CURETTAGE & ELECTRODESSICATION
Electrodessication & Curettage is a technique involving scraping (curettage) and burning (electrodesiccation) to destroy cancerous cells on the skin. This may be appropriate for treating small, superficial (early) basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers. Treatment is done under local anesthesia and takes 5-10 minutes. Afterward, patients have a small scab that they apply Vaseline and a bandage to help healing, which occurs over a few weeks.

“Friendly and Caring staff”
“Dr Abrou was such a pleasure/treasure. He took the time to explain the procedure and made sure I was comfortable. My procedure was a few days from Christmas and it was clearly busy. He commented to one of his assistants on how much he appreciated her help during this busy time. That has to speak to his character. The staff was so friendly and caring also. Thank you to all at Beacon. I would recommend this practice for sure. “
