Pearly Penile Papules Removal
Benefits
A single Erbium YAG laser treatment offers several advantages for the removal of PPP:
Precision
The laser can target the PPPs as individual lesions, minimising damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
Minimal Discomfort
The procedure is generally well-tolerated, with minimal pain or discomfort.
Quick Recovery
Healing time is typically short, allowing for a quick return to normal activities.
Effective Results
Erbium YAG laser treatment is highly effective in removing PPPs, aiming to improve appearance.
Minimal Scarring
The laser's precision and gentle nature help to minimise scarring.
It's important to note that individual results may vary, and it's always recommended to consult with a qualified professional to discuss your specific needs and expectations.
Treatment guide
PPP removal using Erbium YAG Laser technology is generally well-tolerated. The removal process is simple, you may apply a topical anaesthetic cream for 30 minutes to numb the area and then the laser is used to vaporise and remove the papules. The removal procedure is quick, usually around 30 minutes.
What to Expect After PPP Removal
After the procedure, you will be instructed to apply a healing ointment for about a week. Normal sexual activity can usually be resumed once the area has fully healed.
Considerations
Characteristically, they are clusters of small rounded or elongated skin-coloured papules (bumps) distributed in rows along the corona of the glans (head) of the penis. They do not normally go away on their own although their appearance may reduce with age.
Pearly Penile Papules is a benign and harmless condition affecting up to 10-30% of young males in some studies and are only significant because they cause a lot of anxiety to young men and often their partners.
They are not caused by infection, disease or poor hygiene and are not sexually transmitted nor can they be transmitted to others. They are considered to be a variant of normal.
Each individual’s presentation is different, and outcomes can vary. A consultation is required to determine suitability, discuss the potential benefits and risks, and outline appropriate treatment options.
