Electrocautery is a process in which dermatologist uses electricity to remove unwanted skin growth. It is a form of direct transference of heat. In the process, electricity does not pass through skin growth or tissue or does not enter into the body. Low voltage, high amperage or alternating current is used to heat a handheld element or wire which is called as an electrode. This element works on the tissue. Usage of Electrocautery leads to the destruction of tumor cells. However, results may vary on how much bigger is growth or others.
