Electrocautery

Skin tags and small lesions, removed in one visit.

Electrocautery

Overview

A fine probe delivers a precisely controlled current that removes the lesion and seals the tissue at the same moment, so there is very little bleeding. Skin tags, small benign growths and blocked oil glands are all treated this way, under local anaesthetic, in a single appointment.

What it does

  • Removed in one visit, under local anaesthetic
  • Very little bleeding and no stitches
  • Several lesions can be treated in the same appointment
  • Assessed by a doctor before anything is removed

Best for

Skin tags, seborrhoeic keratoses, milia, blocked sebaceous glands and small benign growths.

After your appointment

  • A small scab forms and falls off within 7–10 days
  • Keep the area dry for 48 hours
  • SPF 50 on the site for 3 months to avoid a dark mark
