Lesions caused by the human papillomavirus can appear on the face, neck, body, or mucous membranes. Their presence often causes physical discomfort (trauma, chafing) and aesthetic concerns, especially in exposed areas. Prizma Medical Center in Podil uses advanced techniques to remove neoplasms, among which radio wave removal of papillomas occupies a special place. We offer a technology that has proven itself as the gold standard in modern dermatology to provide our patients with guaranteed results and the most comfortable process possible.
What are the advantages of radio wave removal of papillomas?
Modern medicine offers several methods for removing papillomas, but radio wave removal stands out for a number of undeniable advantages that make it the best choice for patients who value quality and minimal risk. Unlike laser coagulation or cryodestruction, the radio wave method uses high-frequency waves that affect only the cells of the neoplasm without affecting the surrounding healthy tissues. This ensures precision, which is especially important when removing papillomas in delicate areas or on the face.
The technology is based on the conversion of electric current into high-frequency waves, which cause the evaporation of water inside the cells of the papilloma. In fact, the neoplasm is carefully “cut off” or evaporated without direct mechanical pressure or thermal burns to the surrounding tissues. Thanks to this, the procedure is virtually bloodless, as the radio waves immediately “seal” the small vessels when removing the papilloma.
Key advantages of the radio wave method:
- Minimal trauma;
- Sterility of the procedure;
- Quick healing;
- No bleeding.
How radio wave destruction of papillomas works
Papilloma removal using radio waves at our clinic is carefully planned for your maximum comfort and safety. Before the procedure, a mandatory consultation with our dermatologist is required. The doctor performs a dermatoscopy to confirm the nature of the neoplasm and the possibility of its removal, and determines the optimal treatment plan. The procedure itself takes a minimum of time, usually a few minutes (up to half an hour), depending on the number and size of the papillomas. After removal, the patient can resume their normal lifestyle.
Stages of the procedure:
- Our doctor examines the papilloma using special instruments, determines its type, size, and depth.
- The area around the growth is treated with a local anesthetic, making radio wave destruction of the papilloma completely painless.
- The specialist uses the thinnest working electrode of the device that generates radio waves. The papilloma is carefully removed, practically “evaporating.”
- After removal, a small neat wound remains, which must be treated with an antiseptic at home.
When radio wave removal of papillomas is not possible
Despite its safety, the procedure has a number of medical contraindications, in the presence of which our specialists may recommend another treatment method. These are:
- The patient has a pacemaker or other implanted electrical devices;
- Acute infectious and inflammatory diseases, including active herpes in the treatment area;
- Blood clotting disorders;
- Decompensated diabetes mellitus;
- Individual intolerance to anesthetics used for local anesthesia;
- Pregnancy and lactation (relative contraindication, the decision is made on an individual basis).
Aftercare
After removing papillomas with radio waves, a small protective scab forms at the site of the growth. This is a normal stage of healing that protects the wound. Proper care during this period is extremely important for achieving the best cosmetic result.
Our specialists will provide you with detailed individual recommendations, but here are the basic rules:
- Do not wet the scab during the first 24 hours;
- Avoid visiting saunas, baths, swimming pools, and open water bodies until the scab has completely fallen off;
- Do not pick at the scab yourself and use antiseptic and healing agents prescribed by your doctor;
- Protect the removal area from direct sunlight with SPF 30–50 cream to avoid pigmentation.
