Electrocautery is a dermatological procedure that uses electric current to burn or destroy unwanted tissue. It's commonly used for the removal of skin tags, warts, moles, and benign growths.
What's Included
How It Works
-
A fine probe conducts heat to the targeted tissue, cauterizing or cutting it with minimal bleeding. The heat effectively seals blood vessels, reducing the risk of infection and promoting fast healing.
What Can It Treat?
- Skin tags
- Warts
- Moles (non-cancerous)
- Seborrheic keratosis
- Xanthelasma (fat deposits on eyelids)
Advantages
- Quick and minimally invasive
- Low cost with high precision
- Minimal bleeding or scarring
- Can be performed in-clinic with local anesthesia
Aftercare & Recovery
-
Mild redness or scabbing may occur post-procedure. Avoid direct sunlight, picking, or scrubbing the treated area. Healing typically occurs within 7–10 days.
