Electrocautery uses high-frequency electric current to remove skin lesions including warts, skin tags, moles, seborrhoeic keratoses, and other benign growths with great precision. At Safa Skin and Hair Clinic, we perform electrocautery as a safe, quick, and minimally scarring procedure.
Our dermatologists carefully evaluate each lesion before proceeding to ensure electrocautery is the most appropriate technique, delivering precise treatment with well-controlled depth and minimal surrounding tissue damage.
Electrocautery is performed under local anaesthesia, making the procedure entirely comfortable. Most lesions can be removed in a single session, with a small scab forming and healing over 1 to 2 weeks.
The technique is particularly effective for multiple small lesions such as skin tags, viral warts, and seborrhoeic keratoses, allowing efficient removal with excellent cosmetic results.
We evaluate each skin lesion clinically and with dermatoscopy to confirm its benign nature and suitability for electrocautery removal.
The procedure, expected healing timeline, post-care instructions, and potential for minimal scarring are explained fully before treatment is initiated.
Electrocautery is performed under local anaesthesia with precision, using controlled electrical current to remove the lesion cleanly with minimal tissue damage.
Detailed post-procedure wound care instructions are provided, with a follow-up arranged to assess healing and confirm complete removal of treated lesions.
