Radiofrequency Ablation
Electrocautery / Radiofrequency Ablation for Lesions?
Cryotherapy, Electrocautery, and Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) are precise, minimally invasive procedures used to remove various skin lesions such as warts, skin tags, moles, corns, seborrheic keratoses, and other benign growths.
These treatments are safe, effective, and quick, offering cosmetic improvement as well as relief from irritation or discomfort caused by raised or unwanted skin lesions.
Each technique works differently but achieves the same goal — removing abnormal skin tissue while promoting smooth healing.
Procedure Overview
Cryotherapy involves freezing the lesion with liquid nitrogen, which causes it to dry and fall off naturally within a few days.
Electrocautery uses controlled electrical current to burn and remove the targeted tissue with precision.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) employs high-frequency radio waves to vaporize or coagulate soft tissue with minimal damage to surrounding skin.
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, ensuring a painless experience. It takes about 10–30 minutes, depending on the number and size of lesions.
These methods are commonly used on the face, neck, underarms, or body, and leave minimal to no scarring when done by a skilled specialist.
Recovery and Results
After treatment, mild redness, swelling, or crusting may appear for 3–5 days, which heals naturally.
You’ll be advised to keep the area clean, avoid scratching, and apply a prescribed healing ointment.
Most lesions heal completely within 7–10 days, leaving smoother, clearer skin.
In some cases, slight pigmentation changes may occur temporarily, which gradually fade over a few weeks.
Results are long-lasting, and recurrence is rare when proper post-care is followed.
Patients love these procedures for being quick, effective, and requiring almost no downtime.
