Inconspicuous and often small growths on the skin - papillomas - in fact, can be a serious threat to the human body. In addition to the fact that papillomas disrupt the aesthetic appearance, they can also negatively affect health. Papillomas can develop into a malignant formation. There are many modern techniques for removing papillomas, including electrocoagulation. Electrocoagulation is a medical procedure that involves cauterization of soft tissue or removal of benign formations through the action of electric current. The frequency and strength of the current applied to the device is controlled directly by the surgeon. The device itself contains a special electrode or loop for removing tumors.
What is electrocoagulation?
Electrocoagulation is a method of removing tumors on the skin using current.
Many people ask various questions that require only one answer. These questions torment them constantly: how to get rid of a wart, is it possible to remove a papilloma, how to remove a mole , is it safe to remove a mole on the face. The matter does not move further, because few people turn to methods for removing papillomas, plantar warts, and removing moles on the face, for which you need to visit a cosmetology center. Many people know their grandmother’s remedies for warts and papillomas, but they have long been outdated, and such methods do not provide a 100% guarantee that after removing warts, new ones will not appear in this place. Many people ask their acquaintances and friends how they get rid of warts, but it is not a fact that the very remedy that was named helped. In some cases, they go away on their own.
Science does not stand still; more and more methods are emerging for removing moles on the face and other areas of the skin, removing warts, and removing papillomas. The main methods can be listed: laser therapy, surgery and electrocoagulation . Cosmetology has been using these methods for a long time and has extensive experience. The most popular method of the listed methods for removing moles on the face, removing plantar warts and other types of tumors is laser therapy. It should be noted that not every person who has a mole on the face, a plantar wart or a papilloma will allow themselves to turn to this method, due to the fact that the price of using such technology is quite high due to the cost of the device itself and the complexity of its operation. Removing a mole, treating warts , removing papillomas , at first glance seems like a minor procedure, so people are not ready to shell out large sums of money to solve this problem. People continue to walk around with papillomas or moles because they don’t want to go under the knife. Electrocoagulation is the most optimal and safe option for removing moles. The results of this procedure are as effective as laser therapy and surgery, but less painful and affordable.
In what cases is electrocoagulation technology used?
An electrocoagulation session is used to remove warts, remove moles on the face, remove papillomas and plantar warts. Unfortunately, it is quite rare to turn to a cosmetologist to solve these problems, although this method has long been used in professional facial cosmetology.
People come to a cosmetologist only when all the remedies at home have been tried, but they have not helped or have worsened the situation. Another reason for visiting a cosmetology center is discomfort from the presence of papillomas or moles on the face.
Now let's talk about the most common types of skin tumors.
When a person is born, he does not have a single mole on his face or body. They usually appear before age 25. You cannot remove a mole yourself; it is extremely dangerous to your health. Removal of moles on the face or body should be carried out by a cosmetologist who has a special education; under no circumstances seek the services of medical professionals who do not have the necessary knowledge, skills and experience. If a mole is removed incorrectly, the development of melanoma can be stimulated. If a mole on the face or body is benign, electrocoagulation of the mole can be done. Electrocoagulation of a mole is considered to prevent the appearance of melanoma. The condition of the tumors must be constantly monitored. Suspicious moles on the face or other part of the body are considered if they: appeared in adulthood, the surface became glossy, asymmetry appeared, began to bleed, are larger than one centimeter in size, or change over time. In such cases, you need to contact an oncologist. The mole removal procedure should only be performed after consultation with an oncologist or dermatologist.
Warts can occur when a person sweats excessively; in this case, warts appear on the hands and feet (plantar wart). A plantar wart can occur due to tight shoes, unlike a simple plantar wart, a plantar wart interferes with walking due to the high degree of pain. Scratches and cuts can also be the cause. Warts on the hands usually appear between the fingers and on the back of the hand. If you do not remove the wart immediately, then after a while you will have to deal with the removal of much larger numbers of warts.
