Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA) is an advanced technology that is used for treatment of soft tissue conditions from skin to deeper tissue that remove skin growths and other skin lesions. The radio frequency probe is sued to remove the affected area by giving a local anesthetic. At the time of treatment, the area to be treated is cauterized as the lesion is being removed that helps in keeping it free from bleeding. Thereafter, it is ready to be prepped with topical antibiotic ointment and a band-aid.
What’s the benefit of using radio waves instead of laser or electro-surgery?
RFA is an extremely precise way to perform surgery, creating much less trauma to surrounding tissues than other technologies. We use the latest technology to ensure safe and effective treatment of following skin conditions.
- Moles
- Warts
- Skin Tags
- Molluscum contagiosum
- Milia
- Comedones
- Xanthelasma
- Seborrhoeic keratosis
- Angiokeratomas
- Skin Growths
Warts
Warts are caused by HPV (Human Papilloma Virus). These include Common Warts, Palmar or Plantar Warts, Flat Warts, Cystic Warts, Genital Warts and many other types. HPV is spread by direct or indirect contact. Autoinoculation may also occur, causing local spread of lesions. Multiple modalities are available for the treatment of warts, but most are not uniformly effective.These include topical agents such as salicylic acid, canthardin, trichloroacetic acid, podophyllin etc. Cryotherapy (freezing with liquid nitrogen), lasers or prescription systemic and topical medications, which have also shown minimal effectiveness.
Warts are benign growths of skin that is caused by infection with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). Warts do not disappear without treatment. They have hard surface and can spread by direct or indirect contact. Autoinoculation may also cause local spread of the warts. Warts are of various types:
- Plantar warts
- Common warts
- Flat warts
- Genital warts
- Other warts
At La Skinnovita, Dr. Anuj Pall has had very good results using the RFA method for treatment and permanent removal of many types of warts.
Skin tags
Skin tags are soft lesions that are harmless and appear to hang off from the skin. They can develop both in men and women. They can be of the color of the skin or may be darker and the size varies from 1mm to 5cm. They usually occur in people who are obese or are suffering from diabetes. Skin tags can be removed for cosmetic reasons and are removed using Cryotherapy, RFA and laser. These are all safe methods to get rid of skin tags without any pain.
DPNs
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (also known as DPN) is characterized by small brown or black spots that are on the skin around the cheekbones and eyes. The dark spots may also be found on other areas of the face, neck, chest, and back. Some people with dermatosis papulosa nigra have a few, isolated spots while others have hundreds of spots. The spots may be flat or hang off the skin like a skin tag.
The spots are neither cancerous nor medically concerning, but they may be itchy, irritating, or cosmetically undesired. They are often referred to as ‘moles’ but they are not true moles by definition.
Comedones/Molluscum/Milia/Others
The lesion is first prepped with isopropyl alcohol, injected with a small amount of local anesthesia, and then painlessly removed using a radio frequency probe. In case of multiple lesions, topical anesthetic cream is applied before the procedure. During the procedure, the treated area is cauterized as the lesion is being removed. This means that the treated area is free of bleeding and therefore ready to be prepped with topical antibiotic ointment and a band-aid immediately afterwards.
After the procedure, patients are asked to keep the treated area clean and free of contaminants until the wound has scabbed over. This post-procedure maintenance is done by simply cleaning the wound with mild soap and water, applying the triple antibiotic ointment (supplied by us), and a band-aid 1-2 times a day for 2 to 4 days. Typically patients see new skin after a week which is usually pink in color. The new skin then gradually starts to match the surrounding skin in days to weeks.
Mole Removal
Mole is a benign lesion on the skin made up of cells that produce color (pigment). A mole can be present at birth or it can also appear at later stages. It can be flat or protruding from the skin oval or round in shape or sometimes can be irregular in shape. Their size may vary from few millimetres to some centimetres and can have color of pink, black, brown or same as the color of the flesh. They are harmless and do not cause any type of pain or symptom.
Moles usually do not require any type of treatment. But there are times when people need to get rid of them for cosmetic reasons or some might experience discomfort while they rub against their clothes. Protecting the skin against sun can minimize the number of moles. You must get your skin examined regularly if you have moles.
