Cautery Experience – Best Way To Remove Freckles

Hi Everyone! This article will share my Cautery Experience – Best Way To Remove Freckles.

Before starting, I want to share that I am not from medical background and I am just sharing my experience with cautery. I was having some small brown spots on my face. So, I visited a dermatologist and he told me that these are called freckles. He advised me to go for cautery for those freckles which are on a superficial level and for those which lie deep into the skin, he suggested to go for laser therapy. So, I went ahead for my first sitting with cautery treatment.

Cautery Experience – Best Way To Remove Freckles

Freckles are small spots on the skin that are harmless and are the result of an overproduction of melanin – a pigment that gives your hair, skin and eyes its color. The doctor told me that sun exposure and genetics are the primary causes of the freckles. In my case, genetics is the cause as my mother is also having freckles.

Before going further, let me tell you what is cautery. I am sharing the information that I have got from the doctor and I don’t really know the medical terms. I hope you can understand.

Cautery is the procedure of heating tissue with electricity and is used to remove unwanted tissue. It is a safe procedure to remove freckles.

My Experience with Cautery – Best Way To Remove Freckles

The doctor first applied the numbing cream on my face. He then pasted some tapes over it just to lock the cream and let it sit for 35-40 minutes.

After waiting for about half an hour, he removed the tapes and cleaned my face with cotton to remove excess cream. My whole face got numb and I couldn’t feel anything. Then, he started with the procedure. I could feel that some current was used to remove the freckles. I could also feel the heating effect that the current was producing and could sniff that burning smell. However, the procedure was not at all painful. All thanks to the numbing cream!! The doctor hardly took 10-15 minutes to remove the freckles from my face.

The assistant then applied some sunscreen on my face and also gave a skin ointment to apply on the treated area twice a day for the next 4-5 days. However, when I saw myself in the mirror, I got scared to see the tiny bumps on my skin where the procedure was done. But the doctor assured me that these bumps would settle down within 3-4 hours and it really happened. After one day, a crust was formed on the treated area and it automatically shed off in the next 2-3 days. All you need is a week’s time to get the clean and clear skin. I am so happy now to see my clean face without freckles and would go for the next sitting where he would be doing laser treatment for those freckles that lie deep into my skin.

This was my cautery experience which I feel is the best way to remove freckles. So, if you are having a similar problem then, you should definitely visit a dermatologist and can go for this treatment easily.
