Electrocautery Treatment in Bangalore

About the Procedure

Electrocautery is a medical procedure that uses a high-frequency electric current to remove or destroy unwanted tissue. This technique is widely used in dermatology and minor surgical treatments to control bleeding and remove abnormal growths like warts, moles, skin tags, and other skin lesions. It involves the use of a metal probe or needle heated by an electric current.

Why It’s Done

Electrocautery is primarily done for:

• Removing benign skin growths
• Stopping bleeding during surgical procedures
• Destroying abnormal tissue that might be cancerous or pre-cancerous
• Aiding in biopsy by shaping and removing lesions
• Removing virals warts

How It’s Done

The area is first cleaned and a local anesthetic may be applied. A special electrocautery device is then used to apply controlled heat to the targeted tissue. The heat either cuts through the tissue or coagulates it, depending on the goal. The entire procedure is quick and minimally invasive, often completed in a clinic setting.
