Possibilities of scarring (hypopigmentation and hyperpigmentation) after laser mole removal?

January 15, 2023
Asked By:random_person123 in Young, Arizona

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? I am a teenage female and don't want to look worse after. I am also asian so I know scarring is more common.
