Clear mole on upper lip line removal, is shaving it off scar? (Photo)

Question

i saw a Dermatologist PA-C that told me he can shave it off. Will the scar be less noticeable than the mole itself? Its pretty small, I'm worried about a depressed scar. Thanks

The best solution for a benign nevus / mole is the DOT CO2 laser. It leaves virtually no scar and heals quickly. No stitching needed! Best,

Normally, the scar produced from shaving off a raised mole is less noticeable than the mole itself.  The scar produced is also dependent on the person performing the procedure however.
