Safe and Effective Mole Removal
With Ellman Surgitron® only the lesion itself is removed after a small amount of anesthetic administered by a very fine needle under the lesion. Immediately after Ellman Surgitron® excision, there is simply a raw non-bleeding surface no bigger than the original surface area of the lesion.
This forms a scab and 7-10 days later there is a fresh healthy layer of new skin which over time blends in to the normal skin color.

Cosmetic
Radiosurgery Benefits
- Virtually no risk of scarring – the removal occurs at a very superficial skin level
- Minimal damage to surrounding skin
- No bleeding
- Minimal if any pain
Moles/Lesions that are not suitable for Surgitron are removed using more traditional Cosmetic Surgery techniques. Our Surgeon is a highly skilled and experienced physician in performing these procedures and the difference in scarring between Surgitron and more traditional techniques is very similar.
Areas that can be treated Dr Mark Morunga MD
The video below talks about the Ellman Surgitron®. Face Doctors and Essential Mens are partnered clinics.
Growths treated include moles, skin tags, seborrhoiec keratoses, warts, verruccas, and other raised lesions. ellman Surgitron® is also successful in treating sun spots and facial veins.
- Face- the technique is particularly useful for facial growths and spots as there is no scarring and the healing period is short.
- Facial veins-lasers are usually used for facial veins, but for those people who are not suitable for laser, surgitron is a good alternative.
- Armpits/Breasts/Neck– these are common sites of fleshy growths called skin tags. The technique is often used to remove skin tags under the armpits and under the breasts and in the V of the neck.
- Hands– to remove brown spots, solar keratoses and other growths.

Skin Lesions Cosmetic Radiosurgery vs Surgical Removal
The use of Surgitron technology in cosmetic radiosurgery is increasing rapidly because it delivers excellent cosmetic results in benign skin lesions.
However conventional scalpel-based surgery has an absolutely vital role to play in suspicious, concerning or non-benign skin lesions.
The major differences are:
However conventional scalpel-based surgery has an absolutely vital role to play in suspicious, concerning or non-benign skin lesions.
The major differences are:
- No pressure is used for cutting tissues by Surgitron. It is the radio wave which does the cutting.
- There are no absolute power settings on the machine; surgeons learn settings only by experience. For example, a small moist lesion will require much less power to remove than a larger fibrous keratinized lesion.
- If repeated incisions need to be made on the same lesion, time is allowed to let the edges cool down in-between the cuts, usually up to 10 seconds.
- Rather than removing the whole lesion in one attempt, better cosmetic results are obtained by removing it piece-by-piece and “planning” the lesion until it is flushed with the surrounding skin.
Surgitron Technology
Surgitron uses advanced radio-wave technology that provides unparalleled surgical control, precision, versatility, and safety. A surgical electrode, made out of fine tungsten wire, emits radio-waves at 3.8MHz and glides through tissue with no pressure. The cutting effect is performed without crushing cells.
Heat is generated by resistance offered by tissue to the passage of a radio frequency wave which disintegrates and volatizes the cells in its path. It causes the tissue to split apart as if it had been cut with a sharp razor-blade. An equally significant advantage is that the electrode is self-sterilizing while in use, diminishing the likelihood of post procedure infection. Please note, not all moles are able to be removed using Surgitron.

Cost of treatment
The cost of Ellman Surgitron® treatment varies depending on the number of growths removed. We charge from $450 for the first mole and from $350 thereafter.
There is also a consultation fee of $95 which is redeemable from the treatment cost – so if you undertake the removal at your first appointment, there’s no charge for the consultation.
