Before you decide

Is it right for you?

We tell you frankly when this treatment is a good option and when we'd rather assess you first.

Ideal if…

  • Warts, milia or skin tags bother you
  • You have benign moles that get irritated when they rub against clothing
  • You have xanthelasma or sun spots (solar lentigines)
  • You want lesions removed after a medical check first

We assess you first if…

  • A mole has changed color, shape or size: it needs to be examined first
  • There is an active infection in the area
  • You tend to form keloids: we assess that first

Before you decide

The questions we hear most, answered straight.

Does it hurt?
Depending on the lesion, we use local or topical anesthesia, so any discomfort is brief.
How many days does recovery take?
A small scab forms and usually falls off within one to two weeks. You can go on with your routine that same day.

How we do it at Quantum

A medical protocol, not a catalog

Every plan starts with a consultation: we listen to what you want to achieve, review your medical history and decide whether this treatment is right for you.

  1. 01

    Medical consultation

    Before any treatment is applied, we review your case and explain what is possible and what isn't.

  2. 02

    D10 Facial Scanner

    Everything starts with a consultation, not a catalog: we analyze your skin and scalp before recommending any treatment.

  3. 03

    Follow-up visit

    We review the result with you and adjust the plan if needed.

What it is and how it works

Cauterization

Electrosurgery turns energy into highly localized heat, which allows the lesion to be removed precisely. It leaves a small scab that falls off within days.

  • 01Lesion checked first
  • 02Short session
  • 03Several lesions at once
  • 04Easy recovery

Your session

Step by step

Here's how your treatment goes, from the consultation to the follow-up visit.

  1. 01

    Lesion check

    We examine each lesion to confirm it's benign. If anything looks suspicious, we refer it for testing before doing any procedure.

    Medical consultation before starting

  2. 02

    Cauterization with controlled heat

    After applying anesthesia, we remove the lesions one by one with controlled heat.

    15 to 45 min

  3. 03

    Healing and follow-up

    We show you how to care for the scabs and check that your skin heals properly.

Safety and natural results

Less is more

We want you to look like yourself, at your best. These are the criteria we follow in every session.

Original products registered with INVIMA

  • 01

    Anything suspicious is not cauterized

    If a mole shows atypical features, instead of removing it, we refer it for testing.

  • 02

    Anesthesia suited to the lesion

    We use local or topical anesthesia so the procedure is tolerable.

  • 03

    Expectations about marks

    Before the procedure, we explain that a change in color or a faint mark may remain.

Does it hurt?

Depending on the lesion, we use local or topical anesthesia, so any discomfort is brief.

A change in skin tone or a faint mark may remain, depending on the lesion, the area and your skin type. Protecting yourself from the sun helps make it less noticeable.

No. We check each mole first, and if it shows suspicious features, we refer it for testing before doing any procedure.

Can warts come back?

Yes. Some are caused by a virus and can reappear; if that happens, we check them again.
