Laser or a shave excision to remove a mole? It seems the laser method is less frequently done? Any advice?

Question

I'd like to get rid of a Mole under my chin. I have found two practitioners that I'm interested in. One of them offers the shave excision method and the other laser.

It the mole under your chin is raised, I would recommend shave excision to remove it.  If the mole is flat, then I would suggest excision.

The best method can be determined by a formal examination of the mole. Generally shave excision is far more accurate than laser excision which is not as predicatable.

Dennis Gross, MD · Answer

Hello!My advice would be to have a doctor look at the mole in person to decided whether shave or laser excision is best.
