Cosmetic Radiowave Surgery Mole Removal Introduction

What is a mole?

Many people refer to a mole as any dark spot or irregularity in the skin. Doctors use different terms. But skin marks such as these are not treated the same way moles are and are not discussed here:
                + birthmarks
                + abnormal collections of blood vessels (hemangiomas)
                + keratoses (benign or precancerous spots, which appear after about age 30 years)

What causes moles?

Some people are born with moles. Other moles appear over time.

Sun exposure seems to play a role in the development of moles and may even play a role in the development of atypical, or dysplastic, moles.

The role of heredity cannot be underemphasized. Many families have a type of mole known as dysplastic (atypical), which can be associated with a higher frequency of melanoma or skin cancer.

Cosmetic Radiowave Surgery

Cosmetic radio-surgery is the new procedure on the block. It is an in-office procedure used to remove lumps and bumps on your face and body safely and effectively with very less scarring.

Benefits of cosmetic radio-surgery :

• Tissue removal occurs at a very superficial skin level.
• Minimal damage to surrounding tissues
• Minimal scar tissue formation
• No pain, no stitches, no bleeding, no post-operative swelling, or infection
• Enhanced healing
• Excellent cosmetic results

Skin Outgrowths Removed by Radio-Surgery:

Radio-surgery is primarily used for the permanent removal of following undesired skin outgrowths for a smoother and more youthful look:

Moles: Usually brown and circular. They may be flat or raised and have even or irregular pigmentation. If they have changed recently they should be checked by a doctor to exclude melanoma (skin cancer).

Skin Tags: Fleshy outgrowths usually on a stalk.

Seborrhoeic Keratoses: Look like warts and are usually brown in color. They are soft and often break off if scratched. They are common in people over 35.
Warts: They are due to a viral infection. Common on hands but can occur anywhere.

Verruccas: Warts on the feet.

Removal of Skin Outgrowths by Cosmetic Radio-Surgery:

• Treatment painless.
• To further ensure your total comfort, a small local anesthetic injection is given to the area of treatment.
• The doctor then removes the undesired skin outgrowths.
  
• Only the lesion itself is removed, leaving a flat raw non-bleeding surface which is no bigger than the surface area of the original lesion.
  
• This causes very little damage to the surrounding tissues allowing rapid healing and minimizing the risk of scarring.
• Seven to ten days later, wound heals to leave a flat layer of new skin which gradually blends into the normal skin colour.
