Radio Frequency (RF) surgery uses radio waves to treat a number of conditions, including skin tags, warts, seborrhoic keratoses, syringoma and trichoepithelioma; melanocytic naevi, telangectasias and early skin tumors; and scars. RF surgery can also be used for skin resurfacing; depilation; debulking of skin tumors; hair restoration surgery, scalp reduction, scalp lifting and scalp flaps; excision of ingrown toe nails and non-ablative face lifts.
