Asked By:RS6009 in Los Angeles, CA

Hi I'm in the midst of getting my mole removed by laser. I have to come back every two weeks for sessions. I was wondering if it was ok to use silicone gel to help with the redness/scarring? How is it looking so far by the way??? I'm very anxious so any responses would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
