Frequently Asked Questions

What is electrocautery used for?

Electrocautery is a medical procedure used to remove or destroy unwanted skin tissue using controlled heat. It is commonly performed to treat benign skin growths such as skin tags, warts, seborrheic keratosis, cherry angiomas, and other minor skin lesions. The treatment is safe, effective, and provides precise results with minimal downtime.

How long does it take to heal after electrocautery?

Healing time after electrocautery depends on the size and location of the treated area. In most cases, the skin heals within 7 to 14 days. During this period, it is important to follow post-treatment care instructions, such as keeping the area clean, avoiding picking at scabs, and protecting the skin from sun exposure to ensure smooth healing and prevent pigmentation.

What are the side effects of electrocautery?

Electrocautery is generally a safe procedure when performed by trained professionals. However, mild side effects may occur, including redness, slight swelling, tenderness, or temporary scabbing at the treated site. These effects typically resolve within a few days. Rarely, minor pigment changes or scarring may occur, which can be minimized by following proper aftercare.

Is electrocautery painful?

In many cases, one session is sufficient to remove small or isolated skin lesions. However, multiple sessions may be required for larger or multiple areas. Your provider will determine the appropriate treatment plan during your consultation.
