Removal of moles on the face. Price radio wave, Surgitron, nitrogen

Removal of a mole on the face is required if when the neoplasm is a potential threat or causes a cosmetic defect.

The risk of degeneration of a common nevus into malignant melanoma increases when the mole changes color, shape, size, or is constantly injured. In this case, it will be necessary to remove the neoplasm by one of the selected methods, which differ in the method of exposure and price.

Radio waves

Removal of moles on the face (the price depends on the number of neoplasms) using radio waves - effective a non-contact method based on radio wave exposure that comes from a surgical electrode.

The heat from radio waves affects the pigmented cells of the neoplasms, destroying them by decay and evaporation without damaging the surrounding tissues. The procedure is bloodless and painless.

Procedures involving cauterization of neoplasms have side effects in the form of burns to the surrounding tissues, with the formation of a scab and the formation of a scar. The radio wave method is devoid of these drawbacks, since it acts on the skin without contact.

Contraindications

Despite the safety, the method has contraindications associated with pathological processes in the body:

• the presence of malignant neoplasms;
• chronic dermatological diseases;
• the presence of a pacemaker;
• infectious and inflammatory processes in the acute stage;
• increased body temperature;
• exacerbation of herpes infection;
• period of menstruation.

It is forbidden to remove moles by radio waves for women during breastfeeding and pregnancy.

Possible complications

The non-contact method of removing moles is considered safe. Possible complications may be associated with a violation of the recommendations for caring for the affected area.

In the absence of timely treatment with antiseptics, as well as when visiting a pool or sauna, inflammation and suppuration may develop.

Procedure step by step

The procedure for removing moles on the face using the radio wave method consists of the following stages:

1. Introduction of local anesthesia. Both injectable and application pain relievers are used.
   
2. Removal of the neoplasm with a surgical electrode. The specialist independently selects the frequency of radio waves, taking into account the size of the mole and the depth of its penetration. The procedure takes 10-20 minutes. If large lesions are present, a second procedure may be required.
3. Treatment of the site with antiseptics.
4. Sending a removed mole for histological examination.

Immediately after the procedure, the patient can lead a normal life. The rehabilitation period lasts about 7 days. During this time, it is forbidden to visit baths, saunas and swimming pools.

Contact of the affected area with water should be avoided. The crust formed at the site of removal falls off on its own within 1 week.

Advantages and disadvantages

Like any procedure, the radio wave method for removing moles has its pros and cons:

Advantages	Flaws
· Painlessness; · Lack of scars; · Minimal destruction of surrounding tissues; · Lack of bleeding; · Quickness of healing; · Speed ​​of the procedure; · The ability to lead a normal life without long rehabilitation; · Achieving a cosmetic effect.	· The presence of contraindications; · The risk of inflammation in case of violation of recommendations for wound care.

Surgitron

Surgitron is a modern radiosurgical device, with the help of which a non-contact soft tissue incision is performed using high-frequency radio waves. The radio waves that form at the end of the electrode do not exert physical pressure.

They are absorbed by the intracellular fluid and affect only the surface layers. The destruction of tissues occurs at the micro level, without cell division, so the risk of deep damage is minimal. The device "Surgitron" allows the specialist to control the depth of the incision visually and tactilely.

The technique is considered gentle and safe. High-frequency waves generate heat energy, cut through soft tissue and vaporize pigmented cells, leaving an imperceptible mark. Therefore, to remove moles and papillomas on the face, it is the radio wave method of surgery that is chosen.

Contraindications

Removing moles on the face (the price depends on the chosen method) with the help of Surgitron has contraindications.

It is unacceptable to use the method when:

• malignant formations;
• inflammatory diseases in the acute stage;
• viral or inflammatory skin processes;
• diabetes mellitus;
• the presence of a pacemaker;
• diseases of the circulatory system;
• epilepsy.

It is forbidden to remove neoplasms for women during pregnancy or lactation, as well as for persons under 16 years of age.

Possible complications

Since the radio wave removal of neoplasms is carried out without contact with the skin, the risk complications after the procedure are minimal, and the rehabilitation period proceeds without consequences.

