ELECTROSURGERY

At Astounding Skin Aesthetics, we offer a range of Electosurgical procedures to help you achieve your desired look. Electrosurgery is a medical technique that uses low power high-frequency electrical currents using Hyfrecator to cut or coagulate tissue during surgical procedures. This method is commonly used for various treatments, including the removal of skin tags, warts, and various skin lesions. Electrosurgery can minimise bleeding and reduce risk of infection, making it a preferred choice in many surgical settings. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and learn more about how we help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

HYFRECATOR TREATMENT

1) What is an Hyfrecator?​​

The Hyfrecator is an electrosurgical device used for cutting, coagulating, and desiccating tissues. It uses high-frequency  electrical currents to achieve these effects, making it useful for minor surgical procedures.


2) Why Choose a Hyfrecator Treatment?

A hyfrecator treatment is a minimally invasive, highly effective option for removing skin tags, Milia, fibrous papule, sebaceous hyperplasia, syringoma, cherry angioma (blood spot), telangiectasia, spider navie and seborrhoeic keratosis.


3) How does the Hyfrecator work?

The device generates high-frequency electrical currents, which can be adjusted in terms of power and waveform. When applied to tissue, these currents can cut through tissue or coagulate blood vessels, depending on the settings used.


4) Is the procedure painful?

Patients may experience some discomfort during procedures using the Hyfrecator. Local anaesthesia or numbing agents are often used to minimise pain.


5) What are the risks associated with Hyfrecator use?
 

While generally safe, potential risks include:

  • Skin burns at the treatment site.

  • Infection.

  • Scarring.

  • Changes in pigmentation.



6) How long does recovery take?

 

Recovery time varies depending on the procedure and the individual's healing response. Most minor procedures have a relatively quick recovery, often within a few days to a couple of weeks.

 


7) Are there any contraindications for using a Hyfrecator?

​

  • Patients with pacemakers or other implanted devices due to interference from electrical currents.

  • Certain skin conditions or infections at the treatment site.

  • Patients with bleeding disorders or on anticoagulant medications should consult their physician before undergoing procedures.

​

 

8) How should the treatment site be cared for post-procedure?

 

  • Keeping the area clean and dry.

  • Avoiding direct sun exposure.

  • Not picking at scabs or crusts that may form.

  • Following specific instructions provided by the healthcare provider.



9) Can Hyfrecators be used for all skin types?

​

Hyfrecator treatments can be performed on various skin types, but each case needs to be assessed individually to determine suitability and customise settings appropriately.
 

 

10. Is the Hyfrecator the same as laser treatment?

​

No, the Hyfrecator uses electrical currents, while laser treatments use focused light beams. Each method has its specific applications, advantages, and disadvantages.
