Yes, moles can be removed with laser, radiowave or shave. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

I would suggest visiting a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss options for removal.  The first suggestion may be to do a shave removal where the mole is shaved off even at skin level.  This will most likely leave a pink scar that should fade with time (but does not guarantee the mole will not grow back).  Another option would be an excision of the mole but that would produce a larger scar at the site.  The physician you see should be able to talk you through your choices as well as providing you information about cost and recovery.  Best wishes.
