Has anyone had it done?

I went yesterday and they zapped it. The mole is flat now, but there appears to be like a crater where the mole was... I had a raised one, with deep pigmentation. So they said id have to go back to get another treatment for all the pigment to be gone. Kindof worried the crater is still going to be there :(

[penner2k]

how much did it cost?

[Mrtemp]

$120. The place is pretty good, if not expensive. Mine was close to my lip, hence higher priced.

[madddskillz]

does it hurt at all?

I had one removed when I was a kid with 1990 technology and it hurt like a bitch

[Mrtemp]

Oh hellz yah it hurt. LIke a bitch is an understatement.

[sinner]

Where do you get it done?

[Mrtemp]

Got it done at Kitty's Beauty Studio just outside of chinatown. Apparently, the place is pretty famous, and have been in the business for over 20 years.

[sinner]

Could you a little more specific?Adress?

[Mrtemp]

sent u a pm :)

[kurayami]

like does it seriously hurt like a bitch? describe the pain lol

[Mrtemp]

Dude it seriously hurts like a bitch. Like they're burning your freakin face off. My friend went and got hers too, she said she was convulsing from pain!

[pimptony]

i had a birth mark but it's lighter than mole, can they remove it too?

[kurayami]

no way keep the birth mark that shits pimp

You guys should see a specialist instead of a beauty salon, my moms friend's daughter got it done, and if you go to beauty salon places, you usually end up with a crater where the mole was.

i'm sorta interested in getting one removed as well, but i'm not sure where to go, maybe i'll see if this place is good, are all the prices about ~$100?

Removing moles use to be free, u can get it done at your family doctor, now it costs $ :( gay

[Mrtemp]

Almost 2 weeks after i got it removed, i still have a "scab" the size of the mole over the laser wound that has yet to fall off. But it seems to be healing nicely, Im not noticing any crater around the mole area like there was originally! woot!

[wix]

aite, post again when it's all healed, best of luck =)

edit: did they charge you again for going in again? or include in the initial payment

[Mrtemp]

No charge for checkup visits after. :)

[wix]

does it really hurt? or you guys are just kidding around. you guys make it sound like it's like getting your eye ripped out and your socket snipped off by scissors like HOSTEL style O_O

[twinkle]

I got one one my face removed from kitty's beauty.Left a crater but went away shorty after healing time. But still left with beautymark,just smaller a lighter. Havent been back for the sencond session cuz holy moses it hurts like nuts!! It was on my face so it hurrrt.

[wix]

So it really works? doesn't leave any weird blemishes :O

[yameen]

is this ~$100 per mole or per visit on many moles?

[wix]

i think it's cost per mole, depending on the size it is and difficulty to remove?

[babyshortie]

i went to a doctor about it before..they quoted me $150 each time, but they apparently it includes all the ones on the face not charged per mole/beauty mark

i am really interested in doing it also since i have a few larger ones on my face

yeah i heard its also better to go to doctors instead of beauty salons

i hope it doesn't hurt more than getting tattooed??

[SilverT]

I used kitty's to remove one mole. It's day 14 and the mole has still not fallen off yet. The receptionist at kitty's said it should take 7-10 days only. How long did it for the scab to come off for you guys?

[yameen]

i just got one done by a specialist today. i asked them about equipment and they say the beauty salons' equipment are cheaper whereas the vancouver skin care centre costs half a million? they're probably biased but i got about 20-25 removed for $200. at first i thought it was $200 for 10 moles which is $20/mole but instead they removed all of them on my face(about 14). they also removed 3-4 at the neck and 2 that's really close to the neck but considered near the top chest. i asked him politely if he could remove the 3 on my arm and he did. so basically mine was ~$10-12/mole. right now i don't know if i should party at new years and get drunk but i'm leaning towards no.

i'm also curious in how long it takes for the scab to heal. I have to go back for another session but it costs another $200 for that session. in total it adds up to $400 which might not be worth it but i suppose doing it at a specialist is better than a beauty salon. that's my story.

[SilverT]

^yours came out to be so much cheaper.. mines was 150 dollar since it was close to my eye.. and i might have to go back to removed the pigments which is another 50 dollars

[Chuckz]

tekno where is the place u got it done at? address would be great.

you need a referral by your doctor. it's the skin care centre near vgh. it's address is 810 west 10th 3rd floor. it's not as cheap as you think it is. it counts by per session and he's charging me minimum $200 base fine. so if i remove 11 moles for $200, my second session will still be $200 even if i have 5 moles remaining. he's sneaky tho and purposely left some moles half assed done so i would go back a 2nd time. if he still leaves some moles after my 2nd try, i'm not going back for the third UNLESS i really have to. depending on how many you have on your face, he'll charge less. goodluck!

oh i had 2 that was right below my eye. i don't know why they charge you extra since it's just a zap and that's it. what do they charge you extra for? for being more careful? i don't see what it does unless your procedure was different.

