Precise. Safe. Flawless—Cautery solutions for skin that's clear, confident, and truly yours
Tags on the skin
Skin tags are tiny, flesh-colored, soft growths that frequently show up in places that are prone to friction, such as the eyelids, neck, and underarms. With careful care, these benign but occasionally bothersome lesions can be safely removed with little discomfort, leaving the skin clear and smooth. For a smoother skin texture, it’s a fast and efficient cosmetic solution.
Warts
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections frequently result in warts, which are hard, elevated skin growths that typically afflict the hands, feet, and fingers. With cautious treatment, contaminated cells are destroyed and recurrence is avoided by carefully targeting the wart tissue with regulated heat. This is a tried-and-true, quick, non-surgical way to get rid of warts.
Keratosis with seborrhea
Benign skin lesions that resemble warts and might be tan, black, or brown are called seborrheic keratoses. Despite being innocuous, they can enlarge and become unsightly. By vaporizing the aberrant tissue, Cautery gently removes these thick, scaly spots, leaving the skin smooth and looking more youthful and revitalized.
Angiomas of the Cherry
Clusters of dilated blood vessels develop tiny, red or purplish patches called cherry angiomas. Even though they are harmless, they may grow bigger or more common as people age. With less recovery time and a lower chance of irritation or bleeding, electrocautery treatment rapidly closes and eliminates these vascular growths, improving the appearance of the skin.
Milia
Milia are microscopic white cysts that resemble pearls and frequently form clusters under the forehead, cheeks, or eyes. They happen when keratin becomes stuck beneath the epidermis. The skin surrounding delicate and high-visibility facial areas becomes smoother and clearer as a consequence of using caution to gently open the skin and evaporate the milia without leaving scars.
Xanthelasma
Xanthelasma, which is frequently associated with lipid abnormalities, manifests as yellowish deposits around the eyes that are high in cholesterol. Despite being benign, they have the potential to grow over time and alter appearance. By gently ablating the tissue, careful therapy successfully eliminates these plaques, restoring a more consistent eyelid contour and providing both psychological and cosmetic relief.
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra, or DPN
DPN is more common in deeper skin tones and manifests as tiny, benign, dark pimples that are usually found on the cheeks, forehead, and neck. These lesions can be accurately vaporized with little damage using fine-tuned cautery, maintaining skin integrity and avoiding hyperpigmentation—a crucial factor for treating melanin-rich skin types.
Rasa Derm’s Cautery Treatment
Precise Remedies for Skin Defects
Small skin flaws shouldn’t be a barrier to your confidence, in our opinion at Rasa Derm. Your feelings about your skin can be slightly impacted by even minor issues like skin tags, warts, moles, seborrheic keratosis, and cherry angiomas.
We provide advanced cautery treatments because they are a safe, effective, and minimally invasive method of carefully and precisely removing undesirable skin lesions.
Cautery offers a dependable way to achieve smoother, clearer skin without the need for surgery, sutures, or prolonged recovery, whether you’re looking for medical removal or cosmetic refinement.
Cautery Treatment: What Is It?
A tried-and-true dermatological method, cautery treatment uses controlled heat, either by radiofrequency (RF) energy or electric current (electrocautery), to kill undesired or aberrant tissue.
This method minimizes damage to the surrounding healthy skin while enabling accurate lesion targeting.
Modern cautery and radiofrequency equipment are used at Rasa Derm to:
- Provide granular precision
- Control the bleeding both during and after the procedure.
- Reduce downtime and scarring
- Quicken the healing process
All patients are guaranteed a smooth and comfortable experience during cautious treatments, which are carried out under local anesthesia or topical numbing cream.
What Is Treatable by Cautery?
Cautery is a flexible method that can be used to safely treat a variety of benign skin lesions, such as:
- Skin Tags: These are tiny, flesh-colored, soft growths that typically show up on the eyelids, groin, neck, and underarms. Although they are safe, they frequently irritate skin or raise cosmetic issues.
- Warts: Rough, elevated, viral skin growths that are usually found on the hands, feet, or fingers. Cautery helps stop the spread and recurrence of the infection by efficiently destroying the diseased tissue.
- Seborrheic Keratosis: non-cancerous, wart-like lesions that can get thicker over time and have a brown, black, or tan appearance. For cosmetic clarity, Cautery provides a quick and easy method of removing them.
- Cherry Angiomas: These are tiny, harmless blood vessel growths that can be red or purplish. These areas can be safely sealed and removed with caution.
- Milia — When keratin gets trapped under the skin, little white pimples appear. To remove milia without leaving scars, Cautery carefully opens the skin.
