Cutaneous curettage: Treatment for healthy skin

During the first consultation, the dermatologist assesses the type of lesions and their location.

At this point, you should tell your doctor what type of medication you are taking and any allergies you may have, as a precaution.

In Skin Curettage, a medical instrument called a curette is used. It's a spoon-shaped instrument with a sharp edge. It performs delicate scraping with extreme precision, usually reaching only the most superficial layer of the skin.

• It does not require anesthesia and is performed in the office, however an anesthetic cream may be applied to the injured area to numb the area to be operated on.
• After curettage, the patient returns to normal life on the same day.
