Moles, Skin Tags etc. on visible areas of the skin are often found to be socially not very acceptable. In addition in some cases like Warts there is a infection which can spread to other people also. Also in some cases a benign mole or skin tag can lead to further complications.
Radio Frequency Cauterization is a procedure which involves controlled burning of the tissue using a high frequency low intensity electrical current. Since the electrical current used in fact of a very low intensity, the procedure is absolutely safe. The high frequency ensures a very smooth removal while leaving behind negligible or no marks.
The Procedure:
The procedure involves cleaning and preparation of the area to be treated, followed by application of a numbing cream. Then the area is exposed to the RF probe, causing a slight burning of the tissue. The procedure is practically painless. Post procedure the patient is typically advised topical antibiotic creams and asked to avoid sun exposure.
Results to Expect:
The skin tags, warts etc. are removed and only minor red bumps may be left behind which may turn into scabs. These scabs also disappear in a few days’ time, leaving behind a blemish free skin.
