How to Remove a Flat Mole on my Face? (photo)

Dark flat moles can be burned lighter in color with lasers or electrofulguration and usually need 1-3 sessions but do look good in the end. They will always come back but may take yrs before that happens and then do it again. Another method is just excising them and closing up with a tiny suture so they won't ever come back again. Both are easy to do and essentually painless. Sincerely,

I would recommend that you see a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist for an evaluation.  With a complete surgical excision, you would be trading in the mole for a scar. 

Hello Dark flat moles on the face can leave a hypo or hyperpigmented scar. with a expert opinion one would be able to advise only at the time of consult what treatment modalities are available and effective for this.  procedures like chemical peels, laser resurfacing, to excision can be effective. 

I'm afraid that there is no such thing as a scarless excision. Any time you cut the skin, whether it's with scissors, a scalpel or a laser, there will be some form of scar left behind. You are trading a mole for a scar. If you see the right doctor and you are not prone to keloids or bad scars, you will likely have a very small mark (scar) in place of the mole and you will have to decide if the moles bother you enough to proceed. 
Good luck and I hope this answer was helpful.

First point, in my opinion, is that you should not have any flat dark mole lasered.   It's important to have a specimen to send to pathology to make sure that the mole is benign.  The last thing you want to do is have a melanoma blasted off your skin and not be aware of any spread that might be occurring.Then, seek out a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon for evaluation. They can advise whether a shave or excisional biopsy would give you the best result.
