Best treatment for indentation left after laser mole removal? (Photo)

Mole removal begins with a comprehensive examination and consultation to determine the likelihood of a mole being worrisome. Excisional and incisional biopsies are reserved for suspicious moles. But it’s good news that most moles are not problematic and are only cosmetic, thus leading to the option of scarless or non-surgical mole removal with lasers and RF and plasma. Our office specializes in non-surgical mole removal.

you should see an expert there are many options for this. I suggest pretreated with emeragecosmetics vivatia foam. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thanks for the photo. You did not say when the laser treatment was done. If it was done in the past few months, you may have some collagen formation in the next few months that will improve the appearance. If you would like to have something done more quickly, some options would be to fill this in with filler. I also like using a fractional laser to help stimulate natural collagen formation (but the results will take longer to be seen) since filler would have to be repeated periodically (like every year or so, while natural collagen lasts much longer). You could even have the fractional laser followed by the filler to help improve the appearance quickly but with the added benefit of collagen formation over time. Best wishes, Mary Beth Mudd
