Burned mole. Not the proper way during laser hair removal, should I be concerned?

Question

So I went to go get hair laser removal and I have a small mole on my upper lip. The girl who performed my laser went over the area where my mole is at. My mole is burned and a little pieace came off. Should I be concerned I don't know if I should go see a doctor or if I'm just over reacting.

Yes, usually moles should be avoided during laser hair removal, but it won't have a negative impact on your mole. Keep in mind, it will take a series of treatments with laser hair removal. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Before performing laser a dark mole should be always covered and protected from the laser light since it can be easily burned. Lasers are medical devices and should only be used by medical personal and strictly supervised.
Good luck.
