Fractionated electroblation - using electro surgery for cutaneous redundancies and bulky flaps.
Various techniques have been advocated for standing cone removal. A fine tipped electrosurgery epilating tip can be used to burn into the subcutaneous tissue in a grid-like pattern. This causes significant dermal tissue contraction and spares the overlying tissue. We have termed this technique, "fractionated electroblation."
