What Is Electrocautery Lesion Removal?

Electrocautery uses a precisely controlled electrical current to safely burn off benign skin lesions at the surface level. The technique is fast, targeted, and leaves minimal scarring when performed correctly. Most lesions are treated in a single visit, with little to no downtime required afterward.

Because the treatment uses heat to simultaneously remove the lesion and seal the surrounding tissue, there is typically very little bleeding and a low risk of infection — making it one of the most efficient in-office removal methods available.

  • "I’ve seen Dr. Bonato multiple times now for laser (Nouvaderm), Derma PRP, and neurotoxin treatments, and I couldn’t be happier with my results. My skin looks and feels incredible — I’ve genuinely never received so many compliments about how “glowy” and refreshed my complexion is."

    Bonnie S.

  • "I have dealt with TMJ pain for most of my adult life, and heard about Botox injections for my masseters as a treatment option. Dr. Bonato did a thorough consultation with me to make sure I was a candidate and was able to schedule me pretty quickly. It has made all the difference in the world! Dr. Bonato also did a consultation for hair restoration while I was there, and we will be starting my treatment protocol next month. I’m looking forward to those results and those luscious locks!"

    Bernard N.

  • "I had an amazing experience at BonatoMD Aesthetics with Alex. From the moment we started, Alex was incredibly thorough—he took the time to walk me through each step of the process and crafted a treatment plan tailored specifically to my needs. He answered every question I had with patience and clarity, making sure I felt informed and comfortable throughout. On top of that, he was genuinely personable and easy to talk to, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and professional. Highly recommend!"

    Hannah M.

  • "Dr. Bonato is the best! He is caring and knowledgeable, and the array of services available are wonderful! The microneedling is almost painless because Dr. Bonato is careful with the numbing cream. I highly recommend!"

    Granny

  • "I have seen Dr Bonato three times for NouvaDerm procedures. His office is very clean, appealing, and inviting. Dr Bonato explains the procedure in depth, provides excellent care, and ensures after care is understood. I cannot recommend him enough! This procedure really helped my mental health by boosting my self esteem and overall skin appearance. Thank you, Dr B!"
