Destruction
For certain low-risk skin cancers and precancerous lesions, destruction techniques offer an effective, minimally invasive treatment option performed right in our office. Using methods such as electrodesiccation and curettage, our dermatologists precisely and efficiently eliminate abnormal cells, with a straightforward recovery and no surgical incision required.
What is Destruction?
In dermatology, "destruction" refers to a category of treatments that eliminate abnormal or cancerous skin cells by physically destroying them rather than cutting them out and closing with sutures. The most common destructive technique is electrodesiccation and curettage (ED&C).
During ED&C, your dermatologist uses a small instrument called a curette to scrape away the cancerous tissue, then applies an electric current to the area to destroy any remaining abnormal cells and control bleeding. This sequence is typically repeated two to three times in the same session to maximize effectiveness.
Destruction is best suited for low-risk, superficial skin cancers, most commonly certain types of basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, in locations where the technique is clinically appropriate.
What to Expect With Destruction
ED&C is a straightforward in-office procedure that typically takes 15 to 30 minutes from start to finish. Here is what happens on the day of your treatment.
Preparation
Curettage
Electrodesiccation
Repeat Cycles
Wound Care and Discharge
Simple Recovery, Steady Healing
Because destruction does not involve a surgical incision, recovery is generally more straightforward than with excision or Mohs surgery. The treated area will scab over and heal gradually over several weeks. Your provider will schedule a follow-up visit to confirm complete healing and assess the site.
Recovery at a Glance
Your Destruction Questions, Answered
In dermatology, destruction refers to techniques that eliminate abnormal or cancerous skin cells by physically destroying them, rather than surgically cutting them out and closing the wound with sutures. The most common method is electrodesiccation and curettage, or ED&C, in which the lesion is scraped away, and an electric current is applied to the site to destroy remaining cells and control bleeding.
Destruction is most commonly used for low-risk basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma in situ (Bowen's disease), and actinic keratoses. It is generally appropriate for superficial lesions in lower-risk locations (typically the trunk or extremities) rather than the face, ears, or other areas where tissue preservation and margin control are priorities.
All three are in-office procedures for removing skin cancer, but the method and best use cases differ. Destruction (ED&C) physically eliminates the lesion without removing a tissue specimen, making it appropriate for low-risk superficial cancers. Excision removes the lesion with a surgical margin and sends the tissue to pathology for analysis. Mohs surgery removes tissue in real time, layer by layer under a microscope, offering the highest margin precision, particularly for complex or high-risk cancers. Your provider will recommend the approach that fits your diagnosis.
The treatment area is numbed with a local anesthetic before the procedure begins. Most patients feel only a brief sting at the injection site. The curettage and electrodesiccation steps themselves should not be painful once the anesthetic has taken effect. Some tenderness and a burning sensation in the area are normal in the hours immediately following the procedure.
Yes, a small scar or pale, flat mark at the treatment site is a normal outcome of destruction. Because the wound heals without sutures, the appearance of the scar is somewhat different from a sutured surgical wound. The size and visibility of the mark depend on the treated area and its location on the body. Your provider can discuss what to expect based on your specific case.
Most ED&C procedures are completed in 15 to 30 minutes, including preparation. The curettage and electrodesiccation cycle is repeated two to three times per session, but the process is efficient. You can typically drive yourself home and return to most normal activities the same day.
Destruction techniques like ED&C are generally covered by most insurance plans when performed for a medically indicated skin cancer diagnosis. Coverage details vary by plan. We recommend confirming your benefits before your appointment. Our team can assist with questions about what to expect from your specific coverage.
Because destruction does not produce a tissue specimen for pathology, confirmation of treatment success relies on clinical follow-up. Your provider will examine the treated area at a follow-up visit to confirm complete healing and look for any signs of recurrence. Ongoing monitoring is an important part of your care plan after destruction, especially for patients with a history of skin cancer.
Recurrence after destruction is possible, particularly if the original lesion was not fully eliminated. If recurrence occurs, your dermatologist will reassess the lesion and recommend the most appropriate next step, which may include excision or Mohs surgery, depending on the size, location, and characteristics of the recurrent cancer. Regular follow-up visits are the best way to catch any changes early.

I haven't even been to the appointment yet for my son but I needed to get up here and brag on Taylor! She was absolutely delightful to speak to on the phone several times now and really helped me get an appointment changed around with no problems or attitude. It's sadly getting rarer nowadays to run into someone over the phone who takes their job seriously and actually sounds like they even like their job, but she was so awesome! You never know what kind of day a person is having, and just sounding happy and cheerful could really impact someone's mood. Taylor, I hope you read this and know that you're an amazing young woman and a light in this world! Keep being you!

Had a pleasant experience here with my daughter. She had laser treatment for a spider angioma on her face. All of the staff were very pleasant. Kandis and Dr. Wu were so kind and very knowledgeable! My daughter is so happy she got the angioma removed. Thank you Dr. Wu for performing the laser treatment!

Dr. Montemarano and his professional team are simply the best in the skin care business. Knowledgeable, compassionate, efficient, on time and exceptional communicators who make you feel special every time you enter their practice.

The Annapolis office is very welcoming and professional. CHARU is always very pleasant and explains everything to you clearly so you understand. She never pushes services on you and has your best interest in mind when recommending treatments. I highly recommend Meridiem DermSpa in Annapolis and be sure to ask for Charu she definitely will take good care of you.

