I had a mole removed with IPL - laser 3 weeks ago and the scar seems to have sunken in to form a degression or a small hole. Should I apply regular vaseline, aloe gel or La Rouches Cicaplast (said to speed up recovery and promote collagen cell growth) to this area now? Or does Cicaplast work as to shrink scars therby sinking mine down even more?

Hello and thanks you for your question. Looks to me like you have a superficial burn from the IPL. it may scar or may take a bit longer to heal. Stay out of the sun and protect your burned skin. My question is why would the technician treat your scar with this technology, why not use a smller...
I suggest waxing or electrolysis to get the best results, over shaving. Please see an expert in lasers for an in person consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.
I suggest alternating V-Beam with your treatments. I use IPL combined with the V-Beam for cases such as yours. I also might prescribe you Mirvaso to decrease your facial redness. Best to consult a Dermatologist with experience treating Rosacea. Best, Dr. Green
