Asked By:BelleRae

I have quite a large mole near my mouth that I'd love to have removed. I've had it my whole life so it's quite deep set in my skin. I had it lasered once about 5 years ago when I was 15 but the laser only made it flatter and a lighter color. I'm wondering if there's any way to remove it completely without damaging the area, since it's right on my smile line) or leaving a huge scar. If I can't get it fully removed, is there anything I can do to make it lighter or smoother?
