Moles and warts are small skin formations that can appear all over our body at any age. Sometimes it is advisable to remove them for hygiene reasons, since warts and moles can cause problems during shaving or hair removal.
In other cases, warts and moles can cause self-consciousness in their wearers, who constantly suffer when they have to expose their face or some part of their body. When we remove warts and moles for aesthetic reasons, we contribute to eliminating a complex for the patient, who immediately notices an improvement in their self-esteem and psychological well-being.
How are warts and moles removed?
At the Magnasalud Clinic we remove warts and moles using radiofrequency waves. The procedure is very simple and basically consists of “scratching” the tissue we want to remove with a needle-like tip that applies heat. If the area to be treated is very sensitive or the patient has a low tolerance for pain, local anesthesia is used for discomfort. At the end of the procedure, cream to improve healing is applied and the area is covered with bandages or plasters.
Most moles and warts are removed in a time that usually ranges from 30 to 60 minutes.

Recommendations after treatment
After this treatment, the patient can return to his or her normal routine. The only recommendation is to keep the bandage dry for 24 hours.
Contraindications
Moles that, due to their appearance, could be considered a melanoma (at any stage) will not be treated. Instead, a biopsy will be recommended to rule out the presence of cancer cells. Very flat moles cannot be removed either.
