Electrocautery

John L. Bezzant,M.D.

Very light electrocautery can be used to smooth any uneven edges. If using the hyfrecator model, it should be plugged into low and a setting of 30 on the older machines, or setting of 3 watts on the newer machines should be used, and a very light brush kind of stroke should be used to smooth out the edges.
