The radio wave method for removing papillomas is a modern replacement for a scalpel

Papillomas are a common type of benign neoplasm on the skin and mucous membranes, the cause of which is the reproduction of certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) in the epidermis or on mucous membranes. The virus enters the skin through microtraumas, abrasions, cuts, punctures, scratches, and friction. It begins to activate when immunity decreases and metabolic processes in the body are disrupted. The incubation period of human papillomavirus infection lasts from two weeks to several years.

Predisposing factors for the activation of the virus and the formation of papillomas:

• excess weight, impaired carbohydrate metabolism and predisposition to diabetes;
• pregnancy and menopause;
• various immunodeficiency states (HIV infection, hormonal or cytostatic therapy in patients with cancer and autoimmune diseases);
• decrease in local antiviral immunity of the skin in patients with allergic dermatoses who are treated with external corticosteroids;
• chronic stress, frequent overwork and lack of sleep.

Papillomas can be localized in any area of ​​the skin, but the most common places of formation are the skin of the axillary and inguinal-femoral folds, neck folds, facial skin (including eyelids) and submammary areas in women (under the mammary glands). Papillomas usually have the appearance of soft elastic formations on a stalk the color of normal skin, they turn pink when rubbed and inflamed, and are small in size (up to 5–8 mm in length). There may be papillomas on a broad base with a rough surface. The formations are painless, and with prolonged existence their number gradually increases.

Prices for radio wave removal of papillomas

Many people have papillomas on the skin of the face or body.
Some have less, some have more. Some people don’t pay attention to them at all, others dream of getting rid of them. If you are also looking for a way to solve this problem, read this text to the end. In this short article I will talk about a new effective way to remove papillomas

, which I use in my practice -
radio wave surgery
.
However, a little clarification is needed first.

Equipment for radio wave treatment

Surgical treatment with radio waves is one of the most popular ways to solve many problems

Surgical treatment with radio waves is still not widespread in our country, although abroad it is one of the most popular ways to solve many problems in cosmetology, gynecology, ENT and other areas of medicine. This interest is understandable, because radio wave removal has many advantages not only over a conventional scalpel, but also over laser surgery:

• the method is non-contact;
• minimal area of ​​damage;
• Bleeding is practically eliminated;
• disinfection occurs at the same time;
• pain is minimized;
• controlled penetration depth;
• rapid postoperative recovery.

Our center uses the RadioSURG 2200 radio wave surgery device. It is manufactured by the German company Meyer-Haake GmbH Medical Innovations, which has been selling radiosurgical devices of its own production all over the world for more than 30 years. RadioSURG 2200 is used not only in gynecology, but also in plastic, general, vascular and maxillofacial surgery. It is also used to remove nevi (moles, birthmarks) and treat warts with radio waves in dermatology.

Neurosurgery, orthopedics, urology, pediatrics, proctology, oncology - this is not the full range of areas of medicine in which radio wave surgery devices can be and are successfully used.

The equipment can operate in four modes:

• incision;
• coagulation;
• incision and coagulation;
• bipolar coagulation.

In order for radio wave treatment to be carried out as quickly as possible, two electrodes can be connected to the device simultaneously. During the manipulation, the doctor does not need to stop to replace the electrodes in the handle.

Patient comfort and relief of psychological stress play an important role in the successful outcome of the operation. Therefore, when removing cervical erosion, polyps, and papillomas using radio waves, the smoke generated when tissues are heated is eliminated by the same apparatus. This helps to relax the muscles and facilitates the procedure for eliminating pathology.

A wide selection of electrodes, nine stages of power distribution for gentle treatment of tissues, filtration of not only smoke, but also viruses, fungal spores, bacteria - all this was provided by the company's engineers when creating equipment for radiosurgery. And all these technical characteristics are a kind of guarantor of high-quality removal by radio waves of tissue areas affected by pathology.

What do papillomas really look like?

Very often, people who come to see me to remove papillomas call them other skin tumors. Fibropapillomas, keratopapillomas, pigmented nevi. That is why, before removal, you should definitely determine whether you really have papillomas.

