Radio Frequency Surgery

Radio Surgery (Radiofrequency or Radiowave Surgery) is used to remove moles, warts, skin tags, and other lumps and bumps. It involves the passage of radio waves into the skin to perform lesion removal or reshaping. Different types of electrodes are used depending on the type of lesion, such as fine needles, wire loops, and scalpel blades.
