Treatment Areas
Treatment Benefits
Fordyce spot removal at our prestigious Harley Street clinic is a popular treatment for many experiencing this minor skin concern. Our effective approach utilises the cutting-edge CO2 laser to delicately target the affected areas. Fordyce spots, also known as Fordyce granules, commonly manifest on the lips, cheeks, and genitalia. Despite their appearance, these spots are neither painful nor contagious.
Diagnosing Fordyce spots can be challenging for the average person, often leading to confusion with other conditions, including sexually transmitted infections. We strongly advise against self-diagnosis and encourage seeking professional medical advice. While these spots may seem unsightly, rest assured they are entirely harmless. Typically appearing in white, yellow, or red clusters, Fordyce spots are usually small, often no more than a millimeter in diameter. Due to their size and location, many individuals opt for non-surgical, non-invasive removal methods.
The origin of Fordyce spots is believed to be linked to clogged pores or sebaceous glands, although the precise cause remains unclear. What is known is that these spots tend to become more prevalent with age. Cosmetic removal of Fordyce spots can be carried out on anybody over the age of 18, or with guardian approval starting from 16 years old.

This method is suitable for all skin types, with minimal risks involved. Surgical removal is not recommended for Fordyce spots, as it carries the potential for scarring or hyperpigmentation/hypopigmentation. The controlled removal process stimulates the body’s self-healing abilities to encourage new collagen production. Thanks to the laser’s sterilising effect, you will not see any blood during the procedure. Most patients require only one session for effective results, though severe, long-term cases may need additional sessions.
With a global presence in over 120 countries, DEKA stands at the forefront of innovation in the medical sector worldwide, offering unparalleled applications and systems for medicine, surgery, and aesthetic dermatology.

Spotting Fordyce Spots
I went to Eve clinics to get a skin tag and DPNs removed. I spoke to Florina and had a consultation with the doctor and they were both really nice and professional. Everything was done the same day and she called me after to check up on me and how I was healing. The skin healed nicely with no scars. They also have very good prices too. Would recommend 5/5.
