Radiowave Surgery for Skin Lesion Removal Video

Dr. Gavin Chan performs radiowave surgery to remove a few skin lesions from a patient's face

Radio wave skin surgery is a unique, less invasive, and highly effective treatment for the removal of benign skin lesions on the face or other parts of the body. In this video, the treatment is performed by Dr. Gavin Chan. Dr. Chan uses radio wave surgery to remove skin lesions from the patient?��Ǩ�Ѣs face.

Before beginning the treatment, Dr. Chan puts on sterile plastic gloves. The procedure begins with an injection of a small amount of local anesthetic into the base of the skin lesion to reduce any discomfort to the patient (Margaret) during the treatment.

Dr. Chan uses three instruments during the radio wave skin surgery. First, an electrode tip, a channel for the radio waves, is used to remove the skin lesion. Second, a suction tube is used to remove any smoke and vapors produced during the procedure. Third, a neutral plate, which acts as a receiver to pick up radio waves from the electrode, is placed under the patients shoulder.

The electrode tip is then used to gently brush over the top of the lesion, gradually shaving it down in layers until it is level with the surrounding skin. A cotton ball is used to blot the lesion as it is removed.

Key benefits of radio wave surgery include:

• No incisions are required beneath the skin
• Radio wave surgery is a very precise procedure that requires very little pressure to the skin
• This is a bloodless procedure due to simultaneous blood coagulation
• Radio Wave surgery provides enhanced healing with less swelling, pain, or infection
• There is minimal damage to skin, which results in little or no scarring
• No stitches are required at end of the procedure
• This procedure delivers superior cosmetic results

In summary, this video demonstrates the procedure and benefits of radio wave skin surgery, a treatment that utilizes a band of high frequency wave lengths that generate minimal heat. The treatment requires only a local anesthetic, which is carefully injected into the base of the skin lesion. The radio waves are then channeled through an electrode tip to remove the benign skin lesion by gradually shaving it down in layers. Because the wave lengths generate minimum heat, that means minimal damage to the surrounding skin. The procedure is quick, very precise, and bloodless. Plus, the pain is minimal. The advantages of the treatment are enhanced healing without scarring, less swelling, less infection, and optimum cosmetic results.
