A member asked:
I am wondering what is the max number of moles that can be removed at a time? is laser the safest way to do it? any post procedure advice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See dermatologist: No max. Laser not usually best. The answer to this question depends on the nature of the "moles". Are they actually seborrheic keratoses? Any possible cancers? Where are they? How large? Begin with a definition of the nature of the "moles". Should any of them be sent for microscopic analysis?
