Electrocautery is a safe and effective minor surgical procedure used to remove unwanted skin growths or lesions by applying controlled heat through a specialized device. The heat generated by an electric current helps destroy abnormal or damaged tissue while minimizing bleeding during the procedure.
It is commonly used to treat warts, skin tags, moles, benign tumors, and other superficial skin lesions. The procedure is quick, usually performed under local anesthesia, and requires minimal recovery time.
At BMH, electrocautery is performed by trained dermatologists with precision and care, ensuring minimal discomfort and excellent cosmetic outcomes for patients.
