Skin Tags, Moles & Warts Treatment
(RF Cautery)

What is Skin Tags, Moles & Warts Treatment (RF Cautery)?

Skin Tag

Skin tags are small, benign growths that commonly appear on areas like the neck, underarms, and eyelids. They are usually harmless but can be removed for cosmetic reasons or if they cause irritation. Treatment options include cryotherapy (freezing off the tag with liquid nitrogen), surgical excision (cutting off the tag), or electrocautery (burning off the tag with an electric current)

The treatment process involves using a specialized device that delivers controlled radiofrequency energy to the growths, causing them to coagulate and be removed. The surrounding skin is left intact, and the recovery is typically quick with minimal discomfort.

Moles

Moles are pigmented skin lesions that can vary in color and size. While most moles are benign, some may need to be removed if they show signs of becoming cancerous, such as changes in color, size, or shape. Mole removal methods include surgical excision, where the mole is cut out and stitched up, or laser removal, which uses concentrated light to break down the mole's pigment

Warts

Warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can appear on any part of the body, often spreading through skin-to-skin contact. Common treatments for warts include cryotherapy, which freezes the wart, or topical treatments containing salicylic acid that gradually dissolve the wart tissue. For persistent warts, laser treatment or immunotherapy may be recommended.

After RF Cautery Treatment

After the RF cautery treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort in the treated area. This is normal and should subside within a few days. It is crucial to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your specialist, including keeping the area clean and avoiding any irritants.

A blister or scab might form over the treated area. Keep it clean and dry, and avoid picking at it. You may use cold compresses to alleviate any discomfort. Avoid direct sun exposure and follow any specific skincare recommendations given to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
