The day I removed moles~ Lee Sin Sang, Jalan Sultan

For many years I have been wanted to remove moles on my face but I was afraid of laser treatment or chemical products are use for mole removal therefore it never happen. Until a reporter friend recommend me Lee Sin Sang who are using traditional way for mole removal, and with a long history of more than 50 years in Jalan Sultan. I've save it in my to-do-list for 2019 but it delays due to busy with work. Then covid hit in 2020. After several lockdowns, I finally make it happen before 2021 end. The building where Lee Sin Sang located is so old (like old Hong Kong for me). However the surrounding is very clean and neat despite old fashioned. It seems quiet when walking at this old corridor but it is safe. There's a guard stationed at the main entrance, screening the visitors and guide me where to go to find Lee Sin Sang.   





It is recommended to call up to make appointment before walk in. A fee of RM20 will be charge for consultation, if I did not carry out the mole removal. However, this RM20 will be waive off if I proceed for the removal procedure. The place is run by Lee Sin Sang and his family members together - his wife, son and daughter - total 4 of them. There are four consultation chairs and all of them were around when I was there. I was consulted by the daughter, she is friendly, gentle and explain everything in details. She first point out where are the moles located and let me know whether it is a good or a bad one in fengshui. In my case I have no "good" moles, so it's up to me if I want to keep or remove the one I prefer. I chose to remove all.
  


I never know I have so many moles on my face (even though I am looking at my face everyday). The 2 moles that slowly turn into warts recent years is my biggest concern. After checking and confirm it is safe to be remove, I am so relief that finally I can get rid of it. The mole removal process is fast and painless just like the reviews I read. I closed my eyes all the time and all I can feel is she is gently poke on the mole area with toothpick few times, but no pain at all. While for the warts, it's a different process as it needs to be "burn off". I was told that I will feel like mild prickling, but in actual situation, I feels like there is a heat or fire gets very close to my skin where the warts is. I can smell it is burnt after a heat touch on it (my nose is cover by cottons pads so I don't inhale the smoke). Except for the first "burn" I am so anxious as I don't know what to expect. The second, third and fourth times I am totally fine with it (at least 2 burns for 1 warts as what I remember). All done in about 1 hour and total cost is RM390 for removal of 7 moles and 2 warts, with a touch up 2 months later and 6 months guarantee. A bit pricey than I expect, but I personally find it worth.  


After the mole removal, I find my self looks funny with burn marks all over my face haha! That's what happen when I want to remove all at the same time. Luckily it's cover up after I wear face mask. After the mole removal, the first 7 days it is advice to wash face with clean water only. Facial wash, skincare and makeup are not allowed as it might affect the result. Avoid eating certain food to prevent scar develop at where warts were "burn-off". One week later, the black marks faded and so much lighter. I have one mole that exists since young (I was told that it can only reduce by 70% after the removal), now it turns into a tiny dot, more than 90% reduce for me and I am super happy with that. The spot where warts removed has no scar or damage, looks a little bit translucent since it's new skin that grow up. As time goes by, the skin tone will be even. I hope my experience here can let you have a better understanding bout the process before you go for it.
