This section of the forum is dedicated to discussions on mole removal, Dr. Lam’s philosophy, technique, and results regarding removal of facial moles, nevi, and other facial lesions. (Also see, Scar revision and keloid management forum.)
Hi doctor lam...I saw your videos of the women talking about mole removals. But they only had a few. I have hundreds that need to be removed. what do you recommend for that or who could you recomend to help me? I've been to a dermatologist. but she only removed a few by burning them off. that was very painful because she had to stick a needle all over my face. I decided not to go back because that was not the answer. Can you help or lead me in the right direction? thanks
these sound like freckles. are they moles or freckles? if freckles, then a laser like an IPL can help. best, sml

no these are not freckles. they are moles. some are raised some are flat. they cover about 95% of my face. But they are on other places on my body. but the ones that on my face are the concern right. can you suggest something? thanks
hmm, i don't have a magic solution. after a clearance from a derm, a laser could help for these moles. you should speak to a cosmetic derm or you can check my laser center if you are in dallas, 972-312-8189 but AFTER a derm says that there are no suspicious lesions and documents that it would be okay with laser. best, sml
