DPN / Skin Tag Removal

DPN & SKIN TAG REMOVAL

Clearer-Looking Skin. Precision Treatment. Confidence in Your Skin.

Small skin growths can be frustrating, especially when they appear on visible areas such as the face and neck.

At Aniekanvas Aesthetics , our DPN & Skin Tag Removal service is designed to safely and precisely address suitable benign-appearing skin tags and DPNs , helping create a smoother, more even-looking appearance.

Every client and every growth is different, which is why we begin with an assessment before treatment.

WHAT ARE DPNs & SKIN TAGS?

DPN — Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra

DPNs are small, usually dark brown to black, raised skin growths that commonly appear on the face, particularly around the cheeks, temples and forehead. They are especially common in deeper skin tones.

SKIN TAGS

Skin tags are small, soft, benign-appearing growths that can develop on areas such as the neck, underarms, eyelids and other areas where skin experiences friction.

Although DPNs and skin tags are generally benign, not every skin growth should be cosmetically treated .

Any growth that looks unusual, changes, bleeds, becomes painful, or has not been previously assessed should be evaluated by a qualified medical professional before cosmetic treatment.

WHAT CAN WE TREAT?

Our DPN & Skin Tag Removal service may be suitable for:

Suitable DPNs Small benign-appearing skin tags Certain small raised cosmetic skin imperfections

COMMON TREATMENT AREAS

Depending on suitability, treatment may be performed on areas such as:

• Face • Neck • Underarms • Chest • Back • Other suitable areas

Certain areas, including very close to the eyes or other sensitive locations, may require additional assessment or may not be suitable for treatment.

WHAT TECHNIQUE IS USED?

Precision Cauterization

At Aniekanvas Aesthetics , suitable DPNs and skin tags may be treated using a cauterization technique . Cauterization uses controlled thermal energy to precisely treat targeted tissue.

Before treatment, each growth is assessed to determine whether it is appropriate for cosmetic treatment.

BENEFITS OF CAUTERIZATION

Minimally Invasive

Cauterization is a targeted cosmetic technique that does not require traditional surgical excision. Treatment is performed directly on the selected growth, with healing taking place naturally afterward.

Precision-Focused Treatment

Controlled thermal energy allows us to target individual growths with precision, helping minimize unnecessary treatment to the surrounding skin.

Focused Cosmetic Treatment

Because the treatment is concentrated on the selected growth, we can address individual areas without treating large sections of surrounding skin.

Convenient Treatment

Depending on the number, size and location of the growths, multiple suitable growths may be treated during the same appointment , making the process convenient for clients with several areas they would like addressed.

Customized to Your Skin

Every treatment is adjusted according to the individual growth, treatment area and your skin's characteristics. This is particularly important when treating melanin-rich skin , which may be more susceptible to temporary pigmentation changes following skin trauma.

One Appointment May Be Enough

For many small, suitable growths, treatment may be completed during one appointment . However, additional treatment or a follow-up assessment may be recommended depending on how the area heals and how the skin responds.

Results and healing vary from person to person. No specific number of sessions or outcome can be guaranteed.

YOUR TREATMENT EXPERIENCE

01 — CONSULTATION & ASSESSMENT

Before treatment, we assess the area and the individual growths you would like addressed.

We look at factors such as:

• Size • Shape • Colour • Location • Number of growths • Skin type • Previous skin reactions or scarring

This allows us to determine whether cosmetic treatment is appropriate.

If a growth appears suspicious or outside the scope of cosmetic treatment, we will not treat it and may recommend medical assessment.

02 — SKIN PREPARATION

The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed and prepared before the procedure.

For suitable clients, a topical numbing product may be used to improve comfort during treatment.

03 — PRECISION REMOVAL

A specialized cosmetic removal technique is used to precisely target the selected growth while minimizing unnecessary trauma to the surrounding skin.

Treatment is performed carefully and individually rather than rushing through multiple growths.

04 — POST-TREATMENT CARE

After treatment, the area may appear red, slightly swollen, darker than usual, or develop a small crust/scab as the skin begins to heal.

You'll receive detailed aftercare instructions to help support proper healing and reduce unnecessary irritation or pigment changes.

WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE DPN & SKIN TAG REMOVAL

Targeted treatment Precision-focused approach Suitable for many areas of the body Customized to your skin type Minimal treatment area No pigment or tattoo camouflage involved Designed to improve the appearance of unwanted growths

Because every person's skin heals differently, results and healing times vary.

WILL THE GROWTHS COME BACK?

The treated growth itself may be successfully removed, but new DPNs or skin tags can develop in the future .

Factors such as genetics, age, hormones and repeated friction can contribute to developing new growths.

Removing existing growths does not prevent new ones from forming.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

For many suitable, small growths, treatment may be completed in one appointment .

However, the number of appointments required depends on:

• Number of growths • Size and location • Type of growth • Skin response • Healing • Treatment area

Some areas may require a follow-up assessment after healing.

Your treatment plan will be determined during your consultation.

HOW LONG DOES THE APPOINTMENT TAKE?

Treatment time varies significantly from client to client.

The appointment may include:

Consultation → Preparation → Numbing → Precision Treatment → Aftercare

The number and size of growths being treated will affect the overall appointment time.

For larger treatment areas or multiple growths, additional time may be required.

Your appointment time is an estimate and does not necessarily represent the amount of time spent actively treating each growth.

IS IT PAINFUL?

Most clients describe the treatment as manageable.

A topical numbing product may be used when appropriate to help minimize discomfort.

You may still feel some pressure, warmth, tingling or brief sensitivity during treatment.

Individual pain tolerance varies.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT?

Immediately after treatment, you may experience:

• Redness • Mild swelling • Warmth or sensitivity • Darkening of the treated area • Small crusts or scabs • Temporary skin discoloration

These are possible parts of the normal healing response.

Do not pick, scratch or prematurely remove any scabbing.

Allow the skin to heal naturally and follow your personalized aftercare instructions.

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?

You may notice a visible difference immediately after treatment; however, the treated area is not considered fully healed immediately .

The skin needs time to repair itself.

As healing progresses, treated areas may change in colour and appearance before settling.

The final appearance can take several weeks to become clear, depending on the area treated and your individual healing response.

• Well-lit photos • No makeup over the treatment area • No filters • Clear, focused images • Multiple angles of each treatment area

Photos should accurately represent the growths you would like assessed.

Final suitability and pricing may change if the appearance of the area differs from the photographs provided.

IMPORTANT: NOT EVERY GROWTH CAN BE REMOVED

Your safety comes first.

We do not diagnose skin growths and cosmetic treatment should not be used to determine whether a growth is cancerous or medically concerning.

We will not cosmetically treat a growth that appears suspicious or requires medical evaluation.

Please see a qualified healthcare professional before booking if a growth:

• Is new and unexplained • Changes in size, shape or colour • Bleeds without an obvious cause • Is painful, itchy or persistently irritated • Has an irregular appearance • Develops a sore or ulceration • Looks significantly different from your other growths

When in doubt, have it medically assessed first.

CONTRAINDICATIONS & WHEN WE MAY POSTPONE TREATMENT

Treatment may need to be postponed or declined if you have:

• Active infection in the treatment area • Open wounds or broken skin • Active rash or significant irritation • Significant inflammation • Recent sunburn • A history of problematic or excessive scarring • Certain medications or medical conditions that may affect healing • An undiagnosed or suspicious skin growth

Please disclose all relevant medical conditions, allergies and medications during your consultation.

Never stop a prescribed medication solely for a cosmetic procedure without speaking with your prescribing healthcare professional.
