HPV Treatment with Radiofrequency
A Safe and Effective Method for Genital Warts

What Is Radiofrequency (RF)?

Radiofrequency, also known as radiosurgery, is a modern treatment method that destroys tissue in a controlled way by vaporizing it via radio waves. It can be used safely to destroy genital warts caused by the HPV virus.

While the RF method removes the target tissue with high precision, it causes minimal damage to the surrounding healthy tissue. For this reason, the healing process is fast and the likelihood of scarring is quite low.

How Is Genital Wart Treatment with Radiofrequency Done?

Before the procedure, the extent of the warts and the areas of location are assessed. If the number of lesions is small, local anaesthesia is preferred. If there are widespread and numerous warts, the procedure can be done under general anaesthesia.

The wart tissue is vaporized in a controlled way with a radiofrequency device. Bleeding is minimal during the procedure. The surrounding tissues are protected and the healing process is usually fast.

The Advantages of Radiofrequency

• High precision
• Minimal bleeding
• Low risk of scarring
• Fast healing process
• Safe use on any part of the body

The Process After the Procedure

There may be mild tenderness after the procedure. Painkillers and locally acting creams are usually recommended. The return to daily life is fast. However, because the HPV virus has the potential to recur, keeping the immune system strong and, when necessary, administering the HPV vaccine are recommended.

Radiofrequency or Laser?

Both methods are effective. While laser treatment can offer an advantage especially in deep and rooted lesions, radiofrequency is a strong alternative in terms of controlled superficial vaporization. The appropriate method is determined according to the patient's clinical situation.

The basic aim in HPV treatment is not only to destroy the wart, but to reduce the viral load and minimize the risk of recurrence.
