Advanced, safe and effective DPN removal for all skin tones, with specialist expertise in melanin-rich skin. Electrolysis short-wave diathermy at our Fleet Street clinic.
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra is a common, benign skin condition that appears as small, dark, raised bumps, often on the face, neck, chest and back.
It is especially common in people with African, Asian or Caribbean heritage. Although DPN is medically harmless, it can impact on tone, texture and self-confidence, and some people choose cosmetic removal.
Specialist treatment
How is DPN treated?
WOB Beauty uses electrolysis short-wave diathermy, a skin-safe technique, to target and remove individual DPN lesions with precision.
The treatment is safe, minimally invasive and carried out by a clinician who understands melanin-rich skin, to deliver visible, long-term results.
Please note: the 30-minute additional add-on to other areas is only available when added to a full treatment and is not a standalone treatment.

Frequently asked questions
Is DPN removal safe for darker skin?
WOB Beauty specialises in DPN removal for melanin-rich skin using electrolysis short-wave diathermy. Your skin and treatment area are assessed before treatment.
Does DPN removal hurt?
The treatment is described as involving minimal discomfort. Mild redness, swelling or tenderness can occur around the treated area afterwards.
Will DPNs come back after treatment?
Treated lesions are removed, and the technique is designed to prevent recurrence in the treated spots. New DPN can develop over time, which is why some clients return for maintenance sessions.
What is the recovery time?
Early redness can settle within a few days, while scabbing and pigmentation changes can take longer to fade. Your aftercare guidance explains what to expect for your treatment area.
How many DPNs can be removed in one appointment?
It depends on the size and density of the area. Appointments are priced by time or area, and Bola will advise on what can be covered once she has seen your photo.
How do I start treatment?
Tell us which area you would like assessed and send a clear photo by WhatsApp. Bola will review it and advise you on the appropriate next step.
