Laser Removal of a Flat and Black Beauty Mark Can Leave a Scar? If So, How Can It Be Removed?

November 25, 2012
Asked By:Gabriela Muglads

I have a flat, black and small beauty mark. It's in the right bottom side of my nose (just like Marilyn Monroe.) I don't like how it looks and i'm looking forward on removing it. I've read that the most efficient way of removing it is by laser treatment. But this beauty mark it's genetic because my dad had it, but he had it removed 20 yrs ago. Leaving a scar. And I just want to know if now laser removal may leave a scar on me too.
