Cauterization of
moles and warts

Cauterization of moles and warts is a procedure in which controlled heat is used to destroy and eliminate these unwanted skin lesions. Heat is applied in a precise and minimally invasive way to eliminate abnormal cells and achieve their disappearance.

During the procedure, local anesthesia is applied to ensure patient comfort. Next, a specialized instrument is used to apply controlled heat to the target area, destroying the cells of the mole or wart. Cauterization is performed precisely to minimize the risk of noticeable scarring.

Cauterization of moles and warts is usually performed under local anesthesia, which helps minimize pain or discomfort during the procedure. Some patients may experience slight discomfort or a sensation of heat during the process, but it is usually well tolerated.

Recovery time may vary depending on the size and location of the injuries treated. Typically, a relatively short recovery time can be expected. Following the procedure, specific skin care instructions will be provided and measures will be recommended to assist in healing and infection prevention.

Cauterization of moles and warts is generally safe, but as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks. Some possible side effects include redness, swelling, tenderness, or crusting in the treated area. These effects are temporary and usually disappear in a short time.

At Centrosthetic, our specialists are trained to perform cauterization precisely and minimize the chances of leaving noticeable scars. However, in some cases, scarring or changes in skin pigmentation may occur. Recommendations and aftercare will be provided to help minimize these risks.

The number of sessions required may vary depending on the type, size and location of the injury. In some cases, a single session may be sufficient, while in other cases more than one session may be required to obtain the desired results. Our specialists will evaluate your case and provide you with a personalized recommendation.
