An electrosurgical system including a sharpened electrosurgical electrode, which can have a coated surface, and an automatically adjusting electrosurgical wave generator is disclosed. The automatically adjusting wave generator and the sharpened electrode tip provide or enhance the properties, attributes and/or characteristics of the electrosurgical system and prevent tissue damage and reduce incidences of post-operative complications, thereby quickening the healing process. The wave generator detects various circuit parameters and automatically adjusts the output settings, such as the output power level, based on the various circuit parameters, such as tissue impedance, to prevent undesirable tissue damage.
