We treat more than skin, we care for your confidence
Electrocautery is a widely trusted and highly effective dermatological procedure that uses controlled heat from a high-frequency electric current to remove or destroy unwanted or abnormal skin tissues. It is considered one of the safest methods for treating common skin concerns such as warts, moles, skin tags, cherry angiomas, seborrheic keratoses, and other benign growths. The treatment works by precisely targeting the affected area with a fine probe, ensuring minimal damage to the surrounding skin. This makes it an excellent choice for patients seeking quick, safe, and minimally invasive solutions to restore the natural appearance of their skin.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is electrocautery treatment?
    Electrocautery is a quick, effective skin treatment where controlled heat removes unwanted growths like warts, moles, or skin tags. At Soma Hair and Skin Clinic Bangalore, the procedure is safe, precise, and handled by specialists. It’s a common choice for people who want smoother skin without major downtime. The treatment also helps improve appearance and comfort.
    Is electrocautery treatment painful?
    Most patients feel little to no pain. Before starting, our dermatologist applies a numbing cream or local anesthesia, so you remain comfortable. You may only feel mild warmth or tingling during the process. At Soma Hair and Skin Clinic, Bangalore, we ensure maximum comfort, making the procedure almost painless and easy for anyone worried about pain or discomfort.
    How long does the procedure take?
    The duration depends on how many skin lesions you have. A single small wart or mole may take only 10–15 minutes. Treating multiple growths could take up to 45 minutes. Our dermatologists keep the process smooth and efficient, so you can walk out the same day and quickly return to your daily routine.
    What skin conditions can be treated with electrocautery?
    Electrocautery can treat warts, moles, skin tags, cherry angiomas, keratoses, and small skin growths that affect appearance or comfort. At Soma Hair and Skin Clinic Bangalore, we also use it for cosmetic skin concerns. This versatile procedure helps patients clear stubborn or unwanted lesions easily, restoring smooth, even-toned skin while avoiding invasive surgery. It’s a reliable treatment for multiple skin issues.
    Is there any downtime after the procedure?
    Electrocautery requires minimal downtime. Most people can return to their normal routine immediately after treatment. You might notice mild redness, tiny scabs, or slight swelling for a few days, which heal naturally. We guide you with simple aftercare steps so recovery is smooth, comfortable, and does not interfere with work or daily life.
    Will electrocautery leave scars?
    When performed by experts using advanced machines, scarring is minimal or even absent. Tiny scabs may form but usually fall off within 5–10 days, leaving smoother skin behind. At Soma Hair and Skin Clinic Bangalore, we use precise techniques that focus on cosmetic safety, ensuring excellent results. Proper aftercare and sun protection further reduce any chance of visible scarring post-procedure.
    How should I care for my skin after electrocautery?
    After electrocautery, keep the treated area clean and dry. Apply any prescribed ointment as directed, avoid scratching, and don’t peel scabs. Protect the skin from direct sunlight by using sunscreen. At Soma Hair and Skin Clinic Bangalore, we provide personalized aftercare instructions to ensure faster healing and the best cosmetic results, helping you enjoy healthy, smooth skin post-treatment.
    Is electrocautery safe for all skin types?

At Soma Hair and Skin Clinic Bangalore, our doctors first evaluate your skin and suggest the safest approach for your condition. The technology is designed to be precise and controlled, ensuring minimal damage to surrounding skin, which makes it a reliable choice for a wide range of patients.
    Can warts or skin tags return after treatment?
    Electrocautery effectively removes existing growths, but new ones may appear later due to viral infections, friction, or genetics. At Soma Hair and Skin Clinic Bangalore, we ensure complete removal during treatment, reducing recurrence chances. If new lesions develop, they can be easily treated again. Following dermatologist advice and maintaining skin hygiene helps in preventing frequent regrowth of these skin issues.
