Radiosurgical removal of benign skin lesions

Radiocauterization of skin lesions – benign skin tumors – is a minimally invasive procedure used for the removal of benign skin growths using radiofrequency energy.

The method allows precise and controlled removal of skin lesions with minimal impact on surrounding healthy tissues and simultaneous coagulation of small blood vessels. The procedure improves the appearance of the skin and provides a favorable aesthetic outcome with a short recovery period.

Indications

• benign skin lesions evaluated by a dermatologist;
• lesions that change over time or increase in size;
• lesions frequently traumatized by friction or mechanical irritation;
• local discomfort caused by the presence of the lesion;
• removal of lesions for aesthetic reasons;
• recommendation of a dermatologist.

Procedure / Duration

The procedure is performed by a dermatologist on an outpatient basis.

After evaluation of the lesion and preparation of the treatment area, the physician uses a special radiofrequency electrode for controlled removal of the lesion and simultaneous tissue coagulation.

Depending on the size and number of lesions, the procedure takes approximately 10–30 minutes.

Contraindications

The procedure is not recommended in the following situations:

• suspicion of a malignant lesion without prior dermatological evaluation;
• active infections or inflammatory conditions in the treatment area;
• severe blood clotting disorders;
• medical conditions that contraindicate minimally invasive dermatological procedures.

Recovery / Restrictions

Healing usually occurs within 7–14 days, depending on the size and location of the lesion.

Patients are advised to maintain hygiene of the treated area, avoid traumatizing the formed crust, and protect the skin from direct sun exposure until complete healing.

Benefits

• precise and controlled removal of skin lesions;
• minimal impact on surrounding healthy tissues;
• simultaneous coagulation and reduced risk of bleeding;
• quick and safe procedure;
• short recovery period;
• favorable aesthetic result.
