Facial Electrocautery
What is facial electrocautery?
Facial electrocautery is a medical-aesthetic procedure that uses high-frequency electrical current to remove or reduce various skin imperfections, such as warts, moles, keratosis, angiomas, and other benign lesions.
This treatment is performed using a specialized device that, upon contact with the skin, heats and removes unwanted tissue in a controlled and precise manner. Facial electrocautery is known for its effectiveness and precision, allowing the removal of lesions with minimal damage to surrounding tissues and promoting rapid healing.
This procedure is safe, generally well tolerated, and provides visible results almost immediately, improving both the appearance and health of the skin.
