You are correct in hearing Thermage is safe for all skin colors.  The reason is, Thermage does not ablate the surface of the skin.  Thermage uses radiofrequency to target the deeper layers within the skin.  See a dermatologist that will use the Total Tip for the treatment.  It is the best the industry offers.

Thermage radiofrequency is great for tightening skin on the face.  CO2 fractional lasers, is not a radiofrequency treatment but a traditional laser treatment, it resurfaces the skin and offers some tightening benefits. Thermage is great for all skin types. It does not have any downtime and is FDA approved as a non-surgical face lift treatment.  You can learn more about Thermage on their website and/or schedule a consultation with a dermatologist that offers this treatment.

Dermatologists are experts at cometic mole removal.  Knowing the clinical aspects of the mole will  allow the dermatologist to determine the best way to remove it. 

 

Check out Thermage.  It is FDA approved as a face lift treatment.  It is non ablative and patients get good results. 

There are various factors in price consideration of mole removal.  Type of removal-biospy only, shave removal, or excisional removal. Cost is determined by the size of the lesion, area and procedure performed.  Insurance may cover some of the cost, depending on medically necessity.  If the moles are asymptomatic, they are considered cosmetic in nature and not covered by the carrier.  Once the lesion is removed, it is sent out for pathology, and that is an additional expense.
