Calgary Vein & Laser offers curettage treatment, a minimally invasive procedure used to remove abnormal skin growths such as warts, skin tags, and superficial skin cancers. Using a specialized tool called a curette, the procedure scrapes away unwanted tissue, often followed by electrosurgery to ensure complete removal and reduce bleeding. Curettage is effective for treating benign growths, actinic keratosis, and early-stage basal cell carcinoma. It’s a quick, safe treatment with minimal scarring, typically completed in one session under local anesthesia. Patients can expect the area to heal over a few weeks, with healthy skin forming where the lesion was removed. Recovery is straightforward, with mild discomfort subsiding in a few days, allowing most individuals to resume daily activities quickly.

Recovery from curettage is typically straightforward. Patients may experience some redness, swelling, or mild discomfort in the treated area, which usually subsides within a few days. Proper wound care is essential to ensure good healing, and most individuals can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure. Scarring is generally minimal and fades over time.
