The radio knife allows you to remove tumors on the skin and other parts of the body, both inside and outside. To date, such a procedure has become very popular.
All action takes place quickly and without any special unpleasant sensations. The radio-knife can remove both small growths in the form of moles, and eliminate gynecological problems.
Indications for the use of a radio-knife
The main indications for the use of a radio-knife are in any neoplasms on the skin. Basically, this device specializes in the removal of moles, warts, papillomas, genital warts and seborrheic keratosis.
But this is not the whole list. In fact, the radio-knife is widely used in gynecology. It is used to remove cervical erosion. This is done exclusively in the direction of the doctor.
To date, other areas of application of this tool are being considered. But basically it is widely used in dermatology and gynecology. Initially, the radio-knife was designed to remove small tumors, such as moles and papillomas. Over time, the spectrum of its action has significantly expanded. This technique allows not only to quickly cope with the problem, but also to prevent complications in the future. Moreover, a useful advantage of the present invention is the possibility of rapid recovery. That is why the radio-knife is widely used in gynecology.
Radio knife or laser? What's better?
Since recently, the same question constantly arises, that it is better to choose a radio knife or a laser. In fact, it is difficult to choose an immediate favorite, these two methods are good each in its own way.
Laser
This is the safest, bloodless and effective method to remove cutaneous neoplasms. Due to the special diameter and the specific depth of impact, the laser works exactly, and the surrounding tissues are damaged minimally. This is especially important when removing moles on the face. Contact of surgical items with skin is absent. When using a laser, thrombosis of the smallest vessels occurs. This completely prevents possible metastasis, and on the whole excludes any blood loss. Together with the removal, the healing process takes place. At the site of the "operation" a crust is formed, which protects the wound from the effects of infections and prevents the formation of scars. Recovery period is short. If a small tumor is removed, then there are no traces left.
Radiocap
The mechanism of operation of this apparatus consists in the emission of high-frequency radio waves. The fabric exerts total resistance to them and releases heat. Under the influence of these factors, the build-up is destroyed. Burns are completely excluded! Purulent and hemorrhagic complications are not observed. Recovery is fast. The value of this procedure lies in the possibility of obtaining material for histological examination. The radio knife and laser are two good procedures, and which one to choose, the person decides on his own.
Removing the moles with a radio knife
Removal of moles by a radio knife is quick and effective. A special device allows you to make everything painless and guarantees the absence of side effects in the future.
Special operation does not require an operation. It is performed under local anesthesia and takes very little time. Starting from the size of the "problem", the desired shape and frequency of the wave are selected, which will affect the birthmark. This operation is very precise and efficient. In the process of work a cut is performed, the blood stops, and disinfection is carried out. All these actions are performed by the radio-knife itself. That is why removal is considered safe and effective.
After the procedure, the crust remains in place. She should not be drunk 4-5 days in any case. It creates a so-called protective layer. After falling off the crust will leave a delicate pink skin, which should be protected from the effects of sunlight. This is especially important in the summer. A radio knife is really a unique and quick way to eliminate unpleasant formations on the skin.
Removal of papillomas by radio knife
Removal of papillomas by a radio-knife in the same way as in the fight against birth marks. Before the procedure, preparation is not required. So, a person simply enough to agree on the day of surgery and appear in the clinic for removal of papillomas.
The radio knife works quickly and efficiently. Thanks to the unique technology of radio waves, it causes the skin to warm up and under this "heat" an incision is made. The device itself makes disinfection, stops blood and completely eliminates the papilloma, while not capturing the surrounding tissue.
The operation is quick and has no complications. Naturally, if a person does not follow certain rules, problems can still arise. At the place of interaction between the skin and the appliance, a crust appears, which temporarily covers the protective layer. It can not be ripped off, it can lead to infection. After falling off the crust, the skin needs special care. The main thing is to avoid direct sunlight. The radio knife copes with the problem quickly and effectively.
Radio-knife in gynecology
The radio-knife in gynecology has become widespread. Initially, this device removed extremely small growths on the skin. Over time, its functions have been studied thoroughly and applied in other areas. To date, it is widely used in gynecology and dermatology.
The method of operation of the device consists in influencing the problematic section of radio waves. This removal technique completely eliminates the disadvantages of electrosurgical action.
As a result of using the radio-knife, the variants of the development of endometriosis are completely excluded. At the same time, the terms of epithelization have almost halved. Moreover, conditions were created for obtaining a good material in order to confirm the diagnosis. Well, the invariable plus is that the need for pain medication has been significantly reduced. To date, we can say with full confidence that it is the radio knife that is the most effective, painless and safe way to eliminate any problems, including gynecological problems.
