Electrocaurtry
What is Electrocaurtry ?
Electrocautery is a safe and effective medical procedure that uses electrical current to heat a special device, which is then applied to tissue to remove, cut, or destroy abnormal or unwanted growths. It is widely used in dermatology, minor surgeries, and cosmetic treatments to treat skin lesions, warts, moles, and more.
If you have unwanted skin lesions or growths and are looking for a safe and quick treatment, electrocautery may be the right solution for you. Contact us today to schedule your consultation with our experienced medical team.
How Does It Work?
Electrocautery works by using a heated metallic probe or needle to:
- Cut through soft tissue
- Stop bleeding by sealing blood vessels (hemostasis)
- Remove unwanted tissue, such as benign skin growths or warts
The procedure is minimally invasive, quick, and usually performed under local anesthesia.
Conditions Treated with Electrocautery
- Warts
- Skin tags
- Moles (non-cancerous)
- Corns and calluses
- Seborrheic keratosis
- Xanthelasma (fat deposits on eyelids)
- Small vascular lesions (cherry angiomas, spider veins)
Benefits of Electrocautery
- Quick, outpatient procedure
- Minimal bleeding and reduced risk of infection
- Precise targeting of affected areas
- Minimal scarring with proper care
- Faster recovery compared to traditional surgical methods
What to Expect During the Procedure
- A topical or local anesthetic is applied to numb the area.
- A specialized probe delivers controlled heat to the targeted tissue.
- The lesion is removed or destroyed in a matter of minutes.
- A mild scab may form, which heals within a few days.
Post-Procedure Care
- Keep the treated area clean and dry.
- Avoid picking at scabs.
- Use prescribed ointments, if any.
- Protect the area from sun exposure.
Most patients can return to normal activities the same day.