[Djiban]

hey tekno, did it hurt?

[Peanut Butter Jelly Time!]

i got mine zapped at a doctor's prolly about 4 years ago, mine was raised with deep pigmentation.... went 2x and didn't work for me, so i said "fuck it" and left well enough alone.

right now i have 3-4 that are raised up but feels like a scab. the 2-3 extra ones that he zapped on my arm i tested one by scratching one of them and the mole kinda peeled off like skin. should i leave it alone? i don't wanna screw up my face but i don't want the laser gone to waste allowing the mole to stay.

Djiban: it hurts for the first 2 hours. it's not excruciating pain like everyone says it is but it's just like a needle for a split second per mole.

[Peanut Butter Jelly Time!]

well from what i've heard, if you scratch it off it'll scar. what happened to me was since the mole was raised, he had to kinda flatten the thing first, then zap it, and it created a lil crater... i didn't touch it and left it alone, healing process was it would scab...

after the second time i zapped it and the healing was done.... it did form a scab like thing... but it didn't fall off, and now everything looks as though I haven't touched it at all and no laser thingy was ever done to it. i don't exactly want to go through the zapping and waste that kind of money again.

Djiban: i second Tekno-Gts on the pain part, it's like a bee sting for a split second, then a warming sensation....my doctors woud ice it for me... i dunno if all doctors would do that though.

[babyshortie]

mine turned into really big scabs..and eventually fell off about 2 weeks later...

its been 6 months..and i'm still in the healing process...the pigments are gone..but the skin is slowly very slowly healing..they told me about 6-9 months for it to completely heal. but i'm thinking at least a year

when the scabs came off it was red like new skin

i started using something called, la mer the concentrate and the moisturizing cream on the spots i got it done, it helps with the process a little but the stuff is insanely expensive. its supposed to help it not scar and heal faster

[yameen]

if it takes a year to heal...would it be a good idea to get it lasered again after a month? my doctor told me to go back in for a second session in february but it might not even have healed by then. now i'm kinda wondering. spending $200 on cosmetics is something i really hate to do.

[babyshortie]

they say to wait a few months before going back for a second session, i think its 3 months or something. the healing just depends on how big and the person i suppose, but i don't think it has to be healed to the point where u can't even tell anything was there before just as long as the skin as recovered a large amount

[elly123]

i don't think i would go to a beauty salon to do laser removal, unless it was hair. For birthmarks and what not, going to a physician to do it would be best.

They give you this "cream" to put on the spot of the day of your treatment to numb the area...

I didn't have a mole, but a small bump on my nose and i remember it being not that bad. But I guess that was because of the anesthetic.

i didn't get a cream or anything...just a laser and off i go. my scabs all came off within a week which is amazingly fast and i'd say 10/14 moles on my face came off while there's still 4 remaining. as i said earlier, it would still cost me $200 to remove 4 so do you guys think i should goto a beauty salon to get the remaining 4 removed for a cheaper price?

[SlayerS_`BoxeR`]

Just wondering; the pain is like nothing basically? Or is it something to worry about?

Also what's weird is I have 2 moles on my face it's just like a small black dot(it's not puffed up or anything). Would it be fast to heal or would it have any scars?

Ones on my left cheek and ones up a bit on my nose near the middle of the eyes.

The only thing worried about this procedures is the scaring. Is everyones moles healing or healed? or Do some of you have scars?

Because my family doctor recommended me to some specialist for this stuff but this specialist was only able to do "cutting" not laser treatment because my family doctor told me that if you do laser the mole might react to it and cause cancer or something on the lines of that. Also I talked to the receptionist via phone for the specialist and asked her if the "cutting" method would scar and she answered "most likely", So than I just quickly canceled my appointment.

What do you guys think?

[SlayerS_`BoxeR`]

TTT? lol

[SilverT]

I had it done at Kitty's. I did it two times and the dot is still not gone. It's scarring too. They just phoned me again a couple of days ago so I can go in for one more itme.

[babyshortie]

welcome to my world..for 2/3 of my dots..pigments appeared again and so i went back for another treatment..

all of mine look like scars, so i've been doing micro dermabrasion sessions to get rid of them...

apparently the micro derm breaks up the pigments and fade them...but it takes 3-6 sessions before major results

i've done 2 sessions so far..right after i get it done, i do see some pigments broken away from the original location

they also recommended a amino acid gel to use at night, its like a mild chemical peel..so it peels away more layers of the skin

WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS, i'm pretty sad its turned out this way

[kenleu]

Sorry to bring up old thread but gf is looking for a place to remove moles. Any recommendations?

laser mole removal before and after (http://lasermoleremovalsite.com) Is Not Impossible Anymore. As with any surgical procedure, there are side effects you must be aware of if you’re considering mole removal using lasers. Although the procedure is quite safe and inexpensive, there are always possibilities of negative side effects. For more info visit: http://lasermoleremovalsite.com/
