Electric current thermally affects the tissue around the area being removed. While the mole is removed, the skin does not bleed at all, so infection is excluded. Removal of moles with an electrocoagulator takes a little time, on average, up to 20 minutes. In general, the time depends on the size of the deleted area. If the patient has a high pain threshold, anesthesia (local) is often used.
After removal, the dermal area is covered with a dry crust, it goes off after 5 or a week. Under the crust is a gentle light skin of pink color, it acquires a natural natural color after 2 days, and then it will be difficult to distinguish this zone from other parts of the skin of a person. The undoubted advantage of removing moles and neoplasms as a whole with the help of electrocoagulation is that even if several neoplasms are to be removed, it will only be necessary to come to the doctor once.
After the procedure is carried out, a person will have to observe measures of antiseptic skin care at home for about a week. During this time, do not touch the healing wound and wet it. The specialist, however, will certainly give the necessary instructions after the procedure is completed.
Electrocoagulation: contraindications and indications for conduction.
Indications for the procedure may be neoplasms that appeared on the skin of the face, body. These are birthmarks that interfere with soft fibroids, nevi, dermatofibromas, calluses, age keratomas, hemangiomas, molluscum contagiosum, warts and others.
When viral papillomas are removed, antiviral therapy is performed.
It should be noted that not every new formation is subject to removal. After all, a cancerous tumor may even appear, at first glance, a harmless little mole. Before removing the tumor, the specialist will necessarily perform a procedure called a biopsy, in which the cells of this tumor are taken and sent to a laboratory examination (histological examination), where they are examined for the presence of cells, an atypical species.
Electrocoagulation specialist will not perform if the patient suffers from a chronic disease, if there is a period of exacerbation, if there are infectious or viral diseases, and if the patient is feverish.
Pregnant women also should not resort to the removal of tumors before the birth of the baby. Do not contact a dermatologist when there is a deterioration in overall health, for example, during colds or critical days when there is an increased pain sensitivity.
Electrocoagulation: what you need to know?
Today, a lot of beauty salons offer such a procedure for removing "unnecessary" tumors, including moles, with the help of an electrocoagulator. But patients should remember that even if experienced and certified specialists conduct the procedure in the salons, it is necessary to consult with the doctors - oncodermatologist and dermatocosmetologist, who, most likely, are not in the state of beauty salons. It is necessary to remember that, like, ordinary papilloma or mole, can be "bells" of a developing cancerous tumor.

If patients suffer from such diseases as hypertension, diabetes, epilepsy, but nevertheless they want to remove the tumor from the skin, then these people need special attention and care. That's why it's better to go to a specialized medical institution and not risk your own health, turning to ordinary beauty salons.
