What is Infrared Coagulation (IRC)?

Parsons Clinic – Beauty & Skin Care Clinicians
Infrared coagulation, (IRC), is the most modern office treatment for hemorrhoids. It is the preferred method because it is fast, painless, effective, well tolerated by patients and virtually problem free. The physician touches the tip of a small probe to the base of the hemorrhoid and sends out a few short rays of infrared light (about one second). This coagulates the vein above the hemorrhoid causing the hemorrhoid to shrink and recede.
