PPP REMOVAL TREATMENTS

Dr. Crippen removes PPP (pearly penile papules) using the latest and most effective laser 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.

Pearly penile papules 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/IDENTIFYING PPP

Since pearly penile 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 corona 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(pearly penile papules) 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.
