Curettage is an advanced dermatological procedure designed to effectively remove specific skin lesions.
At Canberra Skin Cancer Clinic, our dermatologists use a specialized curette to carefully scrape away the targeted lesion layers, eliminating both visible lesions and underlying abnormal cells. This precise technique ensures thorough treatment while keeping your comfort and safety a priority.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to minimize any discomfort. Our experts handle every step carefully, ensuring the scraping is precise and controlled.
Following the curettage, the treated area is gently cleaned and dressed to promote optimal healing. Patients typically experience minimal discomfort and can resume normal activities quickly.


Curettage allows the complete removal of abnormal tissue while preserving surrounding healthy skin. This approach reduces the risk of recurrence and provides a thorough therapeutic outcome.
Our team closely evaluates the treated area post-procedure to confirm that the lesion has been fully removed, ensuring you receive the best possible results.
If necessary, the removed tissue may be sent for laboratory evaluation to ensure no abnormal cells remain. Our dermatologists review the results and provide clear, personalized guidance for follow-up care or monitoring.
We also offer tailored advice for ongoing skin care, helping you maintain healthy, vibrant skin long after the procedure.
