Electrocoagulation

Electrocoagulation is a procedure for removing tumors on the skin of the face and body using a laser. The essence of the procedure is the thermal effect on the skin of short-term bursts of weak current, due to which the neoplasm is “evaporated” from the skin.

Benefits of the procedure

• Effective – tumors are completely removed. the risk of relapse is excluded.
• Without scars – the laser effect is aimed only at the tumor and does not injure healthy tissue. After the procedure there are no scars left on the skin.
• Quick and comfortable – the procedure takes 5-15 minutes.
• Absolutely safe – there is no risk of contamination/infection, since the laser beam is sterile. The procedure takes place without contact with the skin, and the site of treatment does not bleed afterward.

Preparation for the procedure

If you discover new growths on the skin, consult a Mediaesthetician. Our cosmetologists and dermatovenerologists will conduct a diagnosis and select the most suitable treatment plan for you. Often, in the absence of contraindications to the procedure, most skin tumors are removed on the day of treatment.

Progress of the procedure

For patient comfort, electrocoagulation is performed under local anesthesia. The entire procedure takes 5-10 minutes, depending on the location and size of the growth. The tumor is removed in stages; after the procedure, the doctor gives the patient advice on how to care for it. 

Rehabilitation

After removal of the tumor, no rehabilitation is required. However, the laser-treated area requires care. After the procedure, a crust should form at the site of the tumor, which cannot be removed. It is necessary to wait until it dries and goes away on its own, so for the rehabilitation period (5-7 days) doctors recommend avoiding visiting baths and saunas.

Please note that such neoplasms as warts and atheromas are recurrent, i.e. After some time, regardless of the method of removal, they may appear on the body again. To remove them forever, you need to find out and eliminate the root cause of their occurrence.
