Electrocautery is the highly effective, very safe method of removing a range of skin lesions using heat energy. A small handheld tool produces a tiny electric current, and the generated heat is used to ‘cauterise’, or remove, the unwanted growth. Electrocautery is used to remove skin tags, small cysts, brown spots, warts, verrucae and milia in just one efficient treatment.
Absolute precision is delivered in Aesthetic Health’s electrocautery procedures, to safely destroy unwanted tissues without damaging the healthy surrounding skin. The use of heat effectively closes off the lesion from the rest of the body, causing it to scab and eventually fall off after a few days. This is a very fast, safe, and accurate method of removing lesions, and can also be used to easily treat the appearance of broken capillaries and small blood vessels.
Our team, led by Dr Julia Sevi, takes great care when performing all of our treatments, and always provide the best care for our patients. We use leading brand Sterex for all of our electrocautery procedures, as it provides the safest, most effective results. We will also use topical numbing agents on the lesions to be treated, to numb any discomfort. It is usual to feel a short, mild stinging sensation while the procedure is completed. This will subside as soon as the treatment is over, but we take extra care to make sure you are comfortable.
