Gentle Removal of Dermatofibroma (Histiocytoma) – Modern CellFX Treatment in Zurich Enge.
Small, firm skin nodules on the legs are very common in women. In many cases, these are dermatofibromas (histiocytomas) – benign skin growths that are medically harmless but can be cosmetically bothersome. Dermatofibromas (histiocytomas) on the legs often become more noticeable during spring and summer when skirts, shorts, or swimwear are worn.
A dermatofibroma (histiocytoma) often develops after minor skin injuries, insect bites, or inflammation. Typical signs include small brownish or reddish nodules that feel firm and frequently appear on the lower legs. Many patients therefore wish to have a dermatofibroma (histiocytoma) removed in a gentle way – ideally without surgery and without visible scarring.
At the Derma Competence Center in Zurich Enge, Dr. Schnitzler offers modern treatment of dermatofibromas (histiocytomas) using the innovative CellFX technology.
During CellFX treatment for dermatofibromas (histiocytomas), ultra‑short electrical pulses are delivered precisely to the affected skin cells. This technology, known as Nano‑Pulse Stimulation, triggers a natural biological process in which the unwanted cells of the dermatofibroma (histiocytoma) are gradually cleared by the body. The surrounding healthy tissue remains largely unaffected.
CellFX treatment for dermatofibromas (histiocytomas) offers several advantages: it is minimally invasive, usually takes only a few minutes, and carries a low risk of scarring – an important factor for skin changes on the legs.
Anyone wishing to remove a dermatofibroma (histiocytoma) should ideally plan treatment in spring. This allows the skin enough time to regenerate before more skin is shown during the summer months.
A specialist dermatological examination ensures that the lesion is indeed a dermatofibroma (histiocytoma) and determines the most suitable therapy.
At the Derma Competence Center, Dr. Schnitzler provides individual consultations regarding the modern and gentle CellFX treatment for dermatofibromas (histiocytomas).
