Simple Elective Procedures for Your Skin | Facial Aesthetics Chicago IL

Chicago Facial Aesthetics

Moles, skin tags, and Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN), while undesirable cosmetically, are harmless skin conditions. The removal of these growths may be performed for medical reasons to determine whether they are cancerous. The majority of elective growth removal procedures are motivated by cosmetic concerns. Providing aesthetic treatments such as these in our facial cosmetic office is as comfortable and straightforward as possible using the most advanced techniques. It is essential to know what types of skin conditions you have and what removal methods may be appropriate for you. 

Extraction of moles

We can quickly treat unsightly moles if they are a bother. For superior cosmetic results, we use radio-wave technology for incision-free mole removal. There is no downtime associated with this procedure because it is minimally invasive. It is important for patients to continually observe changes in the color, size, and behavior of their moles and other growths.

Getting rid of skin tags

A skin tag is a harmless, typical growth present in almost everyone. However, if they appear on the face or repeatedly rub against clothing, they can be unsightly and irritate the skin. Fortunately, skin tag removal is a relatively simple procedure that takes about 15 minutes. Your skin will become smoother immediately, and collagen production will be stimulated to rejuvenate the area without scarring, bleeding, or hyperpigmentation. The recovery time is generally less than a week.

The removal of Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN)

DPN, which develops a few brown spots on the face or other body parts, is a skin condition. They first become apparent during the teenage years, gradually becoming more prominent as one gets older. People of African and Asian descent are most likely to suffer from it, especially those with Fitzpatrick skin types III to VI. While it is completely benign or harmless, it will not subside on its own and there may be some cosmetic concerns. Our facial aesthetics doctor in 60619 offers cosmetic DPN lesion removal techniques as part of our facial cosmetic services. As with other types of moles, we remove these “facial moles” in a similar manner. 

Depending on their location, size, and color, a mole, skin tag, or DPN can make your skin appear unsightly. While they are generally harmless, they can negatively impact your self-esteem. When determining whether a removal procedure is worth it, consider the minimal time commitment necessary to achieve the smooth, growth-free skin you desire.
