How Radiofrequency Lesion Removal Works
Radiofrequency energy gently removes lesions by vaporizing targeted tissue without cutting or suturing. Because the device simultaneously cauterizes the area, the procedure is clean, fast, and suitable for high-visibility areas of the body.
What Happens During the Procedure
The skin is first cleansed and numbed with a small injection of lidocaine. Once the area is numb, a radiofrequency electrode glides across the lesion and removes it in seconds. Patients generally feel only light pressure or warmth. Afterward, the site is treated with antibiotic ointment and a small bandage.
