When you’re suffering from a skin condition that causes moles and blemishes in your skin, often times the best course of action is removal via cryotherapy or surgery. Of course, the main concern and bottom line for most people is price. How much will mole removal cost? The answer is dependent on what kind of mole removal you’ll be using. There are home-kits that are available over-the-counter at most drug stores as well as recently legalized personal freezing spray to treat moles. Laser treatments are of course more expensive though they are quick and painless. Lastly, natural remedies and techniques like the shaving method are available at low to no cost. Depending on the size of your mole you may or may not be able to make use of home-kits. If you need surgery, a dermatologist will be most qualified to diagnose the right removal strategy.
Home-Kits and Their Cost
Home wart and mole removal kits usually involve creams or freezing sprays. Recently freezing sprays have been made legal for over-the-counter sale. Previously, doctors would use the freezing sprays to numb the local area of a mole before performing the simple, in-office surgery of removal. Often only a couple stitches are necessary when incisions are made but when performing a removal at home, you don’t need to lance or cut at your mole. After regular use of the freezing spray the mole will slowly get smaller and either flake or fall off. Creams are a great solution as well and are relatively inexpensive as they’ve been used and manufactured for much longer than the sprays. Topical application of mole removal cream such as DermaTend will produce results slower than surgery but faster than natural remedies such as Castor Oil treatment.
Laser Treatment Costs
Laser treatment can be expensive but it is the quickest and most efficient treatment available. People who’ve undergone laser treatment report that it feels “tingly” – not painful. Laser treatment sometimes requires several sessions, too. Because of this, laser treatment isn’t recommended if you don’t have an insurance plan that covers it. With low-intensity lasers, the mole and skin surrounding it is instantly burned off and cauterized respectively during laser treatment. Just because laser treatment is quick and efficient doesn’t make it the most practical method considering the cost.
Free Mole Removal Techniques
If you’re not looking to spend any money but also get great mole removal results, the best way is to use free techniques. For instance, onion juice when applied twice daily as a topical ointment can significantly decrease the size of a mole. Castor oil is also an effective remedy for mole removal. By using free and low cost techniques, you can get the best value out of your mole removal venture. If you instantly jump to laser removal without first consulting a dermatologist you may wind up spending thousands needlessly. Home remedies and over-the-counter products are available for most mole removals and they work effectively at getting rid of blemishes over the long run.
