“…In many countries, RF continues to be the preferred method and has been used along with electrosurgery. RF ablation procedure has been shown to be quick, bloodless, and leading to good cosmetic outcomes [ 5 , 7 , 14 ].…”

“…It produces hemostasis immediately and can therefore be used in vascular lesions in which coagulation is an important factor. 9 Radiofrequency surgery can be used in full-thickness excisions of nevi, partial-thickness removal of superficial lesions, vascular lesions such as hemangiomas, and pyogenic granuloma. 10 It can be easily combined with other surgical modalities such as cryotherapy in flat warts, small skin tags, seborrheic keratosis, and cherry angiomas 11 or with diode laser to decrease the appearance of wrinkles and improve skin texture.…”

“…The current next travels through an oscillating circuit, which increases its frequency. Finally, it is delivered to the treatment electrode (Chiarello 2003). The current may be applied to the patient either mono-or bi-terminally.…”

“…In 1891, Jacques Arsene d'Arsonval developed the circuitry required for generation of highfrequency electricity. He found that highfrequency currents above 10,000 cycles per second (10,000 hertz) could pass through the body without pain, muscle contraction, or other obvious harm to the body Fewkes et al 1992;Chiarello 2003;Matzle et al 2006;Pollack 2000;Sebben 2000).…”
