About Wart & Skin Tag Removal
Do you have small skin tags or raised skin lesions on the neck, underarms, or trunk that catch on clothing or cause cosmetic discomfort？
At Sakura Medical & Dental Clinic, our dermatology department provides removal treatment for benign skin lesions, such as warts and skin tags, using a method called electrocautery.
All consultations and procedures are performed by a dermatologist, who carefully evaluates your symptoms and skin condition before recommending the most appropriate treatment.
About Electrocautery Treatment
At our clinic, electrocautery is used to remove warts (verrucae), skin tags, and other small benign skin lesions.
Electrocautery is a treatment method that uses heat generated by a high-frequency electrical current to cauterize and coagulate the lesion while removing it.
The procedure is typically quick and allows for effective bleeding control, making it a widely used technique in dermatology.
We use medical-grade electrocautery devices, and the output is carefully adjusted according to the size, location, and condition of the lesion to ensure safe and precise treatment.
Conditions Suitable for Electrocautery
Electrocautery may be appropriate for the following conditions:
- Skin tags (commonly found on the neck, underarms, or trunk)
- Warts deemed suitable for treatment by a physician
- Small benign skin lesions
Not all skin lesions are suitable for electrocautery.
A dermatologist will determine whether this treatment is appropriate after examination.
Features of Electrocautery Treatment
- Short procedure time
In many cases, the procedure itself takes only a few minutes. - Minimal bleeding
Bleeding is controlled during cauterization, resulting in less bleeding compared to surgical excision. - Targeted treatment with minimal impact on surrounding skin
The treatment focuses on the lesion itself, helping to minimize effects on healthy surrounding skin. - Relatively short downtime
Temporary redness or scab formation may occur, but the impact on daily activities is usually mild.
Pain Management & Anesthesia
Local anesthesia may be used depending on the size and location of the lesion.
For very small lesions, treatment may be performed without anesthesia.
We take patient comfort into consideration during treatment, so please feel free to discuss any concerns regarding pain or anesthesia in advance.
Aftercare & Recovery
- Temporary redness or scab formation may occur at the treated area
- In most cases, healing occurs naturally within several days to one week
- Detailed aftercare instructions and lifestyle precautions will be explained by your doctor after treatment
