Electrocautery is a safe and effective dermatological procedure that uses a fine, heated electrode to remove or destroy unwanted skin lesions through controlled heat. It is commonly used to treat skin tags, warts, seborrheic keratoses, cherry angiomas, dermatosis papulosa nigra (DPN), small benign moles (when appropriate), and other superficial skin growths. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia when needed, ensuring minimal discomfort. It offers precise treatment with minimal bleeding, quick healing, and excellent cosmetic results.
