Surgitron Surgery Auckland NZ

At Palm Clinic, Auckland we offer the leading non-surgical treatments for a range of skin and vein conditions. When it comes to removing skin irregularities for cosmetic reasons, we recommend Surgitron cosmetic radiosurgery.

Unlike traditional surgery, which cuts into the skin to remove the growth, Surgitron is a device that precisely targets the growth itself, and emits high frequency radio waves that effectively ‘shave’ the growth from the skin’s surface. This gentler approach to mole removal means there is minimal or no bruising, swelling or scarring, and no need for stitches or downtime.

Previously, benign lesions removed for cosmetic reasons on the face were removed by surgical excision leaving a linear scar.

Surgitron removes a range of skin irregularities safely and effectively:

• Growths including moles, skin tags, seborrhoeic keratosis (benign skin growths), and other raised skin lesions
• Sun spots
• It is particularly useful for facial growths and spots as there is no scarring and the healing period is short
• Skin tags on the armpits, breasts and neck
• Brown spots, solar keratoses and other growths on the hands
• Pearly penile papules
• Surgitron is a good alternative treatment for facial veins for those who are not suitable for laser treatment

Also referred to as Ellman Surgitron, this cutting edge device is less invasive than a surgical procedure and has the following benefits:

• Minimal risk of scarring as the removal occurs at a very superficial skin level
• Minimal damage to the surrounding skin
• No bleeding
• Minimal pain, if any
• Minimal use of local anaesthetic
• Faster healing process

After undergoing this treatment option, the skin is left with a raw non-bleeding surface no bigger than the original skin lesion. The raw area then forms a scab, and 7-10 days later there is a fresh, healthy layer of new skin that blends into surrounding skin over time.
