How Can I Reduce The Size Of The Beauty Mark On Face Which Is Getting Bigger?
Hi, I have a beauty mark on my face and I think it's getting bigger, how do I remove it. I don't want to remove the whole think but I want to make it smaller because I think I won't look good without it so what should I do. Should I go to a dermatologist or some beauty care. Are they reliable?

Hi. Thanks for posting on HCM.
Moles can be completely removed with either LASER Or with Radiofrequency cautery.
Various lasers available are:
CO2 Laser
Q-Switched ND:YAG Laser combined with IPL if the Mole is hairy.
I would advice that you visit only a dermatologist and never a beautician for mole removal, because amateur removal can lead to permanent unsightly scars/marks. Your dermatologist would tell you more about it.
take care
regards
