Skin Tag and Wart Removal Technique
Electrocautery (radiofrequency) Treatment of Skin Tag / Laser Treatment of Skin Tags
On the principle of increasing frequency and voltage while simultaneously decreasing the amperage of alternating current the theory of radiofrequency works. After that radio waves are modified to produce different waveforms which are passed in the laser. High frequency radio surgical devices are used in transferring electrical energy to human tissue with the help of treatment electrode that in turn cools it. Electrical resistance of human tissue converts electrical energy into molecular energy which in turn causes denaturation of intracellular and extracellular protein. Cell membrane gets ruptured when the temperature is raised to boiling point. When the heat is spread laterally it causes thermal damage.
Advantages of Radio frequency Ablation
- OPD procedure
- Lesser time
- Fast healing without any downtime
- Minimal or no bleeding.no risk or side effect
- No cuts no scar or stitches.
