Electrocoagulation of warts is an effective method of current exposure that allows you to remove warts without pain and consequences.

General information

Warts are removed using a special device - an electrocoagulator. It heats the skin formation due to the current and destroys its cells.

It also depends on the depth, width and type of the wart. The duration of current exposure is on average between 1 and 2 minutes. The specialist independently selects the materials through which the current is conducted. Depending on this, the heating strength and current supply are adjusted. Local anesthesia is used during the session.