Most often, this is a small, 1-3 mm skin formation on a thin stalk. There are three main differences between papilloma and other skin formations. First

- the leg is always thinner than the upper part.
Secondly
, the consistency of papilloma is always softer than the surrounding skin.
Third
, the size of the papilloma is usually small - no more than 5 mm. The photo below shows typical papillomas.

What you need to know about papilloma?

Papilloma is the collective name for benign tumor-like formations on the skin. The disease is viral in nature and develops under the influence of human papillomavirus. The pathology is both congenital and acquired. The virus can enter the body with weakened immunity or against the background of chronic inflammatory processes.

It is impossible to neutralize papilloma with medication. It must be removed surgically, cryosurgically or using radio waves.

What does education look like? Papilloma is a small bulge above the surface of the skin. Most often it is attached to the epithelium by a thin stalk, less often by a wide base. The formation is based on flat or transitional epithelium. It provides a dense, pliable structure and an uneven outer surface.

The shade of the formations varies from white to rich brown. Most papillomas are miniature, and their size does not exceed 1-2 centimeters. At times, the formation grows, resembling the structure of a rooster's comb or cauliflower.

How is a papilloma different from a wart? These are benign formations caused by papillomavirus. Papilloma involves many skin growths of infectious etiology.

A wart is a narrower concept, indicating specific formations caused by a specific type of virus. It is important to consider that the papillomavirus family includes 25 species, 5 genera and more than 170 strains.

The virus can affect any part of the body - eyelids, feet, mammary glands in women, neck. Papillomas in these areas are especially noticeable and can seriously affect a person’s aesthetic perception.

The mucous membranes (nose, mouth, bladder, paranasal sinuses, vocal cords, etc.) are also at risk. Formations on visible parts of the body do not affect the overall health.

They can provoke itching, discomfort or concerns about appearance. All these symptoms can be easily eliminated with surgery. The situation with tumors on the mucous membranes is different.

Laryngeal masses can cause problems with the voice or respiratory system, and bladder papillomas lead to hematuria.

If you notice a papilloma on your body or feel discomfort on the mucous membranes, consult a dermatologist. The doctor will conduct an external examination, determine the type of formation and select the optimal method of therapy. The main thing is not to self-medicate, so as not to aggravate the situation.

Advantages of radio wave removal of papillomas

I am often asked “What is the best method to remove? Where is the best cosmetic result?

. Lately I have refrained from comparing methods because... the same best method may give different results in the hands of different doctors. That is why I will not talk about the advantages of the abstract radio wave method, but about the advantages of my original method of radio wave removal of papillomas:

• 100% safe removal.
  99% of papillomas do not require histological examination. If there is the slightest doubt, it is carried out.
• Removal in 1 visit.
  One papilloma is removed within 1 second. You can remove up to 150 pieces at a time. Minimal damage to healthy tissue allows for the fastest possible healing. Re-inspection is not required or is optional.
• There are no restrictions
  on sports and water procedures after removal. Suppuration in the area of ​​operation is basically impossible. The only thing that should be excluded is sunlight entering the operation site. This is necessary to prevent hyperpigmentation.

Stages of healing

Complete healing of the removed area takes more than a month. Its stages can be traced from photographs taken during observation of the process:

• View of the wound after removal of the damaged area
  Read also:  Find out what to do if the wound does not heal after removing a papilloma
• Type of wound on days 5–8 (crust formation)
• Type of wound on days 10–15 (skin after the crust has fallen off). The sunken skin will soon recover.
• View of the wound on days 25–35 (the color of the removal site stands out against the background of the rest of the skin, but in the future it takes on the color of the surrounding tissues).

