Electrocautery Procedures

Electrocautery Procedures

Electrocautery is a widely used dermatological procedure that involves the use of a high-frequency electric current to remove or destroy unwanted tissue. It is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment method for various skin conditions. At Dr. Rojitha’s Skin Clinic, electrocautery is performed using advanced equipment under strict hygiene standards to ensure optimal results and patient comfort.

This procedure works by passing an electric current through a fine probe, which generates heat. The heat is then used to cut, coagulate, or ablate abnormal or unwanted skin tissues. Electrocautery is commonly used to treat conditions such as skin tags, warts, moles, seborrheic keratosis, xanthelasma, milia, and other benign skin growths. It is also useful in stopping minor bleeding during small dermatological procedures.

One of the main advantages of electrocautery is that it provides precise control over the treated area, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The procedure is generally quick, often completed in a single session, and usually requires only local anesthesia. Recovery is relatively fast, and most patients can return to their daily activities shortly after the procedure.

Patients may experience mild redness or scabbing at the treated site, which usually heals within a few days to a week. Post-procedure care typically involves keeping the area clean and avoiding sun exposure to prevent pigmentation changes. Dr. Rojitha ensures that every patient receives detailed aftercare instructions for proper healing and long-term skin health.

Electrocautery is especially beneficial for those looking for a non-surgical, cost-effective, and efficient method to remove cosmetic skin lesions or growths. It is suitable for various skin types and can be safely performed on different areas of the body, including the face, neck, underarms, and back.

At Dr. Rojitha’s Skin Clinic, each case is assessed individually, and the treatment is tailored according to the patient’s skin type, condition, and medical history. With her expertise in dermatology and a patient-centric approach, Dr. Rojitha ensures that the procedure is not only effective but also comfortable and stress-free.
