Youthful skin is smooth, firm, evenly coloured with no growth. However, skin is the first area to show signs of aging. Unwanted growth on the skin not only looks unsightly but makes us look unattractive. This can be treated by Radio wave Technology that uses energy to make cosmetic enhancing incisions. Healing is rapid, virtually bloodless and with little or no bruising or swelling.
Radio wave technology treats – Many types of skin lesions like
- Age spots
- Moles and raised lesions
- Skin tags
- Warts (verruca)
- Sun damaged skin
About radio wave technology – It is the passage of ultra-high frequency radio waves into skin for the purpose of eliminating lesions with minimal discomfort and rapid healing.
Radio wave technology vis-à-vis traditional surgery – With radio waves there is no need of cutting or laser; thus there is less bleeding because of cutting and is more comfortable than lasers.
ADVANTAGES OF RADIOSURGERY
- Virtually no risk of scarring, removal occurs at a very superficial level
- Better and faster healing
- Minimal damage to surrounding skin
- Minimal, if any, pain
- Less swelling and oedema, if any
- No bleeding
How the treatment area heals – Immediately after excision there is simply a raw non-bleeding surface not bigger than the original surface area of the lesion. This forms a scab and after 7-10 days later, there is a fresh healthy layer of skin which overtime blends into normal skin colour.
AREAS THAT CAN BE TREATED ARE
- Face – This technique is particularly useful for facial growth and spots as there is no scarring and the healing period is short.
- Armpits/ breasts/ neck – These are common sites of fleshy growths called skin tags that can be removed by this technique.
- Hands – Removal of brown spots, solar Keratoses, other growths
Number of sessions required – A single session is usually required. This should be followed up after 7 days.
Benefits of the treatment – It is safe and proven with minimal downtime.