In this case, it is important to follow the doctor's recommendations for treating the affected areas with antiseptics. Also, after the procedure, it is forbidden to sunbathe and visit the pools for 3-4 days.

Procedure step by step

Removing moles with Surgitron does not require special preparation.

The procedure consists of several stages:

1. The specialist examines the mole, evaluates its size, shape and adjusts the device to a specific wave frequency.
   
2. Before removal, infiltration or local anesthesia is performed.
3. Removal of a neoplasm occurs simultaneously with the help of a working electrode, which is equipped with a radio wave generator. It instantly disinfects and seals the blood vessels, minimizing the risk of blood loss.
4. After removal, the damaged area is treated with a special solution and sealed with a plaster.

The duration of the procedure depends on the number of moles and their size. The recovery period lasts from 1 to 7 days. After removal of the neoplasm, a brown crust forms, which disappears on its own within 1 week.

Advantages and disadvantages

The procedure has its advantages and disadvantages:

pros	Minuses
· Painlessness of the procedure; · safety; · Aesthetic result without scars; · No bleeding without the risk of infection; · Implementation of the procedure on an outpatient basis; · The ability to remove any types of neoplasms.	· The presence of contraindications.

Nitrogen

Removal of moles on the face (the price for 1 piece varies between 200-400 rubles) with the help of liquid nitrogen is called cryodestruction. The method is based on the instantaneous effect of liquid nitrogen on the neoplasm.

As a result, the intercellular and intracellular fluid freezes, the movement of protoplasm is stopped. Impaired microcirculation to the tissues of the affected area leads to the destruction of the mole, death and subsequent rejection.

Contraindications

The procedure has a number of contraindications:

• epilepsy;
  
• inflammatory diseases in the acute stage;
• acute infectious diseases;
• temperature increase;
• the presence of neoplasms with a diameter of more than 4 mm;
• diabetes;
• location of neoplasms in hard-to-reach places.

Possible complications

Complications from the procedure are associated with damage to the surrounding tissues. The development of an inflammatory process is possible due to non-observance of the doctor's recommendations for caring for the affected area, which must be treated with an antiseptic daily and do not allow water to enter.

Procedure step by step

The cryodestruction procedure consists of the following stages:

1. Freezing the neoplasm. Using an apparatus or a miniature applicator, liquid nitrogen with a temperature of -197C is applied to the mole. The application of the substance takes about 30 seconds.
   
2. Destruction of a mole. Under the influence of the substance, the mole turns pale. At the same time, a slight tingling sensation is felt. The membranes of the mole are damaged, the cytoplasm in the cells crystallizes.
3. The restoration of blood circulation in the damaged area occurs within 2 hours. It takes on a natural shade.

Mole necrosis begins 14 days after the application of liquid nitrogen. A brown crust forms at the site of the neoplasm, and underneath it is healthy new tissue.

The restoration of the affected area occurs within 1.5 months, after which no traces remain on the skin.

Advantages and disadvantages

The cryodestruction procedure has its advantages and disadvantages:

pros	Minuses
· The speed of the operation; · Lack of bleeding; · Lack of scars and scars; · Painlessness.	· The need to repeat the procedure when removing large moles; · Inability to remove neoplasms in hard-to-reach places; · Traumatization of soft tissues.

Laser removal

Removing moles on the face with a laser is a safe and effective method of non-contact removal of neoplasms. The price for the procedure varies between 1000-3000 rubles. and depends on the number of moles, their size and type.

The removal tool is a powerful light beam that comes from a laser system. It destroys the cells of the neoplasm, evaporating them from the skin. In this way, not only the upper part of the mole is removed, but also its deep roots.

The treatment of the site is carried out in layers, without the risk of damaging the surrounding tissues. The laser coagulates the blood vessels, so removal occurs without bleeding.

The specialist adjusts the diameter of the incoming beam on his own, which allows you to more accurately eliminate all parts of the mole without the need to repeat the procedure.

Contraindications

Laser removal of moles has contraindications:

• viral hepatitis;
• HIV;
• oncological diseases;
• suspicion of a malignant neoplasm;
• infectious and inflammatory diseases;
• diabetes;
• photodermosis;
• pathology of the cardiovascular system;
• severe mental illness;
• exacerbation of chronic diseases;
• the period of pregnancy and lactation in women.

