Electrocautery

Skin Lesion Removal

Our electrocautery service is designed to reliably remove skin lesions with precision. We offer electrocautery as an option for removal of small skin growths. This minimally invasive procedure is intended to support recovery and maintain skin health. Results can vary based on individual conditions.

What is Electrocautery?

Electrocautery is a medical technique that uses high-frequency electrical currents to cut, coagulate, desiccate, or fulgurate tissue. It enables precise removal of abnormal tissue while minimizing blood loss.

Our Approach to Electrocautery

Stage 1
Comprehensive Evaluation

We begin with a thorough assessment to evaluate the type and size of skin lesions. Our dermatologist will discuss your medical history and goals, ensuring that electrocautery is the most suitable option for effective treatment and optimal outcomes.

Stage 2
Precise Surgical Procedure

During the procedure, we use electrosurgical techniques to remove lesions with precision. Local anesthesia minimizes discomfort, and our focus is on achieving clean removal while preserving surrounding healthy tissue to ensure minimal scarring and quick recovery.

Stage 3
Post-Procedure Care and Follow-Up

After electrocautery, we provide detailed post-procedure care instructions to promote healing and prevent infection. Regular follow-ups monitor recovery progress, address concerns, and ensure that you achieve the best possible results and maintain long-term skin health.
