Does Botox help to minimize scaring when removing a mole?

July 31, 2014
Asked By:birdland in New York, NY

I read a review where a patient said "Just today I had a mole removed and since he knows about my history of scarring, he gave injected a dose of botox around the incision to minimize scaring. I am always so impressed by how advanced his techniques are." Is there any truth to this? Many thanks