Treatment of erosion by radio knife
Treatment of erosion with a radio knife is performed and, moreover, very successfully. The affected area is susceptible to radio waves. Thanks to the allocated heat, an incision is made and a complete cutting out of the problem zone is made.
This technique makes it possible to adjust the depth of the cut, if this is an urgent need. In addition, there is no thermal burn. This is a unique device that makes an incision with the help of radio waves and high temperature, but it does not have a negative effect on the skin.
The current operation is characterized by its rapid. After this procedure, the microflora of the vagina is restored quite quickly. This can not be guaranteed by any other way of eliminating the problem. The complete healing period is 4 weeks. In some cases anesthesia is used during the operation. Radio-knife is really an effective tool, which managed to show itself from all positive aspects.
Radio-knife with cervical erosion
The radio-knife with erosion of the cervix has become widespread. The affected area is completely covered and cut out under the influence of radio waves and the heat emitted by the skin. In this case, do not worry about the burn, it simply will not be. This is a unique technique that really can do the impossible.
During the operation, if necessary, the depth of cut can be adjusted. This is an invariable plus. After all, during the operation, some "interesting" moments can be found. During the procedure, anesthesia is not used. But if there is such a need, then it is used.
The radio knife not only effectively removes the affected area, but also allows the vaginal microflora to recover in a short time. Full recovery is achieved in a month. Practically no other method will give such guarantees. Radio-knife is a modern device, it immediately performs several functions and guarantees the quality of work, without any complications.
Contraindications to the use of a radio-knife
Contraindications to the use of radio-knife, of course, there are. So, you can not use it when malignant skin lesions. People with chronic inflammatory diseases of the skin, also do not use this method of removing tumors. This can increase the risk of serious consequences.
If the body has heart rate sensors, it is also not necessary to use a radio knife. The fact is that his work is based on the allocation of special frequencies, which can introduce unfavorable adjustments to the functionality of those same sensors.
During pregnancy and during lactation, this is also prohibited. Because the impact on the body of the mother and child in this case was not investigated. And finally, it is extremely undesirable to apply this method of eliminating tumors to people with viral skin lesions. In this case, we mean herpes. If a person does not have any violations and "phenomena" mentioned above, the radio-knife can be safely used.
Complications of procedures on the radio
The complications of procedures on the radio knife will not be overtaken by a person if he behaves correctly. So, after removing moles or papillomas, you need to monitor the crust that formed on top of the wound. She should not be ripped off in any case. It creates a protective layer and prevents infection from getting into the wound. After she disappears, it is necessary to lubricate the place with special creams that will not allow UV rays to affect this place.
If there was a gynecological procedure, then here too there is a list of prohibitions. So, within a month it's worth to refrain from sexual life. You can not use tampons. Do not drink alcohol, they are able to dilate blood vessels and increase blood pressure. Thus, violations in the healing process are possible. Do not lift heavy objects. Moreover, you need to refrain from taking a hot bath. This can lead to an inflammatory process. If the person will follow all the instructions, then the procedure for removing the problem area, made by the radio-knife instrument, will not bring any complications.
Reviews about radio foot
Reviews about the radio knife are both positive and negative. There is still no such device or product that would suit everyone. Naturally, many devices are universal, but, in spite of this, when they did not help, they were observed.
Speaking specifically about the radio foot, there are more positive reviews than negative ones. Indeed, the procedure is carried out quickly, there are no painful sensations. Moreover, the radioknife immediately conducts several actions. He makes an incision, stops blood and disinfects the site of exposure. None of the existing instruments is capable of such a thing. Moreover, the operation is carried out quickly, efficiently and in the future there are no complications. This is why the device has earned more positive feedback.
There are also negative statements. But these are rather isolated cases. You can not do without them. To build a certain idea of the device on some reviews is stupid. After all, the human body is individual and it is exactly what a radio-knife will help or not, it is not always so simple.
The price of procedures on the radio foot
The price of procedures on the radio frequency varies depending on where it is produced and what area is affected. So, the fastest and relatively cheap way is to eliminate the birthmark.
It is difficult to say unequivocally how much will be worth the procedure. In Russia, such an intervention can cost 8,000 rubles. But this applies to gynecological intervention. If you remove a birthmark or papilloma, the price will have to be clarified. On average, this is 5 thousand rubles, which is much less.
If you take into account the prices in Ukraine, then this procedure will cost 1500-2000 thousand hryvnia. Again, much depends on where the clinic is located, what it specializes in and what level of training the doctors themselves have. To hope that the procedure will cost a symbolic amount is not worth it. This is the newest device, which perfectly fights with any dermatological and gynecological problems. Radio-knife is a device of the present, on which high hopes are assigned.
