In a week I am getting a pigmented raised facial mole removed with a radiofrequency device. I would just like to know how likely it is to grow back or for the pigment to reappear? and how long it will take to heal? I have been told 1 week but I am not sure if it will be fully healed in 1 week. Thanks for the help!
