radiosurgery
Unlike traditional surgery, radiosurgery does not involve surgical incisions or the removal of tissue. Instead, it relies on the precise delivery of radiation to destroy or shrink the targeted abnormal tissue.
moles
Radiosurgery is known for its precision, which can result in minimal scarring and excellent cosmetic outcomes. This is especially important for moles in visible or sensitive areas.
* Please note Dr. Vafa will evaluate each patient and if deemed necessary will biopsy any suspicious lesions and send for pathological examination.
skin tags
Radiosurgery is a suitable option for removing skin tags that are bothersome, causing discomfort, or are in cosmetically sensitive areas. Skin tags are typically harmless but can be removed if they are irritated, catching on clothing, or for cosmetic reasons.
warts
This treatment is a staff favorite. Perfect for for an event or wedding. Many patients report improved muscle definition and increased arm strength shortly after completing their recommended Emsculpt Neo sessions. The results may continue to improve over several weeks as the muscles adapt and strengthen. Maintenance sessions may be advised to maintain the effects.
get rid of unwanted moles, warts, skin tags + more
Dr. Vafa in Soho, NYC specializes in scar-free mole removal using state-of-the-art Radiosurgery technology. If you're looking for a safe, effective, and non-invasive solution to get rid of lesions (including moles, warts, skin tags, papules and more) while leaving no visible scars, you're in the right place.
why choose radiosurgery?
Radiosurgery is a cutting-edge technique that uses high-frequency radio waves to precisely and gently remove moles and other skin lesions. It offers several advantages over traditional surgical methods, including:
1. scar-free results
Radiosurgery minimizes tissue damage, leaving little to no scarring, which is especially important for highly visible areas like the face.
2. minimal discomfort
Patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, and only require local anesthesia.
3. quick recovery
With Radiosurgery, recovery time is shorter compared to traditional excision methods because the area is cauterized immediately.
4. precision
Dr. Vafa's expertise, combined with Radiosurgery's precise nature, ensures that moles are removed with utmost accuracy, reducing the risk of regrowth, and eliminating the possibility of damage to the surrounding tissue.
The lesion/mole is first prepped with isopropyl alcohol, injected with a small amount of lidocaine 2% (anesthetic), and then painlessly removed using a radio-surgery electrode*. During the procedure, the treated area is cauterized as the lesion is being removed. This means that the treated area is free of bleeding and therefore ready to be prepped with a triple antibiotic ointment and a band-aid immediately afterwards.
* Please note Dr. Vafa will evaluate each patient and if deemed necessary will biopsy any suspicious lesions and send for pathological examination.
While there is no "downtime" patients will need to keep the area bandaged, dry, and clean for 7+ days as the area heals. This is done by applting ointment and a fresh bandage as needed
Depending on the size and location of the lesion, it can take 7-20 days for the area to fully heal. Sometimes the area can become darker before fading away, but again, it depends on many factors.

the science behind radiosurgery
Radiosurgery is a technology used to treat a variety of soft tissue conditions, from the skin to deeper tissues. He uses the latest technology to ensure safe and effective removal of moles, warts and skin lesions. Instead of using a scalpel, radio waves do the cutting.
Radiosurgery technology is somewhat similar to laser or electro-surgery, but it uses a different part of the electromagnetic spectrum than either. Instead of using light waves (like laser), and instead of using high-temperature, low-frequency waves (such as with electro-surgery), radiosurgery uses low-temperature, high-energy waves in the radio bandwidth.
The low-temperature waves used by radiosurgery means that tissues are not burned like they are with electro-surgery. Radiosurgery high energy waves penetrate much less deeply into peripheral tissue (0.02 mm) than CO2 laser (0.5 mm), Holmium laser (0.05 mm), or electro surgery (1.0 mm) units. The benefit to patients is that there is substantially less peripheral tissue destruction (by a factor of 25x compared to laser and by a factor of 50x compared to electro surgery). Less peripheral damage to tissues means much greater precision and significantly faster healing times. Simply put, radiosurgery is an extremely precise way to perform surgery, creating much less trauma to surrounding tissues than other technologies. We use the latest technology to ensure safe and effective removal of moles, warts and skin lesions. Radiosurgery effectively removes lesions present on any part of your body. Dr. Vafa has been using the Radio-Wave Surgery method for lesion removal for over 16 years.
