Radiofrequency/Electrocautery Ablation
Radiofrequency/electrocautery micro-lesion removal can be considered for superficial, numerous, or scattered milia when conservative care (gentle cleansing, etc.) has limited effect. The decision is based on a comprehensive assessment of the depth and density of the lesions, location and skin type,

How Radiofrequency/Electrocautery Ablation is performed
Radiofrequency/electrocautery uses high-frequency electrical energy to generate a thermal effect at the point of contact. Topical or local anesthesia can be selected; appropriate protection will be taken when located around the eyes. The common practice is to gently touch the surface of the lesion with a small electrode, open the cyst mouth and coagulate to stop bleeding, squeeze out the keratin contents if necessary, and then cover with dressing and repair cream. Postoperatively, pay attention to erythema, scabbing, and pigment changes, with the goal of removing the lesion with controllable thermal effects and promoting epidermal healing. The above is general health information and not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
