Atheroma is a tumor that can appear on any part of the body. Especially this ailment "likes" to arise in open areas, such as face and neck. That is why the surgeon tries not only to get rid of the problem, but also to make its past existence as inconspicuous as possible. Specialists recommend using the radio-wave method to remove atheroma . With the help of it you can make a scar almost imperceptible to others.
Removal of atheroma by radio wave method
In fact, this method is a surgical operation. Only an incision is made not by a conventional or laser scalpel, but by a radio-wave scalpel. The method has a lot of advantages:
- Together with the opening of the cyst, an immediate stop of bleeding from small vessels occurs. This helps reduce the risk of hematoma formation, which usually occurs when using a metal scalpel. In addition, visualization improves during the procedure, which shortens the time it takes.
- At the same time, radio waves have a bactericidal effect - this reduces the possibility of the occurrence of suppurative complications in the future.
- The method has the lowest postoperative morbidity. This effect was achieved due to coagulation of nerves in the affected area.
- In the case of the removal of small formations, there is not even a need to superimpose sutures.
- Minimal traumatic impact, which prevents the formation of gross scars. This also contributes to accelerated healing.
Removal by radio wave method of one atheroma on the face , neck and any other place in time does not exceed half an hour. Despite the use of a non-metallic scalpel, local anesthesia is still applied.
After the cut, high-frequency radiation is sent to the affected area. As a result, formation with the capsule is completely removed without residue. The wound is treated with an antiseptic, and a bandage is applied from above. Literally a few minutes after the procedure the patient can already go home.
When removing a large cyst, observation is usually given in the clinic.
Contraindications to radio wave treatment of atheroma
The main contraindication to this procedure is the presence of a pacemaker. The fact is that it can be affected by the apparatus itself, and therefore there is a chance that the frequency will come out of rhythm - this will lead to malfunctioning.
In addition, in connection with the use of anesthesia, it is not desirable to use the method for pregnant women and nursing mothers.
