Frequently asked question
How Salicylic Peels works for removing warts?
How Radio Frequency Ablation(Electrocautery) works for wart removal?
RF or Radiofrequency Ablation(also referred to as Radio Surgery or Radiowave Surgery) is a highly favored treatment for removing warts and skin tags. It involves the passage of radio waves into the skin to perform the removal or reshaping of a lesion. Radiofrequency uses a low temperature, high-frequency energy radio waves to cauterize warts. RF treatment can cut and coagulate simultaneously without any need for applying pressure. This procedure has gained importance since it is easy to perform. Bleeding is minimal and so is downtime. Radiofrequency is practically free of side effects and complications.
What you can expect from Radio Frequency treatment?
Mild discomfort could be experienced during the treatment, which is contained after applying an anesthetic cream. In certain cases, however, a local anesthetic may be injected with a small needle. RF wart removal will give you a bit of swelling, bruising, and redness in the area where the treatment was carried out. There will also be tenderness for a few days till the area heals. However, thanks to tissue coagulation, it is unlikely that there will be any bleeding during this treatment or anytime after. Healing is quicker too. Dermamedspa's Wart Removal treatment is simple, safe, and effective. However, while you can look forward to getting rid of existing warts, the treatment does not address the underlying causes, and so cannot prevent a recurrence.
Post-treatment care for Radio Frequency treatment?
Although pain and discomfort should be minimal, some individuals may feel the need for pain relief. Do check with your dermatologist before taking any painkillers. Avoid touching the area as far as possible. Avoid exposure to harsh sunlight, and stay away from dusty or sandy environments for at least x days. Since this will be a scab that must eventually fall off, it is advisable to keep the area dry for 2 to 3 days after the surgery.
Which treatment is best for me?
Wart treatment is prescribed based on the type of wart, its position, age, health, and more. For example, Salicylic Peels treatment is given for warts present in feet, hand as it cannot be given in sensitive areas such as face and genitals. So it's highly recommended to book a consultation with our dermatologist to know the best and effective treatment for you.
