    Thanks for the post, have pm'd you.
  • Thank you Qwerty for keeping us all updated..please continue to..

    Can i ask anyone...does anyone have an opinion which doctor at nottingham would be best to do treatment? its probably much of a muchness im sure but when i first heard of this clinic i was convinced dr maini (who is the head man i believe) would be the best, however dr hambleton is the one they book you into and ive been told does most of this work now. any ideas?

    Before i book in myself i thought id exhaust any other possible method and ive read a bit on the net about either bleaching or de-pigmentation, neither would clearly actually remove my mole (dark brown and v slightly raised)
    but i was thinking that something flesh-coloured may be better to look at than scarring. (you can tell im still not totally convinced about radiowave!)
    Has anyone tried either of these methods and what were the results? Thank you.

    Dr Hamilton performed the Radiowave procedure on me, and I too thought that it would be Dr Maini who would do the procedure (based on reviews/posts I had read), however, I was told that it would be Dr Hamilton performing when I booked myself in and I think he has done a good job. (based on almost a weeks healing)
  • HI Boris Beanpole,

    just wondering about the laser treatment they gave you for remaining pigmentation. is that at the nottingham clinic aswell? how successful was that?
    how long did you have to wait for the ones that didn't heal too well to be at a state that is permanent i.e. no longer healing? and how long after the main treatment did you have the laser treatment for the pigmentation? thanks

    first look immediately after treatment - wow disappeared, will keep you updated, if you're bothered about them I'd say don't hesitate - go for it!!!
  • Thanks Macca for letting us know.
    What type of mole did you have removed and what doctor carried it out?

    hi there, what do you mean what type of mole, do you mean where on the body? Dr Hamilton did it.
    Thanks
  • sorry..what i meant was..raised or flat mole..ive been told that the flatter the mole the harder it is to get a good result..thanks again.

    Boris,

    Have you had any scars left after treatment.
    Nottingham clinic claims the procedure does not cause any scaring.
    Is that true?

    If any one else had radio srugical treatment, please can you answer my question.

    Thanks a lot guys.

    2 flat moles - well flat in that they looked flat but you could tell they were ever so slightly raised if you touched them and one nasty warty sticky out mole - no scarring just pink skin at the moment healing very nicely. Brilliant not self conscious anymore!
    HTH anything else just ask away
