Most of them are benign and harmless. They can become malignant over time and then they need to be surgically removed. Only a dermatologist and a surgeon can assess whether a mole is potentially dangerous. If the mole is located on a spot where it is constantly irritated or if one\u2019s appearance is affected by it, it is completely safe to remove it using radiofrequency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CUYCtVos4Ed\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\"  background:#FFF;

Radiofrequency surgery is very precise, completely affecting the desired area, so there is less damage than when a surgical scalpel is used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Radiofrequency mole removal can be done by anaesthetising the skin area with an anaesthetic cream or with a small dose of anaesthetic injection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The intervention itself lasts only a few seconds with minimal or no bleeding at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After moles have been removed, the patient won\u2019t feel any pain, because the precise high-frequency waves do minimal damage to the skin, regardless of the depth of the treated change. The high temperature at which they do the cutting removes the function of sensitive fibres, the patient won&#8217;t feel any pain even for a few hours after removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the treatment, a dry scab forms at the site of the intervention. The scab falls off after 3 to 14 days, depending on the size of the change that has been removed. The skin will be a little lighter for a month. Over time, the colour will even out and that\u2019s considered a normal healing process. Over time, the colour will even out and that\u2019s considered a normal healing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scar after the intervention is minimal, except when the change requires a deeper penetration of the radio waves, after which a shallow scar, lighter in colour than the surrounding skin, may remain at the site of removal. An experienced dermatologist will inform the patient of what the scar might look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Radio waves are most often used to remove the moles raised above the skin surface. The procedure uses the Ellman Radiosurgery device, which can shave away layer by layer from the skin surface in a very precise manner. During the procedure, the dermatologist has a very high control over the depth and surface of the removal with minimal scaring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apart from mole removal, radiofrequency surgery is also suitable for the removal of <a href=\"https:\/\/dermatim.rs\/en\/dermatology-in-belgrade\/keratosis-seborrheic-and-actinic\/\">keratoses<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/dermatim.rs\/en\/dermatology-in-belgrade\/types-of-warts\/\">warts<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/dermatim.rs\/en\/dermatology-in-belgrade\/fibromas\/\">fibroids<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/dermatim.rs\/en\/aesthetic-dermatologist-belgrade\/acne-scars-and-acne-scar-removal\/\">dilated capillaries<\/a> on the face, condyloma, cysts and for the correction of <a href=\"https:\/\/dermatim.rs\/en\/aesthetic-dermatologist-belgrade\/acne-scars-and-acne-scar-removal\/\">acne scars<\/a>.
