Electrocauterization is a minimally invasive medical procedure that uses high-frequency electric current to generate heat, being used for the destruction, sectioning, or removal of skin lesions such as papillomas, keratoses, warts, and fibromas.

The procedure is fast and effective, is performed under local anesthesia, and involves a short recovery time.

An anesthetic is applied, in the form of a cream or injection, in order to prevent pain, after which the doctor uses an electrocautery device that destroys the tissue through heat.

Benefits of the procedure

The procedure has several benefits, such as:

• High precision
• Low risk of bleeding
• Low risk of infection
• In most cases, sutures are not required
• Healing occurs through the formation of a crust

Recovery

Complete healing usually takes place within a few days to two weeks, depending on the size of the lesion.

The dermatologist will recommend a certain topical treatment needed after the procedure.
