Radio Frequency Surgery utilizes high frequency wave to get rid of unwanted skin moles. Therefore, it would not cause any burning making rapid healing of the wound possible.

Mole removal procedure with Radio Frequency Surgery:

1. Mole is cleaned and moistened with some saline solution before the surgery begins.

2. Small amount of local anesthetic is injected below the mole to numb the area as to minimize any discomfort during the operation.

3. A radio surgical device with a tungsten loop is used to raise the lesion and also to help lift it off. The area will be kept moist by swabbing with saline solution.

4. Then a biopsy will be taken and sent to the lab to determine that it is benign.

5. The energy level of the tungsten device will be adjusted so that there’s not excessive sparking and/or drag as the device goes through the tissues. The skin is then planed down slowly. There will be very little bleeding because in radio frequency therapy, the wound is actually cauterized as it’s cut.

6. After the lesion has been removed, those small bleeding areas will be cauterized as well. This involves very little pressure to the skin.

7. ‘Opsite’ spray dressing is then applied to waterproof the wound followed by small dressing to protect it.

8. After the mole removal procedure, the patient needs to keep the wound clean and dry. Scab that formed will drop off in a couple of weeks to reveal a layer of fresh skin.

9. If there is any bleeding after the operation, just apply small pressure over the wound for about 10 minutes before putting on another dressing.

10. If the wound becomes inflamed, red and pussy, it indicates infection. The patient needs to get back to the physician and get some antibiotic. The risk of infection is very low in this treatment as active electrode is used to remove the lesion
