Quick, Effective Removal for Minor Skin Concerns
Dermal Cautery Procedures
in Glenview, IL
What Are Cautery Procedures?
Cautery procedures involve using heat to remove or treat small areas of tissue on the skin. At On the Spot Dermatology, we use this technique to precisely address unwanted or problematic skin growths with minimal discomfort and recovery time. The procedure is often used for benign lesions, small blood vessels, or areas where bleeding needs to be controlled.
Cautery offers a safe, in-office solution for patients looking to treat minor concerns quickly — and get back to their day with minimal interruption.
Cautery Procedures FAQ
What Does It Treat?
- Skin tags
- Small angiomas (cherry/red spots)
- Benign growths
- Sebaceous hyperplasia
- Bleeding control during minor procedures
What to Expect During Treatment
- Prep – We’ll clean the area and may use a numbing agent to keep you comfortable.
- Application – A cautery tool applies controlled heat to the skin, carefully treating the targeted area.
- Aftercare – You’ll receive post-care guidance, and the treated area may scab or crust as it heals.
The treatment is typically brief and well-tolerated, with results visible in days to weeks as the skin renews.
Aftercare & Recovery
- Expect mild redness, scabbing, or crusting at the site.
- Avoid touching or picking at the area.
- Keep skin clean and protected until fully healed.
- Most patients resume normal activities immediately.
Healing typically occurs within 1–2 weeks with little to no visible scarring.
