Removal of papillomas by electrocoagulation
Electrocoagulation of papillomas is a method of removing neoplasms using an electric current of a certain frequency and strength. The procedure is carried out in cosmetic offices and medical clinics. Electrocoagulation allows you to quickly and efficiently remove papillomas, minimizing the risk of their transformation into malignant neoplasms.
The duration of the procedure depends on the number of papillomas and their size. Neoplasms on the leg are removed the fastest. Growths on a wide base are burned out in layers. Wound care after electrocoagulation is simple. All that is required is to treat the surface of the wound with a disinfectant solution several times a day.
Electrocoagulation of blood vessels on the face
The procedure, which helps to get rid of dilated capillaries, is carried out using a device that generates a low-frequency electric current. As a rule, electrocoagulation of blood vessels is performed at once. If necessary, a repeat session can be scheduled after 10 days.
Stages of electrocoagulation of blood vessels on the face:
- the skin area is treated with a disinfectant solution, and then with lidocaine;
- the doctor affects the blood vessels by "cauterizing" them with a needle guide;
- after the procedure, the skin is wiped with a disinfectant solution, and then with a corticosteroid gel (to prevent complications).

The procedure is prescribed on the 4-5th day after the end of the menstrual cycle.
The rehabilitation period after electrocoagulation is on average 7-10 days. At this time, a woman is prohibited from going to the bathhouse or swimming pool, sexual life and physical activity. The norm is clear discharge with a small amount of blood.
Laser, electrocoagulation or cryotherapy - which is better
Laser and electrocoagulation are the methods most often used to remove benign neoplasms, papillomas and birthmarks. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages of laser therapy:
- minimum injury to adjacent areas of the skin;
- maximum accuracy of action.
Disadvantages of the laser include the high price of the procedure and the impossibility of performing it on dark skin.
Electrocoagulation has many advantages, including the possibility of histological examination of the removed neoplasm, absence of bleeding and "burning" of the growth in one session. By the way, the price of the electrocoagulation device is available for use in medical centers and cosmetic offices. The price depends on the model. The decision about which is better - electrocoagulation or laser, is made by a specialist depending on the situation.
Care after the procedure
The healing period after electrocoagulation is two to three weeks. In the first 7 days, it is recommended to treat the edges of the wound with an antiseptic. At the place of direct contact with the conductor, a crust forms, which cannot be torn off, because it can provoke skin pigmentation. The doctor will provide more specific recommendations.
