I had a mole removed recently using an urbium laser. At first it healed really well but now I’ve been left with an indent. When looking closer I’m not sure if the scar is indented or if there’s actually just mole left behind around the edges as it looks slightly brownish coloured rather than pink like the rest of the scar. Do I need a further laser treatment for the edges or should I leave the scar longer to heal?
