choose treatment to improve skin clarity and texture.
What to Expect During DPN Treatment
Your visit begins with a consultation to examine the skin and confirm that Skin Classic is the right treatment for DPN. During the session, a fine-tipped probe delivers a brief pulse of high-frequency energy to each spot. Most clients feel a mild stinging sensation, similar to a quick zap. The treated areas may darken before naturally flaking off within several days. No cutting or numbing is required, and there’s little to no downtime.
Why Skin Classic Is Ideal for Treating DPN
Skin Classic offers precise, surface-level treatment that’s well suited for DPN. It targets each spot individually without damaging the surrounding skin, making it ideal for delicate areas like the face or neck. The device uses high-frequency energy to dry the outer layer of the growth, helping it shed naturally. For clients looking to improve skin texture with minimal discomfort and no downtime, Skin Classic is a safe and effective choice.

Frequently Asked Questions About DPN Treatment
Have questions about DPN or treatment options? Find quick answers to common concerns below.
What is the cause of Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra?
DPN is believed to be related to a buildup of epidermal cells, often linked to genetics and skin type. It’s more common in people with darker skin tones and usually develops gradually over time. At My Skin Esthetics in Albuquerque, we treat DPN with Skin Classic, a gentle, non-invasive method that targets each spot precisely.
Does DPN get worse with age?
Yes, DPN often becomes more noticeable with age. The number and size of papules can increase over time, especially on the face, neck, and upper chest. Clients at My Skin Esthetics in Albuquerque often seek treatment when the spots begin to multiply or become more visible.
Does Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra spread?
DPN is not contagious and doesn’t spread from person to person. However, more spots may gradually appear over time due to natural skin changes, age, or genetics. Regular treatment can help manage the appearance of DPN and maintain smoother skin.
How to avoid Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra?
Because DPN is largely hereditary, there’s no guaranteed way to prevent it. However, protecting your skin from excessive sun exposure and avoiding irritation may help reduce the chances of new spots forming. At My Skin Esthetics in Albuquerque, we can help you treat existing DPN safely and monitor any future changes.
Is DPN hereditary?
Yes, DPN tends to run in families and is more common in individuals with melanin-rich skin. While it's not harmful, many clients choose to have it treated for cosmetic reasons. My Skin Esthetics in Albuquerque offers non-invasive DPN treatment using Skin Classic to improve skin clarity and texture.
