The use of the Surgitron device is a method of radiosurgery, thanks to which it is possible to remove condylomas, moles, papillomas and warts.
After treatment there are no scars left, and treatment occurs in a short time and without pain. Reviews about Surgitron are positive. The device does not cause inflammation or suppuration of wounds.
How the device works
The emission of high-frequency radio waves is the basis of the operation of the Surgitron device. Organic tissue is affected. An incision in the required area of the mucous membrane or skin is made as a result of the fact that a beam of waves activates the movement of liquid molecules at the cellular level.
Severe bleeding can be avoided due to the fact that the vessels remain intact. After using the radioknife, a fibrin film appears, which quickly disappears, leaving a small scar. Over the course of several minutes, a beam of radio waves accumulates in the device, which then affects the desired area on the skin.
Electrodes are conductors of wave energy. Outwardly they look like a small wire. Their combination is selected individually, as it depends on the purpose of the procedure and the type of manipulation.
Among the electrodes there are:
- radio wave scalpel;
- ball waveguide;
- triangular waveguide;
- round waveguide.
The first type of electrodes is used for tissue dissection. It is also used to stop capillary bleeding. The second type helps treat postoperative wounds and is often used in laparoscopic operations. A triangular waveguide is prescribed occasionally.
It is mainly used to remove papillomas or warts in hard-to-reach areas. The round waveguide helps remove condylomas, warts and moles.
The procedure for removing a mole using radio waves
Radio wave removal of moles is that thanks to the Surgitron device, only pathologically altered cells are destroyed under the influence of high-frequency waves, and nearby tissues are not subject to a destructive effect. With this type of intervention there is less bleeding than with other operations. That is why after excision of a mole with a radio knife, postoperative complications and swelling do not occur.
Removal with Surgitron does not require special preparation. However, the procedure is not recommended for women during menstruation. Removal of moles using radio waves is carried out in one stage. The manipulation lasts about 15-20 minutes. The duration of the procedure will depend on the number of moles that need to be removed. Before the operation begins, local anesthesia is administered using an injection or anesthetic cream. Then the tungsten thread of the Surgitron apparatus is used to remove the mole in one movement. Surgitron has a gentle effect on tissues located near the nevus, without burning or damaging them. The doctor may send the excised mole to the laboratory for further histological analysis.
Treatment of moles with radio waves is possible on any part of the body. The manipulation is carried out on an outpatient basis, wounds heal quickly. As a result, the patient receives a satisfactory cosmetic effect.
Advantages and disadvantages
The device has certain pros and cons. The benefits include the following:
- almost painless and quick recovery period after the procedure;
- There is no risk of burns among side effects;
- affordable price of the operation;
- if the specialist’s recommendations are followed, then inflammation in the soft tissues is not observed;
- the risk of infection with dangerous bacteria is minimal. This is due to the fact that the radiation from the device is harmful to germs and infections.
This is a fairly safe manipulation that ensures the absence of unpleasant sensations and negative reactions.
Among the disadvantages, there is a small list of restrictions on the procedure . Surgitron cannot be used for the following pathologies:
- epilepsy;
- glaucoma;
- diabetes;
- infectious pathologies.
Such radio wave exposure is not prescribed if the patient is prone to bleeding, with oncology, inflammation, which is in the period of exacerbation.
The essence and advantages of the radio wave method
Removing moles using the radio wave method is considered the most effective and gentle method of excision of neoplasms among all existing ones. Generating thermal energy, high-frequency waves non-contactly cut pathological tissues and promote the evaporation of pigmented cells, leaving a barely noticeable mark at the site of impact. The difference between radio wave coagulation is the absence of physical pressure on the surface layer of the epidermis.
The advantages of radio wave mole removal include:
- The procedure lasts no more than 20 minutes;
- When exposed to radio waves, surrounding healthy tissue is not damaged;
- Painless intervention;
- No bleeding;
- Possibility of conducting histological examination;
- Sterilization of tissues during the procedure;
- Low likelihood of side effects (inflammation, redness, swelling);
- Short rehabilitation period and absence of complications;
- Possibility of excision of a mole anywhere;
- There is no need to care for the wound after the procedure;
- No scars or scars after the intervention.

Patient reviews
My mother decided to have a mole removed. Reviews of mole removal with Surgitron have proven that the procedure is safe and very effective. On the appointed day, the doctor took all the necessary tests. There was no discomfort. The crust fell off after the operation on the second day.
Ivan
My cosmetologist recommended removing papilloma with Surgitron. The patient reviews were good, so I decided to do it. Small papillomas were removed without anesthesia. I didn't experience any unpleasant sensations. After the procedure, you must follow the instructions of the specialist.
Anfisa
I read an article on the Internet about removing warts with Surgitron. At the clinic, I was examined by an oncologist surgeon. After this, surgery was scheduled for the next day. The procedure is usually performed while lying down. The area near the wart was injected with lidocaine. I did not notice any painful or unpleasant sensations. The procedure was completed in less than 5 minutes. On the first day after surgery, I was forbidden to be in the sun or get the wound wet. I treated it with Fukortsin solution. A week later the crust fell off. I am very pleased that I decided to undergo such a procedure.
Timur
Large moles bothered me.
A friend told me about the Surgitron radio wave apparatus. Reviews of its action were positive. Before surgery, a specialist must examine the mole for the presence of cancer. Removal was carried out in a horizontal position. An anesthetic injection of Lidocaine was given. The procedure itself is painless, I didn’t feel anything. In general, a mole is removed in 30 seconds. It was forbidden to be in the sun for a month. The wound should not be wetted or sealed. After 2 days a crust formed and fell off on its own. I recommend this procedure. Irina
Symptoms of atheroma and its health hazards
Atheroma has the appearance of a growth that is benign in origin. At the center of the tumor is a mass of lipids. In some cases, the cyst can grow to the diameter of a chicken egg, although at the beginning it is small and difficult to detect, but then it begins to grow quickly and increase in size.
Growths can be single or multiple. In most cases, they appear as a result of a failure of the hormonal system, increased activity of the sebaceous glands, or human uncleanliness. Formations are often attacked by infections and can rot and become inflamed. This condition is accompanied by an increase in body temperature.
The pathology is manifested by the following symptoms:
- The appearance is round.
- The structure is dense, elastic.
- A cerumen point is visible at the top - the site of blockage of the gland.
- The boundaries are clear.
- The skin around is stretched and does not fold.
- Moves within the area of its growth.
- Location: pubic area, lower legs, chest, forearms, shoulders, face, scalp, back, stomach, neck.
Patients often confuse atheroma with lipoma, a subcutaneous formation whose cavity is filled with fat. But the second type of cyst does not rot, and the contents rarely come out. An accurate diagnosis is made after surgery, when it is possible to study the removed tissue in detail.
See a doctor immediately if the tumor is accompanied by the following symptoms:
- swelling of the skin at the location;
- soreness;
- increased body temperature;
- redness of the bump.
If the suppuration spontaneously opens, a cheesy yellow-white mass with an unpleasant odor appears on the surface.
