Electrocautery is a device used to treat skin lesions and small tumors. It burns or cuts unwanted tissue on the skin using high-frequency electrical current. This method is effective in treating warts, small tumors, moles and some types of skin cancer.
Electrocautery is performed under local anesthesia and the procedure is usually quick and painless. After the procedure, slight redness and crusting may occur on the skin, but these side effects quickly subside. Electrocautery is a safe and effective treatment method, leaves minimal scarring on the skin, and usually only one session is sufficient. This method provides precise and rapid removal of skin lesions.
