| Wikipedic | Electrocoagulation is a term for Radio Frequency Diathermy, also known as Short Wave Electrolysis. Radio waves are used to cause vibrations, which lead to a rapid increase of the temperature around the delivery mechanism (usually a fine wire probe) thus leading to the split second conversion of water to vapor, causing the resulting steam to flash cook any proteins adjacent to the reaction. At higher powered applications, full desiccation of skin is possible. (references) | ||