Benefits not related to removal technique

• Honest prices.
  No hidden fees or intrusive services. Either consultation or removal is paid, strictly according to the price list. You can always check the price with me on VKontakte by sending a photo with a ruler in the background.
• Free information support before and after surgery.
  If you have any doubts before your visit, you can easily and free of charge by mail or VKontakte. After the operation, you will have my personal phone number, by which you can ask me at any time about what is bothering you.
• Fast and convenient.
  Removal is carried out within a few minutes, in one visit.
• Online appointment booking and removal without calls or waiting
• No preliminary tests, dressings, or suture removal required
• Histology results by email

The result of radio wave treatment

Literally immediately after removal of erosion and other formations using radiosurgery, a fibrin film consisting of thin fibers forms on the surface of the operated area. Thanks to this natural membrane, wound healing occurs very quickly.

However, spotting may occur for a period of time (usually up to a week). This is due to the fact that after treatment with radio waves, small blood vessels that were coagulated during surgery may rupture again and blood oozes from them. If there is no heavy bleeding, no increase in temperature, no unpleasant odor or pus, then you can ignore such phenomena.

Removal of cervical erosion using radio wave surgery is a one-time procedure. However, sometimes after this it is necessary to undergo treatment for the cause that caused the occurrence of this disease. We are talking, in particular, about hormonal imbalances, decreased immunity, and dysbiosis. The doctor can also choose suitable contraceptives.

Polyposis can be recurrent, that is, repeated. In most cases, a one-time procedure for radio wave removal of overgrown tissue is sufficient, but if polyps grow again and again, a cone-shaped excision of the cervix (conization) is indicated, which can also be performed using radio waves.

The human papillomavirus, once it enters the body, will exist there constantly, just like the herpes virus. This is the reason that condylomas (papillomas) cannot be permanently removed every time. Nevertheless, the vast majority of women still get rid of this problem for life with the help of radio wave surgery.

Complications after manipulations to remove erosion, papillomas, and polyps occur extremely rarely and mainly for reasons depending on the patients themselves. Failure to comply with medical recommendations and careless attitude towards one’s health are the reasons why radio wave treatment does not give the desired effect. And this is not the doctors’ fault. If the procedure is performed by an experienced, knowledgeable surgeon, and the equipment for treatment with radio waves is of European class, then there should be no complications.

Contraindications

Like any method of surgical treatment, removal of papillomas with radio waves has several contraindications, including:

• Herpes is in the acute stage.
• The period of bearing a child or breastfeeding.
• Hypertensive crisis.
• Heat.
• Period of menstruation.
• Various purulent-inflammatory foci on the skin.
• Cold period.
• Exacerbation of various chronic pathologies.

• Presence of built-in implants and pacemaker.
• Glaucoma.
• Diabetes.
• Mental illnesses.
• Epilepsy.

Most contraindications are temporary. After the patient’s condition has normalized, the doctor can easily remove papillomas using the radio wave method.

Summary:

I can confidently recommend the radio wave method for removing papillomas. It allows you to do this in 1 visit, almost painlessly and with excellent cosmetic results.

General characteristics of radio wave surgery

Radio wave surgery is one of the methods used in medical practice. It is based on the interaction of electromagnetic waves and cells of the human body. With radio wave intervention, there is no blood loss or infection, and the rehabilitation period is reduced to a minimum (compared to the surgical method). How is this possible?

Manipulations are performed using a radio knife. It affects the skin with high-frequency electromagnetic waves (3.8 MHz). As soon as the wave reaches the cell, intracellular and extracellular fluid begins to evaporate.

The process takes place in absolutely all cells to which the radioknife is directed. Evaporation leads to cell death, and hence the removal of the formation. There is no direct contact between the instrument and the skin. Destruction occurs at the cellular level, which ensures safety, relative painlessness and effectiveness of the procedure.

The doctor independently controls the depth and area of ​​exposure, which is especially important when removing papillomas from open areas of the body.

Radio wave intervention is contraindicated in case of malignant processes in the body.

Additionally, doctors identify several conditions that can affect the outcome of the operation:

• pregnancy and lactation;
• active form of chronic diseases;
• wearing a pacemaker;
• menstruation in women.

The feasibility of removal is determined by the doctor.

Complications and side effects after the intervention are rare. They are possible only in two cases - the incompetence of the doctor or the lack of proper care for the wound on the part of the patient. The advantages of the radio wave method outweigh the possible risks and disadvantages; the main thing is to find a qualified doctor and take a responsible approach to the therapeutic course.

