This is quite common and nothing to worry about.  There are many factors that contribute the way we perceive pain and the two sides of the body are never entirely identical.  In addition, the way the laser is positioned, the amount of tension/pressure applied, the way the body is positioned, and one's level hydration, etc can impact sensation....That said, most doctors, including me will make the disclaimer that if you have any concerns unexepected reactions you should follow up asap with the provider who treated you in the first place.  Hope that helps.

While opinions vary, there are more reported side effects with Coolsculpting, and one can get a "step off" between the treated area and the adjacent tissue with is unnatural appearing.  Sculpsure does not have any of the sometimes reported neuropathy (nerve pain or tingling) as the laser is tareting the fat specifically, and so doing less harm to other tissue.  Coolsculpting in contrast targets all the tissue in the treatment area.  

Thank you for that question!  First, as others have pointed out, there is no cream or topical medication that should be used to remove a skin growth without having it evaluated by a medical professional, first.  "Moles" in particular, need medical expert evaluation, I concur with others that this does not appear to be a typical mole (or "Nevus") and should be evaluated by a physican who specializes in skin growths (e.g. a dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or proceduraly trained primary care physician with additional expertise and training in skin and aesthetics)  

Also, I am concerned because of the erythema (redness) that the cream seems to have caused....again, at this point, face-to-face consultation with a professional is highly recommened.  

Hope that helps!
