Cautery (or Electrocautery) is a medical procedure that uses heat to destroy abnormal tissue or seal blood vessels.
Instead of cutting with a scalpel, we use a small probe heated by an electric current. This “burns” off the unwanted growth while simultaneously sealing the wound. It is the gold standard GP procedure for removing things that bleed easily, like pyogenic granulomas (red vascular bumps) and for removing multiple small skin tags in one session.
We use a safe medical process to remove lesions and seal the skin:
Your GP checks the lesion to confirm it is benign (non-cancerous) and suitable for lesion cauterization.
For larger lesions, we inject a small amount of local anaesthetic to numb the base so you feel no pain.
Using a specialized heated probe, we precisely burn away the unwanted tissue or seal the blood vessel.
A small protective scab forms immediately. We apply a dressing, and the scab falls off naturally in a week or two.

The procedure is generally painless because we use a local anesthetic to numb the area before applying the heat.
Costs vary depending on the number of lesions treated; for exact pricing, please visit Victa Health reception.
You will likely have a small, pale flat mark, but it is usually much less visible than a surgical incision scar.
The treated area forms a scab that typically falls off within 7 to 10 days, revealing pink skin that fades over time.
It is only used for raised, benign moles (intradermal naevi); suspicious flat moles must be cut out (excised) for testing.
Cryotherapy freezes the lesion with cold, while cautery burns it with heat; cautery is better for lesions that bleed.
Skin tags and vascular bumps can be irritating, unsightly, and bleed when caught on clothes. Precise Cautery Skin Treatment at Victa Health removes them instantly and safely.
