Until recently there have been only two options for dealing with moles - leave them alone, or have them surgically excised with a resultant scar which is often as obvious as the mole. Often, moles are in areas where excision is difficult or impossible (other than by excision and graft) such as on and around the nose, lips and eyes. INTRODUCING RADIOWAVE TREATMENT
Radiowave technology is the passage of ultra-high frequency radiowaves into the skin via fine electrodes that produce very fine incisions in tissue, coagulating at the same time so there is no, or minimal bleeding. Only the cells immediately adjacent to the electrodes are affected, so there is little or no lateral damage to the adjacent skin, and scarring is minimal.
In contrast to surgical excision, just the mole tissue above skin level is taken off. (Surgical excision requires removal of a small margin of normal skin around the mole in addition to the skin below the mole, down to the subcutaneous level, then suturing, which requires postoperative wound care and results in the inevitable scar).
The fine electrodes used in radiowave surgery remove fine slivers of mole tissue, shaving it down to skin level leaving a smooth surface which forms a superficial scab.
Provided this is left to heal naturally (7 to 10 days) there is rarely any scarring at the treatment site. There may be slight colour difference in the treated skin (in comparison with the surrounding skin) but this will tend to fade and blend in over time.
The method is painless, as the mole is injected with a local anaesthetic prior to removal.Before consideration of mole removal, it is necessary to have the mole assessed by an skilled clinician to make sure that it does not need surgical excision or biopsy to rule out skin cancer.
