Brief Answer: Lasers'; Chemical Peels & Electrosurgery Detailed Answer: Hi there XXXXXXX Without surgery, I am afraid your options for the large mole are limited. In good experienced hands, Lasers' may be useful but the type, cost etc will depend on the dermatologist/cosmetologist you visit in your area & if he has the relevant laser & or expertise. The smaller moles may do well with spot chemical peels or using a hyfrecator (electrofulguration). Again will depend on your treating dermatologist & subject to his/her experience & availability of equipment. Lasers' are the way forward to remove body hair & a Diode laser or a ND-Yag laser is possibly optimal. Bottom Line: Meet with a competent dermatologist in your area as all these are 'interventional' procedures. Good Luck & Godspeed! Dr Praveen Rodrigues MD

Brief Answer: You are most welcome Detailed Answer: You are most welcome XXXXXXX If you were in my part of the world, could have very easily recommended a specialist or done it myself. Good Luck with your procedures but ensure the treating doc is up front & candid with you so your expectations are met or you are comfortable what to expect. For instance, hair removal is never a 100% guarantee whatever the literature says but you get a fair shot at around 90% reduction. Cheers!