Basic principles of the method

Radio wave excision is the excision of skin growths using special radiosurgical devices. The most commonly used devices are Surgitron and ATMOS RS. Removal occurs when the affected skin areas are safely exposed to high-frequency radio waves. The amplitude of the oscillations is in the range from 2.4 to 4 MHz.

The painlessness of the procedure is due to the absence of contact of the electrode with healthy areas of the skin. Consequently, there is no stimulation of nerve endings. Radio waves precisely affect the affected cells, which prevents the risk of further spread of viral cells through the blood.

As a result of exposure, the papilloma heats up and its base evaporates. This process is called thermal resistance.

Often, a device with an electrode is called an electric knife. Lack of contact with the epidermis and instant cauterization minimizes the risk of wound infection.

Advantages and disadvantages

Removing papillomas in this way has its pros and cons. Despite the existence of other ways to get rid of this defect, Surgitron is quite popular. The reason for success lies in the following advantages:

• No bleeding from the wound. High-frequency waves “seal” the vessels when getting rid of the growth, and pathogenic bacteria cannot enter the wound.
• Minimum size of skin damage during surgery. The radio knife allows the doctor to make minute incisions of papillomas. This allows the skin to heal faster.
• Possibility of removing papillomatosis (a group of papillomas).
• Painless. The procedure is carried out after applying an anesthetic.
• No scars or scars. The incisions are made very small, so after healing there are no marks left.
• Low probability of injury to the tissue around the papilloma. The procedure is so safe that it is the only one used to remove growths from the skin around the eyes.

Of the shortcomings, only two points stand out. They are :

• sometimes a painkiller injection is necessary;
• high cost of the procedure.

The advantages of the method outweigh its disadvantages. This explains the high demand for manipulation.

Skin tumors are not only a cosmetic defect, they can pose a danger to human health. Timely diagnosis and treatment of these diseases allows you to avoid further development of the disease, as well as eliminate the risk of malignant tumors.

When using some treatment and massage techniques, often benign formations such as lipomas, atheromas, hygromas, hemangiomas, papillomas, superficial vascular lesions of the skin and other skin diseases do not allow this treatment to be carried out in full or are a contraindication.

The clinic uses radio wave removal of warts, papillomas, atheromas, lipomas and other tumors as an effective technique that allows for histological analysis of the removed formation.

At the first appointment, the doctor makes a diagnosis and decides on the possibility of removing the skin tumor. In some cases, an oncologist is consulted before surgery.

Indications for this method

• Vulgar and plantar warts,
• Papillomas,
• Nevi,
• Dermatofibromas, acrochords,
• Molluscum contagiosum,
• milia,
• Hemangiomas,
• Other skin neoplasms.

Removal of skin tumors is carried out simultaneously. The duration of the procedure is 10-20 minutes. This depends on the size and number of tumors. Local anesthesia is first performed (applying anesthetic cream, aerosol irrigation or injection into the base of the formation).

The ease of transmission of radio waves through tissue allows you to make incisions of any configuration and a given depth, achieve very high precision of exposure, and the ability to act on any area of ​​the skin and mucous membranes where it is unacceptable to work with other methods. In addition, unlike other methods of treating warts, a scab does not form at the site where the high-frequency electrode is applied to the tissue, so the doctor can visually control the quality of the incision, which is important for achieving a good cosmetic effect and, in particular, healing without scars.

The main advantages of using the radio wave removal method include:

• speed of treatment,
• gentle incision and no bleeding,
• minimal destruction of underlying tissues,
• faster healing of wounds,
• virtual absence of complications,
• scarless wound healing,
• excellent cosmetic effect.

Recommendations before the procedure

No special preparation is required for the procedure. However, it is not recommended to remove warts, papillomas and moles during menstruation.

Recommendations after the procedure

During the healing period, contact with water must be avoided. The crust formed after the removal of warts, moles, papillomas, etc. disappears on its own after 7 days.

After removal of the nevus, a histological examination of the element is required to clarify the histological diagnosis.
