A laser which would rid you of a mole, by definition is ablative. This would mean that there would not be any tissue to send to the pathologist.
It is standard procedure to perform a small biopsy before the laser is used. You might check if that was done. Otherwise, the dermatologist must have been very confident that the mole was benign.
This underscores the danger of allowing lay people access to lasers unless they are under the direct supervision of a physician.
