Im thinking to get 3 moles removed on my body. Ive went to a dermatologist for melanoma check last year and they were okay. I see some clinics in my area offer radio frequency/high frequency scalpel, while others use CO2 laser. I tried to search for pros and cons of each but couldnt find any comparison between the two. Just wondering if any one can give some input on which one is better? Thank you
Hello, When will the shininess improve? 4 months ago I had radio frequency mole removal, at the moment my scar is light pink and slightly shiny. This shininess is making the scar hard to cover with makeup as it is slightly atrophic too. When will this improve? I have been using silicone gel for 3 months. What are my treatment options and how long should I leave it before I do something? Would microneedling be of benefit? Thanks!
Hi, I have a flat benign mole (for sure: no changes in over 2 decades) on the nose tip. I have consulted a dermatologist and he suggests punch excision (4mm). I am concerned it will leave a noticable scar and if it is the best option? I asked him about radiofrequency treatment as it is less abrasive but he says since the mole is flat, laser/radio will depress the skin and create a hole. Is he right? is there no better treatment for a flat mole on nose? What will the scar look like in 3 weeks?
About 2 months ago I had radiofrequency mole removal. The wound healed without a scab. I used petroleum jelly to keep it moist and did not expose it to the sun. Now, where the mole once was, have a slightly elevated, shiny patch of skin that is not quite normal-looking in both texture and color versus the surrounding healthy skin. It doesn't look too bad but it's definitely noticeable. Will the texture/color normalize over time? Is this a scar? My doctor will not tell me what settings he used.
About a month ago I had a mole removed on face, utilizing radiofrequency ablation. Now as it has healed it left a indent where it was much bigger than the mole was, and it's concave. As the wound healed, it did not scab. I used petroleum jelly to keep it moist and did not expose it to the sun. I've had no other complications with this but I'm surprised that there is now an indentation. Is it possible that it will fill in?
In a week I am getting a pigmented raised facial mole removed with a radiofrequency device. I would just like to know how likely it is to grow back or for the pigment to reappear? and how long it will take to heal? I have been told 1 week but I am not sure if it will be fully healed in 1 week. Thanks for the help!
I want to remove the mole on my face. almost everybody has told me that this mole is benign. Surgery by stitches scares me. The after scar is not good as well I am left with two options. Radio frequency shave excision or shave excision via Scalpel. Could the experts please guide me in detail the pros and cons of both the methods with specific to my case? Kindly at the bottom mention your choice of treatment in my case Thanks, Danny
