It costs between $500 to $600 for an extraction session

According to Mamma Mia!, an extraction session could cost $500 to $600. That’s a lot of money, but that’s because of a specific reason.

“A lot of these people really want these things to be removed,” Dr. Lee told Forbes. “They’re benign and they’re not anything that needs to be removed medically, which is why insurance won’t pay.”

The dermatologist went on to explain how she used this to her advantage. “So, many dermatologists we won’t remove them, they say, ‘You have a blackhead there but don’t worry about it.’ But now, I’ll do the extractions for free if my patients let me videotape and use the video,” Dr. Lee told Forbes. “Of course, I make them anonymous and remove anything identifying.” That way people were happy to get a free treatment and she had footage.

In the end, a consultation with Dr. Sandra Lee costs $120 and that fee reportedly can go toward the price of the extraction session. Extraction sessions then cost between $500 to $600. People in her videos usually don’t have to pay for the fee, but regular patients will because it’s not covered by insurance.
