2 months post radio-frequency mole removal, will the texture/color normalize over time or am I left with a scar?

Alessi
About 2 months ago I had radiofrequency mole removal. The wound healed without a scab. I used petroleum jelly to keep it moist and did not expose it to the sun. Now, where the mole once was, have a slightly elevated, shiny patch of skin that is not quite normal-looking in both texture and color versus the surrounding healthy skin. It doesn't look too bad but it's definitely noticeable. Will the texture/color normalize over time? Is this a scar? My doctor will not tell me what settings he used.
