What is Electrocautery? 

Electrocautery uses a high-frequency electrical current to remove warts. The current heats up a fine electrode, which is applied directly to the wart, effectively cauterizing (burning) the tissue and removing the wart. Ideal for removing warts on various parts of the body, including delicate areas like the face, hands, and feet. It is a quick and effective procedure as warst are removed swiftly with minimal discomfort and a high success rate. It also doesn't require stitches and it has a relatively short recovery time. It's a very safe and precise procedure as it targets warts accurately without affecting surrounding skin.

What to Expect with Skinfav's Electrocautery?

Here’s everything you need to know about this effective treatment: 

1. Consultation

Your journey begins with a thorough consultation where our expert will assess your warts, discuss your goals, and tailor a treatment plan specific to your needs. We’ll explain the procedure in detail, answer any questions you might have, and discuss post-treatment care to ensure you’re fully informed and comfortable. 

2. Pre-Treatment Preparation

The area to be treated will be cleansed, and a local anesthetic may be applied to numb the area and minimize any discomfort. 

3. Treatment

Our skilled practitioner will use a high-frequency electrical current to target the wart with precision. The electrode will heat up and cauterize the wart, causing it to dry up and detach from the skin. 

4. Post-Treatment Care

After the procedure, you may experience some redness, swelling, or a slight burning sensation. This is normal and should subside within a few hours to days. As it's healing, the treated area may develop a small scab. It’s crucial to keep the area clean and dry and avoid picking at the scab to ensure proper healing. We may schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor the healing process and address any concerns. Additional treatments may be necessary for larger or multiple warts. 

Aftercare Tips:

• Gently cleanse the area daily and apply any recommended topical treatments.

• Protect the treated area from excessive sun exposure to prevent pigmentation changes.

• Follow any additional aftercare instructions provided by our aesthetician to ensure optimal healing and results.
