Safe Removal of Common Skin Blemishes
Small skin bumps like milia, warts, and DPN can be bothersome, but they are easily managed. Do not try to remove them at home, as this frequently leads to permanent scarring and infection.
This video demonstrates the simple and effective procedure of needling to remove milia, which are small white bumps often found on the face. It is a painless procedure that provides immediate results.
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN) are common, harmless dark spots that can be a cosmetic concern. This video answers frequently asked questions about DPN and explains how they can be safely removed in the clinic using radiofrequency.

About this collection
I specialize in precise, in-clinic removal for these concerns using techniques like radiofrequency and needling. By opting for professional care, you avoid the common pitfalls of DIY attempts, such as hyperpigmentation or incomplete removal, ensuring your skin heals smoothly.
Skin growths like milia, Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN), and warts are common, but they are also frequently misunderstood. Many patients try to scrape, pop, or treat these with over-the-counter remedies, which often makes the condition worse. As a board-certified dermatologist, my goal is to provide a diagnosis and a safe path to clear, healthy skin.
How I Approach Removal
- Milia: These small white bumps are often mistaken for acne. I perform a simple, painless needling procedure in-clinic to extract them without damage to the surrounding skin.
- Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN): These harmless dark spots are often a cosmetic concern. I use precise radiofrequency (RF) to remove them at the stalk, ensuring the skin remains level and clear.
- Warts: These are viral and can spread if left untreated. I treat them early to prevent further growth, utilizing techniques that are effective and medically sound.
Why Medical Expertise Matters
The skin is delicate. Using the wrong tool or applying harsh chemicals at home can lead to secondary infections, darker spots, or deep scarring. My procedures are always preceded by a thorough assessment of your medical history and the nature of the lesion. Whether it is a quick RF session or a specialized extraction, the focus is on a sterile, controlled environment that guarantees safety. If you have been struggling with recurring skin bumps, stop the guesswork and come in for a professional assessment. We will map out a treatment plan that ensures your skin returns to its natural, smooth texture.
