Is it possible to remove a mole by injection?
I saw my dermatologist today to have two moles removed For the larger one on my back that they froze it, injected with a numbing agent, and used a laser to remove it. The one on my leg was smaller and they said it was a different type and that they were just going to inject it. I don't know what they injected it with and I've never heard of a mole being removed that way. Is that a valid way of removing a mole? When should I expect it to look different? About 14 hours later it looks the same as always, slightly raised and dark.

They always use a numbing agent first. Moles have "roots"...they aren't just on the surface. They often go downward into the skin quite a ways.
Moles can't be removed by injection. When you get a mole removed, they cut it out.
I suggest you get a second opinion.
Either that, or you ask your doctor for more clarification when you get a procedure done that you aren't sure about.
