Ellman Surgitron® – before and after
How are the moles removed?
Usng the Ellman Surgitron unwanted protruding moles, skin tags and scaly lesions are able to be removed by a simple and delicate radiofrequency shave procedure by our experienced Cosmetic Doctor. Your mole or skin lesion will first be checked by our Doctor. Any lesions of concern will be sent to the laboratory for testing.
Flat, dark moles require excision. Irregular moles that are suspicious for melanoma are excised and sent for testing. Some very dark raised moles although benign or harmless may leave pigmentation and sometimes excision will be discussed as an option. Some skin lesions will also require excision, this and all options for treatment will be fully discussed with you prior to treatment.

What is the Ellman Surgitron?
The Ellman Surgitron made in the USA uses Radiofrequency surgery to successfully remove benign lumps and bumps with usually virtually no scarring. Lesions are simply vaporised away. Excellent for raised moles, skin tags, sunspots, warts, some skin cancers and visible facial veins.
All procedures are carried out under a local anaesthetic. Removal of the benign lesion leaves a flat raw area that heals over 7-10 days. Radiofrequency surgery uses radio-waves, transmitted from a small electrode, to gradually vaporise the raised lesion.
Radiofrequency surgery (with the Elman Surgitron) is minimally invasive, usually requires no stitches and results in little or no scarring. Healed skin may have a darker or lighter colour initially. This will normally fade to normal skin tone over time.
Where necessary skin lesions can be biopsied or removed and sent for Laboratory testing.
Consult the Vital Face and Vein Clinic to see if radiofrequency surgery with the Surgitron is suitable for you.
