Electrofulguration is a minimally invasive medical procedure that uses a controlled high-frequency electrical current to remove or destroy unwanted skin lesions and abnormal tissue. It is commonly used in dermatology to treat skin tags, warts, benign moles, seborrheic keratoses, cherry angiomas, and certain superficial skin growths with precision while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin.

Who is a Good Candidate?

Electrofulguration is suitable for individuals with benign skin lesions that cause cosmetic concerns or physical discomfort. A thorough consultation with a qualified dermatologist is necessary to confirm the diagnosis and determine whether electrofulguration is the most appropriate treatment option.

Procedure

The treatment begins with an assessment of the lesion. After cleaning the treatment area, a local anesthetic may be applied if needed. A specialized electrosurgical device delivers a controlled electrical current to destroy the targeted tissue while preserving the surrounding healthy skin. The procedure usually takes only a few minutes depending on the number and size of the lesions.

Recovery

Most patients can return to their normal routine immediately after treatment. Mild redness, swelling, or a small crust may develop and typically resolves within one to two weeks. Following proper aftercare instructions helps promote optimal healing and reduces the risk of scarring.
