Mole removal via Radio Frequency or Scalpel, which method would be better in my case? (Photo)

Question

I want to remove the mole on my face. almost everybody has told me that this mole is benign. Surgery by stitches scares me. The after scar is not good as well I am left with two options. Radio frequency shave excision or shave excision via Scalpel. Could the experts please guide me in detail the pros and cons of both the methods with specific to my case? Kindly at the bottom mention your choice of treatment in my case Thanks, Danny

Non-surgical mole removal is an excellent choice for benign raised moles on the face. I would consider Hyfrecation as an excellent first step. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

there are many ways to treat this, i personally like to do radiowave or laser/dessiccation before excision because the scars are much less.  There is always a chance of recurrence.
