Don’t let skin tags, moles, or warts distract from your natural beauty. At Clinic 7 Aesthetics in Kochi, we utilize advanced Radio Cautery technology to provide a quick, bloodless, and highly precise solution for removing unwanted skin growths with minimal scarring and rapid healing.

The focus is on the advanced technology, the soothing thermal glow of the device tip, and the sterile, comfortable environment.

The Power of Radio Frequency Precision

How Radio Cautery Works

Radio Cautery uses high-frequency radio waves to create a thermal effect that precisely "shaves" or vaporizes unwanted tissue. Unlike traditional surgical methods that use scalpels, this technology allows for simultaneous cutting and coagulation. This means the procedure is virtually bloodless, as the radio waves seal the blood vessels instantly as they work.

Targeted and Safe

Our expert dermatologists use various specialized electrode tips to match the size and shape of the growth being treated. Whether it’s a tiny skin tag on the neck or a larger wart on the hand, the treatment is so precise that the surrounding healthy skin remains untouched, ensuring the fastest possible recovery time.

Flawless Healing and Results

Minimal Scarring, Maximum Comfort

Because the thermal damage is so localized, the healing process after Radio Cautery is significantly smoother than traditional cautery. Once the initial crust falls off, the skin underneath is usually pink and fresh, eventually fading to match your natural skin tone. It is the preferred method for facial growths where aesthetic outcomes are the top priority.

A Quick "Walk-in" Procedure

Most Radio Cautery sessions at Clinic 7 Kochi take less than 15 to 30 minutes. The area is numbed with a local anesthetic or a numbing cream, making the process entirely painless. You can walk into our clinic with an annoying skin growth and walk out without it, resuming your daily activities immediately.

FAQs

What can Radio Cautery treat?

It is highly effective for removing skin tags, moles, warts, DPNs (Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra), milia, and seborrheic keratosis.

Is the procedure painful?

No. We apply a local anesthetic or a potent numbing cream to the target area. Most patients report feeling absolutely nothing during the removal process.

Will the growth grow back?

Once a growth like a skin tag or mole is completely removed with Radio Cautery, it typically does not grow back in that exact spot. However, new growths may appear elsewhere due to genetics or skin friction.

How long does the healing take?

A small scab will form over the treated area, which usually falls off naturally within 5 to 7 days. It is crucial not to pick at the scab to ensure there is no scarring.

Can I use makeup or skincare after the treatment?

We recommend keeping the area clean and applying the prescribed antibiotic ointment for 3 to 5 days. You should avoid makeup and harsh chemicals on the treated spot until the scab has completely healed and fallen off.
