Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN) Removal, on your doorstep.
Our Reading clinic on 292 Oxford Road (RG30 1AD) offers dermatosis papulosa nigra (dpn) removal, and is an easy visit for anyone in Tilehurst, Caversham, Earley, Whitley, Woodley, Wokingham, Theale. You get the same qualified clinicians, clinical-grade technology and written, transparent pricing used across the CoLaz network, close to home.
Send a photo of your DPN cluster to your nearest CoLaz clinic on WhatsApp. A qualified clinician experienced in darker skin tones reviews the image, confirms whether removal is suitable, and replies with a fixed price within one working day. We use advanced electrolysis: a fine needle delivers a current to each papule, which is then gently lifted away. We always start with a test patch to see how your skin responds before treating the wider cluster.
Every treatment starts with a free consultation, and your plan and price are agreed in writing before you book a single session. To get started, message the Reading team with a photo on WhatsApp, or read the full dermatosis papulosa nigra (dpn) removal treatment guide.

Do I need a consultation before dermatosis papulosa nigra (dpn) removal at the Reading clinic? +
Every treatment at CoLaz Reading starts with a free consultation with a qualified clinician, in person or by WhatsApp. It reviews your goals, your suitability and any contraindications, then ends with a written plan and a clear price. Nothing is booked without your agreement.
What is Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra? +
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra, or DPN, is a benign skin condition where small dark brown or black raised papules develop on the face, neck and upper chest, most commonly on Fitzpatrick skin types 4 to 6 (darker skin tones). They typically start appearing in late adolescence or early adulthood and increase in number gradually with age. They often run in families. They are entirely benign, do not turn into anything more serious, and they are essentially a darker-skin equivalent of seborrhoeic keratoses.
How does DPN removal work at CoLaz? +
We use advanced electrolysis as the precision method for DPN, the same method used by experienced UK practitioners working on darker skin tones. A very fine probe is placed at each papule and a brief low-energy current is delivered for a fraction of a second. The papule is then gently lifted away. The skin appears grazed and tiny scabs form, sloughing away naturally over a few days to reveal clear skin underneath. We treat papules one at a time across the cluster, in staged sessions rather than all at once.
How do I send a photo for a quote? +
Tap the Send a photo on WhatsApp button at the top of this page. Choose our Derby or Reading clinic. WhatsApp opens with a pre-filled message; attach a clear, well-lit close-up of the cluster and send. We may ask one or two follow-up questions (your skin tone, family history of DPN, whether anything has changed in the cluster) so we can quote you accurately and choose the safest staging plan.