Papilloma is similar to the previous neoplasm, only it has a stalk. It has an uneven surface. The color of papilloma can vary: from white to brown. Papilloma causes discomfort in the form of itching. Papilloma can also bleed. You can protect yourself from neoplasms in the form of papillomas if you don’t succumb to stress, have a strong immune system, and be sure to treat cuts and scratches with disinfectants. The occurrence of papillomas and warts on the hands indicates a low level of the body's immune defense. Often the appearance of papillomas is associated with disorders in the intestinal tract and metabolic disorders. Advanced forms of colitis, kidney disease, gynecological diseases and gastritis stimulate the formation of papilloma. Removing papillomas, as well as removing warts, is dangerous to do on your own. By cutting and tearing out papillomas, you increase the risk of infection in the body.

Human papillomavirus: why is it dangerous and how to resist it?
The biggest problem in dealing with the external manifestations of papillomatosis is the viral nature of the disease. The human papillomavirus has currently infected more than 70% of the world's population, and it includes more than 170 strains. Some of them are harmless, others (more than 40 types) can affect the genitals with genital warts, others cause vulgar warts, but the most dangerous are strains 16, 18, 31, 33, 39, 50, 59, 64, 68, 70, carrying a high degree of threat to oncology. Therefore, it is not enough to eliminate all skin manifestations of HPV and calm down; doctors recommend taking a PCR test to determine the presence or absence of oncogenic types of the virus. If one or more of them are detected, this should not be considered a fatal diagnosis and a peremptory sentence. This is only a factor contributing to the development of cancerous tumors, but not cancer itself. And although it is impossible to completely eradicate the papillomavirus in the human body, it makes sense to undergo courses of therapy designed to muffle and neutralize the harmful effects of HPV by activating one’s own defenses, that is, increasing immunity. Immunomodulators and antiviral agents are prescribed. Preparations based on natural components have a mild immunostimulating effect: “ Echinacea P ”, “ Leuzea P ”, “ Eromax ”, “ Eleutherococcus P ”, “ Dihydroquercetin Plus ”, “ Licorice P ”.
In addition to removing HPV foci on the body (warts and condylomas), patients are advised to pay maximum attention to taking care of their immunity:
- to harden;
- exercise;
- give up bad habits (smoking, drinking alcohol, drugs) that destroy the immune system;
- take vitamins. An excellent choice would be natural vitamin and mineral complexes for people leading an active lifestyle: “ Leveton P ”, “ Leveton Forte ”, “ Elton P ”, “ Elton Forte ”, “ Apitonus P ”;
- monitor your diet, ensuring it is balanced;
- get enough fresh air, ventilate rooms more often, take a walk every day;
- maintain a sleep-wake schedule, sleep 7–8 hours a day.
In addition, today there are vaccines against papillomavirus, which are administered to young girls as a means of preventing the development of cervical cancer caused by highly oncogenic strains of HPV. We also must not forget about pickiness in sexual relations, because unprotected sex is a common route of transmission of this insidious pest, like many others. As you know, health is achieved through complex measures, which should be constantly remembered. Be healthy!
How is the procedure done?
The cosmetologist disinfects the area of skin where the papilloma or other skin tumor is located. Then the cosmetologist administers local anesthesia. Removal of papillomas, warts and other tumors using the electrocoagulation method is the same. There is a special device - an electrocoagulator. Using this device, which has a loop that is heated to high temperatures under the influence of current, all unwanted tumors are removed, the skin around the tumor is coagulated, which does not allow infected cells to spread and prevents bleeding. The procedure is quite quick, usually taking from 5 to 20 minutes. A crust forms at the site of removal. Removal of papillomas is accompanied by preventive actions to prevent the spread of the virus.
After removing a mole, removing a wart or removing a papilloma, you should adhere to the following rules. Wound healing will occur within 8-10 days, during this time it is better not to wet the crust with water, and under no circumstances tear it off. On the 10-12th day it will disappear on its own, leaving behind a pink spot, which over time will become the same tone as the skin. During healing, treat the treatment site of a wart or other growth with antiseptic agents.
This procedure has a number of contraindications.
