      The only way they can truly convince people is to go into detail to explain just exactly why, in many cases but not all, it requires years of experience or a smart/PhD mind. But no, that might loose some customers I guess is their thinking? Might attract some as well and inspire confidence, rather than thus used car salesman schtick

    My question is if it’s such a dangerous procedure that is so risky to do at home, why doesn’t insurance cover it? They say it’s an elective procedure. Why isn’t treating my acne considered elective? I have tons of large ugly moles all over my back. I go to the dermatologist faithfully for my acne and to get my moles checked. My insurance covers that. If my doctor tells me that my moles are noncancerous or concerning appearing every single year, why wouldn’t I opt to use a $40 machine to burn them off versus $300-$600 per mole by the dermatologist? Even if it does get infected, my insurance would probably cover the treatment for that. I believe the only upside to getting my dermatologist to do it, is that she would be able to numb the skin with an injection so it wouldn’t be as painful to remove.

  • @biggaboydraws5483

    I have one of those portable mole removers, and it works just fine! But I'm not going to lie, if you don't numb your skin with ice or some kind of numbing cream, it can be kinda painful. But other than that, if you disinfect the instrument and the area where the mole is, you shouldn't have to worry about infection. I had small to medium moles on my face, and my wife zapped them. After it healed and the scab came off, it didn't leave any scars. This video is just more propaganda by the medical industry to detour the average person from doing home remedies! Their goal is to scare you, so you'll only trust them! Then they will proceed to over charge you for a simple procedure, and rob you of all your money! But I guess that's the American way!

      Not to mention astronomical costs of doctors. Rather than explain how to spot cancerous moles (or that ot is very difficult at times) and explain how to completely remove them, they would rather freak us out (perhaps justifiably) by deliberately (?) Not going into detail. This is walking a fine line, because people who cant afford surgery will try DIY methods. The doctor priesthood thing is perhaps counterproductive?

  • @fashionbug9880
    @fashionbug9880 6 років тому +50

    I definitely agree that it can be very dangerous, however, I looked at a couple devices' reviews and they were largely very positive. As in 72-85% 5-star reviews with hundreds of reviews, so I feel like showing 2 negative reviews doesn't reflect the results of most people.

  • @biggaboydraws5483
    @biggaboydraws5483 2 роки тому +7

    Propaganda at it's finest! But if the mole remover isn't for you, just get a small piece of cotton and soak it in apple cider vinegar, then put the cotton on your mole, cover it with a bandaid for about four hours. Repeat the process two more times. Your mole should eventually fall off. This is a safe and natural way to remove a mole!

    I’m an automotive enthusiast. To remove moles cheaply, easily, and effectively, do this: 1)buy an inexpensive soldering iron. 2)Numb area with a simple ice cube for 30 seconds 3) dip soldering iron tip in isopropyl alcohol 4) burn mole momentarily until discomfort 5) reapply ice cube to the area 6) reapply the soldering iron to the mole area 7) repeat until mole is completely gone.
    So simple; but doctors won’t tell you this. 😇
