Mole removed by laser, is the scar indented or have parts of the mole been left? (Photo)

Asked By:leeaah97 in England, United Kingdom

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?

Answer: Recommend doing a resurfacing laser on it to even out skin texture and tone caused by scarring from the removal.
