I had radio frequency 1 week ago to smooth out edges from previous mole removals on my face (via shave excision). No deep cutting of the dermis was involved. I want to start dermarolling to even out the tone and texture after these heal but I don't want to cause worse damage. I am also using silicone scar sheets at night on the spots where the scabs have fallen off and I am awaiting an RX for PracaSil silicone gel. How long should I wait to start dermarolling and what length needles are advised?

Answer: See a Cosmetic Dermatologist for Mole Removal After Care--lasers, microneedling/prp
It looks like that mole would be successfully removed by cutting it flush with the skin (shave removal). To get it to heal nicely, it often helps to blend the edges with light electrodessication or laser. No stitches would be required.
