Description of the study
Electrocoagulation (electrosurgery) is a safe procedure that destroys skin lesions using high-frequency alternating current. The heat generated truncates the proteins (coagulation) found in the tissue.
The electrocoagulation procedure is performed using electrodes of different shapes, appropriately selected depending on the type of lesion. The procedure is not very painful. Local anesthesia is often used during the procedure. After the procedure, swelling, erythema, bruising and discomfort may occur. However, these discomforts subside relatively quickly. The scabs that appear after the procedure usually heal after a few days. The length of the procedure depends on the extent of the lesions - it takes from several to several dozen minutes.
