Radiocautery
Safe • Precise • Scar-Minimized Skin Lesion Removal
At Svastam Clinic, we use Radiocautery — a safe, effective, and minimally invasive procedure — to remove unwanted skin tags, warts, moles, and small benign skin growths with precision and care.
Our expert dermatologist ensures the treatment is quick, painless, and leaves your skin smoother and healthier.
What is Radiocautery?
Radiocautery, also known as Radiofrequency (RF) Surgery, is a modern dermatological procedure that uses high-frequency radio waves to cut, coagulate, or remove soft tissue growths on the skin.
It’s a non-surgical, bloodless, and safe alternative to traditional excision, offering excellent cosmetic results with minimal scarring and downtime.
Conditions Treated with Radiocautery
Radiocautery is an ideal treatment for removing various benign (non-cancerous) skin lesions, including:
- Skin tags.
- Warts (viral warts, plantar warts).
- Moles (benign nevi).
- Seborrheic keratosis (age-related growths).
- Small cysts or bumps.
- Xanthelasma (cholesterol deposits near eyes).
- DPNs (Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra – common in darker skin).
- Cherry angiomas or tiny blood vessel spots.
If you have small skin growths that bother you cosmetically or cause irritation, radiocautery offers a fast and scar-minimized solution.
- Keep the treated area clean and dry for 24 hours.
- Avoid scratching or peeling any scab that forms.
- Apply prescribed healing cream regularly.
- Avoid direct sun exposure for a few days.
- Use sunscreen to protect new skin and prevent pigmentation.
How the Procedure Works
- Consultation & Diagnosis: Our dermatologist examines your skin to confirm the lesion type and suitability for radiocautery.
- Preparation: The treatment area is cleaned and numbed using a local anesthetic cream or injection to ensure a painless experience.
- Procedure: A fine-tipped radiocautery probe delivers controlled radiofrequency energy to precisely remove or vaporize the lesion.
- Post-Procedure Care: A soothing ointment is applied, and aftercare instructions are provided. The area heals within a few days without scarring.
Benefits of Radiocautery
- Painless & Quick — The procedure takes only 10–20 minutes.
- Scar-Minimized Healing — Excellent cosmetic outcome with minimal or no scarring.
- Safe & Bloodless — The heat seals blood vessels instantly, reducing bleeding and infection risk.

Treatment Duration & Recovery
- Duration: 10–30 minutes depending on the number of lesions.

- Downtime: Minimal; mild redness or scab may appear and heal naturally in 5–7 days.
- Results: Smooth, clear skin with improved appearance.
