Tough question

It all depends on the size, texture, location of the mole. If it is a brown mole, the most effective way of removing it would be to surgically excise the lesion. That would result in a linear incision scar. To most people a small non-obtrusive mole may appear better than an incision line. However, if the mole was within 1-2mm away from the nasolabial fold then an excision is a very good method of removal, because you can hide the scar in an anatomic fold. A shave removal of a brown mole will not get the color out.  Bottom line. It needs evaluation.
