A hyfrecator is a device that utilises low-powered, high-frequency electrical current to quickly and effectively remove skin tags and other skin lesions. This technology has been used for decades and is considered extremely safe. During a skin tag removal treatment, the hyfrecator probe emits an alternating current. The current heats the small area of skin which has been selected for treatment, to a temperature that destroys the tissue almost instantly. The hyfrecator’s precision enables a swift removal of skin tags, with minimal damage to the surrounding skin tissues, simultaneously removing skin tags by separating them from the surrounding skin whilst cauterising the area minimising any bleeding. The hyfrecator can be performed in an outpatient setting and is considered one of the safest and most efficient treatments, for the permanent removal of skin tags.
