What can I expect in getting a mole on my face removed with liquid nitrogen?

Question

Does it hurt? Does it leave a scar? How long does it take to heal?

Answer 1

probably minor scar, no pain, heals quickly, you will look fine the next day, gets better with time

Answer 2

It does hurt.  Your skin is being frozen.  I had warts removed from my thumbs that way, and I have no scarring at all.  It didn't take long to heal either.

The pain is when the actual freezing is done.  Once you warm up again, it stops hurting.

Answer 3

you will have a scar, you should not feel anything but coldness, and it will heal like a scab, if you pick it, scaring will be greater, treat it as a burn once you go home.

Answer 4

it hurts...and it might grow back...

Answer 5

I had a skin tag taken off with liquid nitrogen.  First, my dermatologist injected the tag and it hurt a little bit.  Then it got numb, and before I knew it, she was done removing it.  But it was sore the rest of the day and the little mark took a week or so to go away completely.  But the pain was gone after the first few hours.  I don't have a scar.
