Radio wave surgery - removal of moles, warts and growths on the skin

Radio wave surgery is the optimal method for removing growths on the skin. If you are looking for an effective way to remove moles, warts, keratoses or any other benign growths on the skin, then the modern dermatosurgical technique with radio waves is recommended by a specialist doctor.

Radiowave surgery is an extremely sophisticated, modern dermatosurgical technique for the removal of benign changes on the skin, which is why it is recommended by dermatology specialists at the “Diva” polyclinic.

This method is one of the most sought-after because it gives EXCELLENT results, lasts a short time, is safe, comfortable (because a local anesthetic is applied in the form of a cream) and leaves the skin usually WITHOUT scars (depending on the skin type and the age of the patient, small marks may remain on the skin, but it can be repaired with a laser)!

Radio waves have a high frequency of 3.8 MHz, which minimally traumatizes the tissue, so they can successfully replace the scalpel in all surgical branches.

The radio-wave technique is most widely used in plastic surgery and dermatosurgery, because it is precisely in these branches of medicine that it is most important to obtain the finest and almost imperceptible scar.

What can be removed with radio wave surgery?

Moles – usually benign growths, but they should be monitored regularly because if they show changes, their preventive removal is necessary.
Viral warts are skin changes caused by different strains of the HPV virus.
Papillomas – hanging warts of viral origin.
Fibromas – frequent growths on the skin of benign origin. They can be of different sizes and are usually on a stalk.
Keratoses – are formed from seborrheic keratin deposits.
Angiomas – often called red moles are benign changes of vascular origin.
Sebaceous cysts (atheroma) are cysts that are the result of blockage of the sebaceous glands’ outlet channels.
Syringomas – small watery cysts that occur as a result of blockage of sweat glands and most often appear in the region of the eyelids.
Xenthelasma – yellowish deposits that appear on the eyelids.
Condylomas – genital warts caused by HPV viruses.
Granulomas – changes that appear after a skin injury and tend to grow rapidly and tend to bleed.
Dermatofibromas – growths on the skin that most often appear on the hands and feet.

Why is radiosurgery an excellent choice for removing moles, warts and skin growths?

The radio wave method is:

comfortable (during the procedure a local anesthetic in the form of a cream is used),
it takes a short time, ONLY 20 to 30 seconds per change,
safe and
so sophisticated that patients do not feel that they are undergoing surgical intervention,

which is important for stress reduction and the patient’s sense of comfort.

And in addition, the advantages of radio waves are minimal trauma to the surrounding tissue, which is crucial for:

easier,
better and
faster wound healing,
and the result is almost imperceptible scars (whether they will be noticeable depends on several factors such as genetics and the tendency of the skin to create them, as well as the age of the patient).

Radio waves have a high frequency of 3.8 MHz, which minimally traumatizes the surrounding tissue, resulting in a sophisticated precise cut, so that they can successfully replace the scalpel in almost all surgical branches! This technique is widely used in plastic surgery and dermatosurgery, because it is precisely in these branches of medicine that the maximum precision of the cut is important in order to obtain the finest and almost imperceptible scar.

All changes, except for viral warts, which were removed from the skin at the “Diva” polyclinic, MUST be sent for a histopathological examination, so that we carry out a triple control of the diagnosis:

clinical examination by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon,
dermoscopic examination and
histopathological examination by a pathologist with the aim of maximum patient safety.

Advice from a specialist doctor regarding skin growths:

It is very important to make a timely diagnosis and carry out treatment. That is why it is necessary to regularly control all moles and other skin changes!

Examination of growths on the skin before intervention with radio waves - dermoscopy

Given that warts, moles and other growths on the skin can be potential foci of malignant tumors, preoperative diagnosis is extremely important. In addition to the clinical examination, it is sometimes necessary to perform a dermoscopic examination to make the diagnosis precise, which is crucial for excluding malignancy.

Pathohistological examination after radio wave surgery

Pathohistological examination means examination of the change that was removed by the radio wave technique under a microscope by a pathologist.

All changes, except for viral warts, which were removed from the skin at the “Diva” polyclinic, MUST be sent for histopathological examination.

What is radio wave surgery for?

