How to make pigmentation less noticeable after mole shave off? (Photo)

May 31, 2022
Asked By:Terry2002

Hi, I had a mole removal by shave off technique two years ago. There is still some redness and I’m not sure what to do to make it less noticeable… I did one treatment with a laser pigmentation and it got lighter. Should I continue other laser treatments or should I get it removed by excision? I don’t want to have a big scar. Thank you.
