What Do PPP Look Like Before Treatment?
Before removal, PPP typically appear as:
- Small, smooth, dome-shaped bumps
- Flesh-coloured or slightly lighter
- Arranged in neat rows around the corona
- Symmetrical
They are not caused by infection and are not sexually transmitted.
Immediately After PPP Removal
Right after treatment, it is normal to see:
- Mild redness
- Slight swelling
- Small superficial marks where papules were removed
This is part of the normal healing response.
Professional treatment focuses on controlled precision to minimise tissue disruption.
