What is Skin curettage
Skin curettage Explained
Skin curettage is a treatment in which superficial skin imperfections are removed in a controlled manner. This can be done using a curette, a small sterile instrument that gently scrapes away the skin, or with a cautery pen. The cautery pen is a device that precisely treats and removes small skin imperfections using targeted heat. The treatment is often used for benign skin conditions such as skin tags, seborrheic keratoses, milia, or other superficial skin imperfections.
The treatment aims to improve the skin's surface and reduce cosmetically bothersome blemishes. Depending on the type of skin imperfection, skin curettage can be combined with other techniques to achieve the best possible result.

Results of Skin curettage
Achieved results
After treatment, the skin appears visibly more even and calmer as minor imperfections have been removed. Once the skin has fully recovered, a smoother skin surface and a fresher complexion emerge. Many clients experience increased self-confidence as a result and feel more comfortable with their skin.
The final result will be visible once the skin has fully recovered. To optimally support the skin during recovery, we recommend proper wound care, sun protection, and suitable skincare. View some example results of skin curettage at VNTS Clinics below.
