What is Electrosurgery?

Electrosurgery is a highly precise technique used by dermatologists to treat a variety of minor, surface-level skin conditions. It utilizes a controlled, low-voltage electrical current to safely remove unwanted benign growths like skin tags, stubborn warts, and small vascular lesions such as cherry angiomas.
At Kigali Dermatology Center, our medical team also uses this tool to stop minor bleeding during other dermatological procedures. This ensures a clean, safe treatment area and promotes optimal healing with excellent cosmetic results.

How does Electrosurgery work?

Before the procedure begins, a local anesthetic is applied to thoroughly numb the targeted area, ensuring you remain completely comfortable and feel no pain. The dermatologist then uses a specialized medical device with a fine, precise tip to deliver the mild electrical current directly to the tissue.

This energy quickly and accurately cuts away the unwanted growth or gently seals off tiny blood vessels. The entire process is usually very fast. Afterward, a small scab will form over the treated spot, which will heal naturally and fall off over the next few days.
