Radiosurgery is a relatively new minimally invasive method of cutting and coagulating soft tissues and is used to remove and reshape skin tags, warts, growths, birthmarks, moles, scars and other 'lumps and bumps', as well as for cosmetic surgery procedures such as eyebag removal. During this procedure, tissue to be treated is either removed or destroyed by electrical energy, which is then converted to heat because of tissue resistance. Unlike electrocautery, the heat is generated in the tissues and hence the actual electrode remains cold so cannot burn or damage surrounding tissue. There is no pressure required during radiosurgery and the tissue cells are effectively vaporised in the path of the radiowaves, which causes them to split apart much like a hot wire through polystyrene.