Before removing suspicious moles, a histological analysis must be done to confirm that the neoplasm is benign. When removed with a laser, the mole is completely destroyed and it is impossible to send the biomaterial for analysis after the procedure.

Possible complications

Removing moles with a laser is considered a safe, non-invasive method. The procedure does not lead to the development of complications, however, it can cause slight reddening of the skin at the site of laser exposure. Blistering may occur in patients with sensitive skin.

Procedure step by step

No special preparation is required for the procedure. The patient arrives at the appointed time. The duration of non-invasive surgery is 5-10 minutes.

Removal of neoplasms occurs in several stages:

1. Application of application or injection anesthesia.
2. Removal of a mole with a CO2 laser. The device acts as a "scalpel", making a bloodless incision at a distance, and then coagulates the edges of the wound and seals the vessels to avoid bleeding.
   
3. 2 hours after the end of the procedure, a dense brown crust forms on the area with the removed mole, which will completely disappear from the skin after 2 weeks.

Advantages and disadvantages

The laser method for removing neoplasms has its pros and cons:

Advantages	Flaws
· efficiency; · Lack of bleeding; · Automatic sterilization of the studied focus using a laser; · Minimal trauma to soft tissues; · The ability to remove several moles in 1 session; · Painlessness; Minimal risk of scarring	· Rather high cost in comparison with other methods of disposal; · Risk of blistering on sensitive skin.

Surgical removal

Removal of moles on the face (the price depends on the type of neoplasm to be removed) using a surgical interventions are an extreme method that is used when it is impossible to eliminate education by others ways. Surgical removal involves excision of the nevi with a scalpel.

The purpose of such an operation is to minimize the risk of the transition of benign formations to malignant ones, as well as send the excised tissue for histological examination. Surgical intervention is indicated in the presence of a mole with deep roots.

Contraindications

Contraindications to the procedure are:

• high temperature;
  
• infectious or inflammatory diseases;
• menstrual period in women.

Possible complications

When removing neoplasms with a scalpel, there is a likelihood of the onset of an inflammatory process, which can be associated with both a medical error and improper patient care for the wound.

Possible complications of surgery include:

• suppuration of the wound;
• the formation of severe edema;
• increased body temperature;
• soreness in the area of ​​removal of the mole.

Procedure step by step

Surgical removal of a mole on the face consists of the following stages:

1. Pain relief with local anesthesia.
2. Excision of a mole with a scalpel within healthy tissue.
3. Suturing if necessary. The number of stitches depends on the size of the affected area.
4. Applying an antiseptic bandage.

Within 7 days after removal, you must visit the dressing room to apply sterile dressings. Removal of stitches is carried out for 5-7 days. The total healing period takes 7 to 21 days.

Advantages and disadvantages

Surgical removal of moles is a procedure with its own advantages and disadvantages:

pros	Minuses
· No risk of reappearance of the mole; · safety; · The ability to remove a nevus in one session; · Sending excised tissues for histology; · Minimum of contraindications; · Affordable cost of the procedure.	· The need for strong anesthesia; · The likelihood of scars and scars due to suturing; · A longer recovery period.

Features of the rehabilitation period

The speed of healing of the affected skin area after removal of the mole depends on the observance of special measures during the rehabilitation period. Proper skin care and the implementation of all recommendations will avoid the development of complications.

Immediately after removal by radio wave or laser, a dark crust forms at the site of the mole, under which the healing process begins.

During this period, it is important:

• treat the wound with an antiseptic solution or potassium permanganate for 3-4 days;
• avoid getting water and cosmetics on the surface of the wound;
• do not try to remove the crust yourself, as there is a risk of scarring.

Not recommended:

• sunbathe and visit the solarium within 1 month after removal;
• apply makeup in the area of ​​birthmark removal for 7 days;
• drink alcohol for 3-7 days.

Removal of moles on the face is carried out by invasive and non-invasive methods. The selected methods of removing neoplasms differ in the principle of action and prices.

Modern technologies allow you to remove a mole contactlessly, without scars and scars. An exception is surgical intervention, which is indicated when removing neoplasms with a risk of developing an oncological process.
