Benefits of Mole Removal using RFA Laser
Precision in Tissue Removal
RFA allows for selective targeting of the mole without affecting the surrounding healthy skin, resulting in a lower risk of scarring
Minimal Discomfort and Rapid Recovery
Performed under local anaesthesia, the procedure causes minimal pain and a short recovery period
Lower Risk of Post-Procedure Complications
RFA reduces the risk of bleeding, infection, and other complications associated with traditional surgical methods
What is RFA Laser Mole Removal?
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a medical procedure that utilises high-frequency electrical currents to remove benign skin lesions, such as moles and keloids. The RFA device delivers targeted energy that heats the tissue to a specific temperature, causing cellular destruction and removal of the mole. This technique provides precise control over the depth and area of tissue removal, minimising damage to adjacent skin structures.
Medical Considerations and Procedure Details
- Pre-Procedure Assessment: A thorough medical evaluation, including dermoscopic examination and, if necessary, a biopsy, will be conducted to confirm that the lesion is benign and suitable for RFA treatment.
- Procedure Protocol: After administering local anaesthesia, the RFA probe is applied to the lesion. The device emits controlled radiofrequency waves that heat and ablate the tissue, removing the mole in layers. The depth and extent of ablation are carefully monitored throughout the procedure.
- Post-Procedure Care: Patients are advised to keep the area clean and dry, apply antibiotic ointment as prescribed, and avoid sun exposure to prevent hyperpigmentation. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to monitor healing and ensure no recurrence.
Contraindications and Safety Considerations
- RFA is not recommended for malignant lesions, suspicious moles, or in patients with pacemakers or implantable defibrillators due to potential interference with the device.
- A full medical history will be reviewed to assess any other contraindications, such as active skin infections or certain skin conditions.
Why Choose RFA Laser for Mole Removal?
RFA laser is an excellent choice for those seeking a minimally invasive, precise, and safe method for mole removal. With reduced recovery time, minimal discomfort, and lower risks of complications, RFA is a preferred option for many patients.
