Best Mole Removal for Small and Flat Moles on Hispanic Skin?

Hi, I'm a mid 20's hispanic female with light skin that has many small, flat, dark brown moles on my body. I would only like to remove the ones on my face which are probably around 20 or so.
I have had all of them since I was a child, if it matters. Which procedure would be most effective in removing them? I can't find much information on-line, nor any before & after photos!
Apparently, laser is not the answer. Can anyone please help? I am open to flying anywhere in the country!

Mole Removal
Moles should be removed completely and sent for biopsy.
The problem is that every time you remove a mole or any thing you are leaving a scar behind.
The trade off is a SCAR for every mole removed. I do not think it is worth the trade off.
If the moles are benign then leave them.
