No pain, no downtime, but I'm not sure these are really moles (although I've had moles all my life). After an extended outing in the sun, I had one "spot" on my forehead start to grow and that is what prompted my appt. The Doctor was less worried about those on my face - she called them seborrheic keratoses - and was more worried about the actinic keratoses she found on my forearms. She treated 12 spots in all, split 50%/50% between seborrheic and actinic and also 50%/50% between face/forearms. HTH, Mike
Anywhere from $10 to $15 per unit is reasonable depending on your geographic area.Be wary of bargain basement pricing as this can mean the injections are not being done by a trained professional!
These issues are simple to fix with a skilled provider. It is not a "cut and paste" type of treatment. Because your issues are asymmetric, the injections must also be. Brow lift can be achieved by placing injections higher than "usual". To have one side lower than the other, the Botox should be placed farther to the side (lateral) on the side you want lower. It should be placed closer to the center of your face (medial) on the side that needs to be higher. In my hands, treating the brow and the 11s ends up being about 34 units and is very natural looking- some of my patients don't even tell their husbands they've had it done!
Grafting has inherent risks on its own. I prefer serial excision for large tattoos, which removes the need for skin grafting completely. Excision is the only way to completely remove a tattoo which is the goal for many people. Of course the down side is a scar which you would have to be willing to accept to go this route. Hope this helps!
Yes, this is a great option for a small tatttoo of the wrist. There is extra skin there and as long as you are willing to accept a scar in place of the tattoo, you should be very happy with the results.
Finger tattoos can be especially troubling. Generally they are small, however, and when this is the case, the results of surgical excision can be very good! This is one of my favorite areas to surgically remove tattoos because they tend to heal well and have a huge positive impact on a patient's life.