My visits are for skin cancer screenings because of my history. I visit the Charlotte/pineville area location specifically to see Dr April B******. I’ve been to several dermatologists because of insurance network parameters and was very happy finding out that she was at a facility in my current network. She is really good at what she does. Thanks
Karen H.
Great first time appt! So prompt and friendly! Had one mole burned (froze) off. Very ready for me, promptly at my appointment time!
Kent R.
Dr Niebyl and his staff were pleasant and professional. Dr Niebyl was attentive to what I said and asked. He is "old-school", meaning he actually listens and relies on his training and experience, and orders testing only when warranted. He noticed minor skin issues I hadn't mentioned and recommended OTC treatment. The only downside is that he is a solo practitioner who is nearing retirement age. I wonder who will replace him when that time comes. In the meanwhile, he is MY dermatologist.
Mary D.
Everyone was kind and professional
Candy K.
I had the most wonderful experience with Britney Sanderson. She was very professional and knowledgeable concerning the procedures that I desired. Most especially she made sure I was comfortable, understood the procedures that she would be administrating, the after care and took the time needed to answer all of my questions. She made me feel very special. I was totally overwhelmed with the outcome! Thank you Britney.

The office experience is always great. I don’t have to wait long, and the staff is attentive. Another thing, in between visits, I can leave a message on the nurses line with questions. My Physician’s Assistant’s nurse calls me back quickly and interacts with him for getting answers. I am well taken care of. I would like to add to my review because of my ongoing care. I am thankful for my PA, Kevin Blazer, who makes sure I get the proper medication. With the approval process, the department works very hard to make sure all of the paperwork is in order. Consequently, I am making progress.

I say enough good things about Codi!. She is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and truly cares about her clients.

My skin has improved so much, and every visit feels like a reset for both my skin and my confidence. Highly recommend! I also cannot recommend my injector Brittany Sanderson enough! She is incredibly knowledgeable, skilled, and takes a very conservative, thoughtful approach. She listened to my goals, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt completely comfortable. The results are natural, refreshed, and exactly what I wanted. I trust her 100%. Such a fantastic group of providers at the Farragut office!

Today was my second experience at Atlantic Dermatology. Once with my husband and today I went for myself for the first time. It’s such a great atmosphere, the staff is knowledgeable and compassionate. I wanted a full body check. They were very thorough and told me what all the spots were (I have lots of sun damage) and took a biopsy of one spot. I had heard great things about them, and they did not disappoint.

Charu, Sandra, and Claire are an extremely talented and well-educated group of cosmetic providers that will undoubtedly impress you with their passion and knowledge of aesthetic treatments. I have had the chance to have treatments done by each of them -- a full face BBL with Charu, Botox with Sandra, and filler with Claire. Every treatment has exceeded my expectations in terms of comfort and results. This new office is modern, spacious, and conveniently located. I highly recommend checking them out!
jeff b.
Excellent care!

I have been visiting the Easton office for a number of years now and the office staff has always worked so well with me on my appointments. As for Dr. Neibyl, well, as long as he can see me I do not even think of going elsewhere. A 108 mile round trip is nothing compared to the peace of mind that I get after a visit. Richard R.
jeff b.
Staff is always friendly and efficient. I’ve been going here many years and Ken Johnson and Dr Callaway are always great. I go to other doctors and none of them are as good or friendly. Other places lose paperwork, don’t call me for test results, and have attitudes. Thank you!
jeff b.
From the second i walked in the door, all of my anxieties were put to rest. Every one i dealt with was well educated, kept me informed and was able to address all of my concerns no matter how silly they may have been. I feel like they are all my new best friends!!!!!! If i could give 10 stars i would!!! I will be a long term client!
jeff b.
I have had the absolute pleasure of being treated by Charu Jain, NP, at AADerm. She is a master at Botox. I have a small forehead and Botox can be challenging for me - however Charu has perfected my treatments. I am also a Registered Nurse and have always preferred having cosmetic procedures within a medically based office. Charu has also administered PRP (platelet rich plasma) injections to my scalp - for my moderate alopecia. My results have been incredible and measurable. I am so thrilled and would HIGHLY recommend Charu for all cosmetic services.

I had surgery on my back today to remove a melanoma. Dr. Harvey and the nurse (I am so sorry I did not get her name) were absolutely wonderful. I felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. Now, at 11:00 p.m., I have no pain and have taken no pain medication. If the operation was not so serious I could honestly say I enjoyed it! Have all the information and medication I need to heal me quickly and completely.

Anne Arundel Dermatology in Prince Frederick is the only place I go to be treated and get skin exams. They are prompt, courteous, professional and thorough. I have had two precancerous moles removed over the years. No scarring and no problems. They were especially aggressive with the last one, as we knew it could have gone to carcenoma any time. The treating physician took what to me was a large portion of tissue out, and sutured it aggressively. It healed so well that today no one can tell I ever had it done. The PA there is so good that he identified what I had my whole life thought was a mole as a Seborreic keratosis. Unconvinced I had him remove it. I was wrong, he was right. The thing has stayed gone ever since, and I will always be grateful for it. No one could ever tell it had been on my arm for 50 years, because it is gone 10,000%.
jeff b.
Kind, compassionate and professional
jeff b.
Staff members are polite and helpful and there is very little wait time for appointments. Dr. Giblin never gives up when working to solve my concerns and improve my condition.

Dr. Giblin even fit me in on an already booked schedule because I was having concerns.

I’ve been to this dermatology practice now twice to see Dr Liu. I’m very happy that my GP referred me to them! I grew up in Miami and got more than my fair share of sun in the days when we used lotion to magnify the sun’s effect rather than to protect our skin. as such, I’m prone to skin cancer, and Dr Liu, who’s a Mohs surgeon, is an ideal dermatologist for me. And he’s just terrific: bright, thorough, competent and caring. I completely trust him as my doctor… and btw, he’s a heck of a nice guy too! Beyond that, the practice is very well run. The people are friendly, they know what they’re doing, and they get me in with the doctor right on schedule. Well done to all of you and thank you!