- Xanthelasma: Yellowish plaques surrounding the eyes that are high in cholesterol. A safe and efficient way to smooth these spots and improve the appearance of the eyelids is with cautery.
- Moles (for Cosmetic Removal): These are pigmented, non-cancerous areas that can be cauterized to improve appearance following a medical evaluation.
- DPN (Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra): Usually found in deeper skin tones, these are little, dark, elevated pimples. A precise solution with little chance of pigmentation is provided by caution.
Before starting, our dermatological experts thoroughly assesses each lesion to make sure it is safe for cosmetic removal.

The Cautery Procedure
Step 1: Consultation and Assessment of the Skin
In order to ensure safety and cosmetic harmony, your dermatologist will carefully evaluate the lesion’s size, depth, and kind before deciding on the optimal removal strategy.
Step 2: Anesthesia and Preparation
After cleansing the area, a local anesthetic injection or numbing lotion is applied for optimal comfort.
Step 3: Applying Caution
To evaporate or reduce the lesion, precisely regulated heat is administered using a specialized equipment. The skin around it is unaffected.
Step 4: Care After Treatment
Along with thorough post-care instructions to maximize skin recovery and minimize any marks, a calming healing ointment is provided.
Duration of the Session:
Ten to twenty minutes for minor lesions
30 to 45 minutes for several or bigger lesions
Recovery and Aftercare
A few days after treatment, some redness, swelling, or scabbing is to be expected.
- For at least 24 hours, keep the area dry and clean.
- Use antibiotic creams as directed.
- Use broad-spectrum SPF every day and stay out of the sun.
- To avoid discoloration or scarring, avoid picking or scratching at scabs.
- If recommended, keep follow-up visits for evaluations or small touch-ups.
The majority of patients see smoother, more flawless skin after 7–10 days of complete recovery.
Who Makes a Perfect Cautery Candidate?
An excellent candidate is one who:
- Possess noticeable or bothersome benign skin lesions
- Looking for a quick, non-surgical fix?
- Prefer safe results and less downtime.
- Have reasonable hopes for recovery and outcomes.
- Want to improve the way your skin looks before important occasions or milestones?
- Caution: Before undergoing cosmetic removal, suspicious lesions are always thoroughly examined, and when necessary, a biopsy is advised to rule out cancer.
Timeline of Results
The lesion seems sealed, smaller, or flattened right after therapy.
After a day or two, mild redness or scabbing could appear.
5–10 days: Scabs naturally come off, exposing fresh, healthy skin underneath.
Three to four weeks: Complete skin remodeling, merging of pigmentation, and organic connection with surrounding tissue.
The majority of treated areas merely exhibit brighter, more refreshed skin with little to no apparent scars when properly cared for.

FAQS CAUTERY
Cautery is generally very well tolerated. We apply a topical numbing cream or local anesthesia before starting, making the procedure virtually painless. Most patients feel only mild warmth or a brief tingling sensation during the process.
A single cautery session usually takes between 10 to 45 minutes, depending on the size, depth, and number of lesions being treated. Small lesions may be removed very quickly, often in under 20 minutes.
When performed correctly and followed by good aftercare, cautery typically leaves minimal to no visible scarring. At Rasa Derm, we use precise techniques to protect surrounding healthy skin and promote optimal cosmetic healing.
After your session, keep the treated area clean, dry, and protected with healing ointments. Avoid sun exposure, picking at scabs, or using harsh products for at least 7–10 days. Sunscreen is critical for preventing pigmentation after healing.
Most patients return to their normal activities immediately after cautery treatment. Some minor redness or scabbing may occur, but it doesn’t typically interfere with work, social events, or exercise (with minor adjustments).
In most cases, a single session is enough to remove skin tags, warts, or small lesions. However, certain conditions like larger warts or resistant growths may require 1–2 touch-up sessions for complete clearance.
Only benign moles can be safely removed using cautery. Suspicious or atypical moles are first evaluated by Dr. Veenu Jindal, and if needed, a biopsy is recommended before proceeding with cosmetic removal.
Yes! Cautery is safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones. At Rasa Derm, special care is taken to prevent post-inflammatory pigmentation and to ensure even healing across all complexions.
Absolutely. Multiple skin tags, warts, or other lesions can be treated during the same appointment, depending on the number, size, and areas involved. Your dermatologist will create a personalized plan during your consultation.
Cautery provides permanent removal of treated lesions. However, if you are prone to conditions like skin tags, cherry angiomas, or warts, new growths may appear elsewhere over time, and maintenance sessions may occasionally be needed.
