CHEMICAL CAUTERY
Targeted Solution for Skin Lesions
At Signature Skin, Dr. Shantanu Choudhary and Dr. Swati Mogra perform Chemical Cautery, a specialized procedure that precisely removes skin lesions such as warts, skin tags, and certain moles.
Understanding Chemical Cautery
Chemical Cautery is a dermatological procedure that involves the application of a caustic substance to targeted skin lesions, such as warts, skin tags, and certain types of moles. This procedure selectively destroys the lesion while promoting minimal damage to surrounding healthy skin.

Anyone with warts, skin tags, or select moles who wants a targeted, minimally invasive removal method with little to no downtime.
Our Approach to Chemical Cautery
Detailed Lesion Assessment: Thorough examination to identify and evaluate specific skin lesions, determining the appropriate chemical solution.
Precise Application Technique: Applying the caustic substance with precision to the targeted lesion for effective removal.
Minimally Invasive Procedure: Performing Chemical Cautery with minimal discomfort and typically requiring little to no downtime.

What Sets Our Chemical Cautery Apart
Lesion-Matched Solution: The chemical agent and application are selected based on the specific lesion type for the best outcome.
Surrounding-Skin Protection: Precise application technique is used specifically to minimize damage to healthy skin around the lesion.
Minimal-Downtime Design: The procedure is chosen for patients who want effective removal without significant recovery time.