Removal of moles

Moles, naevus, are benign growths on the skin. These changes are a combination of accumulation of pigment cells and connective tissue. The color of moles can be from light to dark brown. Some appear already at birth, in a small percentage. And they can appear throughout life on all skin regions. They can change shape, color and size over time, so they need to be monitored regularly. However, more than 90% of moles do not belong to the risk group and can be treated for aesthetic or practical reasons, so radiowave dermatosurgical technique is optimal for their removal.

Removal of ALL types of warts and keratoses

Warts – verrucae, are skin changes of viral origin. This disease affects about 10% of the entire population. They most often appear on the hands, face, neck, under the armpits, and can also be on the back or stomach. Given that they are of viral origin, they spread from one part to another, say from the neck to the face or in the armpit region, and they can also be transmitted to people in the environment, so removing warts is recommended to prevent their spread. Several months can pass from incubation to the appearance of warts on the skin.

Types of warts that can be removed by radiosurgery

6 types of warts are most often defined:

ordinary – can appear on all regions of the skin
verrucae plane – affect the face and neck,
ridges – present on the neck and body,
mollusks – they are characteristic for children’s age
mosaic – most often appear on the hands and feet
genital (condyloma) – transmitted sexually.

Removal of keratoses

Keratoses are round or oval plate changes on the skin that can resemble moles in shape and color. The size can be from a few millimeters to a few centimeters. In the case of smaller keratoses, the surface is smooth, and when they grow, they become rough and a greasy keratin plate appears on them – scrum, which is easily removed.

They appear both on the face and on the body and it is recommended to remove them while they are small because they tend to grow rapidly in size.

Keratoses are not dangerous to health and are not contagious, so they are usually removed for aesthetic or practical reasons.

Removal of atheroma, fibroma and xanthelasma

Atheroma – sebaceous cysts, are whitish nodules filled with sebaceous content. They arise as a result of blockage of the sebaceous glands’ excretory ducts. They are often mistakenly called “adipose tissue“. They appear on the face, head, neck, chest and back. Their size varies from 2 to 10 millimeters.

And when the sebaceous cysts are smaller in size, the optimal method for their removal is radio wave surgery, while for larger ones, classic surgical excision is necessary.

Fibromas are benign growths on the skin that show slow growth. They appear as single or multiple growths on the skin. They are located above the surface of the skin, look like growths on a stalk and are often skin-colored. The number of fibroids increases with age, and about half of the world’s population has them. They can be the result of genetics, hormonal imbalance, obesity or chronic irritation. They most often appear on the skin:

lid,
door,
troop,
armpit and
groin.

Xanthelasma appear on the eyelids, more often in the inner part of the eye and are soft to the touch. They represent yellowish-white deposits in the form of tiles, round or oval in shape. It is recommended to remove them while they are smaller because they tend to grow and spread quickly.

The radio wave technique proved to be the optimal method for their removal because there are no recurrences after this technique.

Removal of syringoma, granuloma and dermatofibroma

A syringoma is a benign growth – a hydroadenoma that arises from sweat glands (apocrine). We see them more often in women. They occur in the region around the eyes and therefore the radio wave technique is optimal for their removal due to its precision, efficiency and safety for the region around the eyes.

ONLY 1 visit is required for complete healing. The procedure is comfortable thanks to the use of anesthesia in the form of a cream and does not leave any scars.

Granulomas are benign vascular skin growths. They arise from the swelling of blood vessels in the field of existing trauma to the skin, which can be minimal (insect bite). It is a fast-growing growth of vascular character, highly prone to bleeding.

Radio wave surgery - price

A dermatofibroma is a growth inside the skin of different diameters. Their color varies from light pink to dark brown, depending on the patient’s skin color. They most often appear on the arms, lower legs or lower back.

The exact cause of these growths is not known. Some researchers believe that they arise as a reaction to local trauma, injury or insect bites. They tend to grow slowly, are hard to the touch and manifest as lumps under the skin that react to pressure by indentation, which is characteristic of dermatofibromas. They do not pose a health hazard, are not painful to the touch and are removed solely for aesthetic reasons.

NOTE:

Whether radio waves are an adequate method for removing changes on the skin will be evaluated by a specialist doctor during a free consultation.

The results of the procedure may vary from patient to patient, and this is influenced by factors such as skin type, i.e. whether it is prone to scar tissue formation.
