PPP REMOVAL TREATMENTS

DermMedica removes PPP using the latest and most effective skin care technology. This frustrating condition is sometimes confused with HPV and other STIs, but the bumps are not contagious and not the result of sexual activity, or even personal habits. Instead, they form as a result of genetics.

They can be embarrassing or cause discomfort on the part of sexual partners, even though they don’t present a health risk. We respond to each individual case by creating a minimally-invasive and effective laser treatment plan.

SYMPTOMS/IDENTI FYING PPP

Since the papules are a skin variation and not a medical problem, they do not cause discomfort. The only symptom is the appearance of the bumps along the circumference of the tip of the penis. Penile papules are a genetic variation of normal in men. They are more common in uncircumcised men than circumcised men. Some primates have penile spines in a similar location so the papules may be a vestigial trait.

PPP TREATMENTS IN KELOWNA, BC

The papules cause no pain and are not dangerous from a health perspective so some men will choose to leave the condition untreated. However, many men find them embarrassing. Current or previous partners may have been concerned by their appearance or judgmental of them. This remedy removes the unpleasant emotional and social fallout that the papules can cause.

PPP elimination is achieved via a simple outpatient procedure called a C02 laser treatment. A C02 laser is used to vaporize the papules. This procedure can take as little as a few minutes to perform. The laser removes moisture from them and promotes the growth of healthy and youthful skin in their place. As a result, there is minimal risk and time loss associated with it. The cost of the procedure is low compared to the potential emotional benefits and alleviation of stigma.

During the procedure, the area is cleaned and a topical numbing agent is applied. No injections are involved. The anesthetic makes it so you will not feel anything during the procedure.

As we age and acquire more sun exposure, we start to experience freckling and unwanted brown spots rather than a nice even colour. Thankfully we have treatments that can even out that pigmentation and get us closer to what we once had.

We have a wide variety of options to treat sun damaged skin these days and surgery isn’t always required and can usually be avoided in most cases. Let’s feel about our skin the way Don Henley felt in his song: “And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong. After the boys of summer have gone.”

Unless you are a blushing bride, constant facial redness is not all that desirable in most situations. Beyond the cosmetic appearance, chronic facial redness can lead to more permanent skin changes over many years such as acne-like pimples, dry sensitive skin, dry eyes, enlarged nose and much more. Treating Rosacea is a must for anyone experiencing these symptoms to prevent any long-term damage to the skin.
