I have been looking to get laser mole removal due to a few small, dark colored moles on my face. However I am concerned about the risks of scarring after laser treatment. I have heard the pico lasers are better but am still concerned about scarring and if I had either hypo/hyperpigmentation is there anything I could do (topical) to treat if I scarred after laser?
