A beautician accidentally lasered over my beauty spot, will it come back? (Photo)

Question

I had a Marilyn Munroe beauty spot above my lip (had it since i was 4 years old) I recently did laser hair removal and specifically said do not laser it as i do not want it to be removed. After laser it turned into a scab and has fallen off. I'm so upset, it’s been my trademark since i was very little and my mum has one in the exact same spot. Will it come back? The laser they used is called Candela.

Laser hair removal works on the principle of selective photo thermostats which mean the laser light targets pigmented areas typically the hair. The same lasers can be used to remove sun spots or pigmented lesions. It is unlikely that the beauty mark is removed but it may appear a little bit lighter. If it is a raised beauty mark like a mole then it should have little effect. It should be fine. You will know in a few weeksall the bestDr Soni
