Radiofrequency Ablation in Chennai
Precise removal of skin tags, moles, warts and DPN with RF cautery — at Halos Aminjikarai.
Overview
Clean, precise lesion removal
Radiofrequency (RF) ablation is a highly precise medical technique that uses high-frequency radio waves to remove unwanted skin growths — skin tags, moles, warts, DPN and small cysts. At HALOS in Aminjikarai, Chennai, we use RF ablation for its clean cuts, minimal bleeding and faster healing than traditional cautery.
The device cuts and coagulates simultaneously, sealing tiny blood vessels as it works — which means less scarring, faster recovery and minimal risk of infection.
