    Default Erbium Laser = teh shit

    I went for what seems like my 100th laser tattoo removal treatment today. I asked if they could do anything about my abundance of freckles and moles. They said sure, let's test the laser of one spot on your body and one on your face. This thing rules! I had a big mole on my shoulder (like black and the size of a pencil eraser) and it's gone! We tested a freckle on my face, and BAM gone. Where the mole was is a little hollowed out and looks like a burn, but it's supposed to fill in as it heals. Where the freckle was looks like bug bite.

    I booked an appointment for July 1, and we are lasering every freckle and mole off my face, neck, shoulders, and back.... and one weird mole on my stomach. I am so excited for perfect skin!

    They usually charge by the "lesion" but they're just going to charge me for a 15 minute block, around $300-500.

    Has anyone else done this?

    That's awesome! Does the laser work that well for your tattoo removal as well?

    ^ they use a different laser for my tattoos. I have a whole thread about it somewhere.

    I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to say, I went to get my freckles/acne scars lasered off my face last week, but I'm not too happy with the results so far.. waiting to see if they will "fade with time"..... He just did my face and I have an appointment for the 30th to get my body "defreckled"
    My facial freckles were like swollen bug bites when he finished, and I held ice on them but it iddn't help so much. He said I might have to do more sessions to fade them more.
    Glad to hear yours worked out well!! How did the body freckle removal go!? Yay, flawless skin!

    ^ I cancelled because I'm going to be out in the sun all the time until maybe October.

    What kind of laser did he use. Doesn't sound like erbium. They "flatten" your moles/freckles.

    I wanna do this! I am naturally freckly but have noticed two HUGE freckles on my face, no doubt due to years of tanning and I want them gone.

    Ok, in retrospect, I would not recommend this for FLAT spots. It's a cutaneous laser, it basically just cuts down the skin micron by micron, it doesn't erase pigment. Moles go away because they're on the surface. I'm getting the erbium done for all my raised moles/freckles, and a medium peel done on my face to get rid of my brown spots.

    Ahh ok, we had different lasers then. I saw the word "Alex" on the laser machine. I couldn't find any other words at a glance. It felt like sharp rubber bands snapping on my skin. It left the skin a bit swollen after too.... Ya, I hear you have to always wear sunscreen or else you'll just get more freckles! :s
    Thanks for the answer
