I have a black mole on my upper lip. It has lot of hairs growing over it. I would like to get laser hair removal done on my mole. Will it change the colour and size of my mole?

Answer: Laser hair removal Hair growing from a mole on lip is best treated with removal of the mole. Laser hair removal of a mole may be less successful as the mole itself will absorb away lot of the energy which means your hair follicle is less likely to be targeted. You may notice some benefit however there is a risk that the hair can grow back anytime. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MD Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Laser hair removal Hi thank you for your question. No, it will not change the color or size of your mole. Although because there is melanin in the mole it may be more sensitive in that area and may need more treatments. Hope this helps. LOA- Lake Oswego Vein & Aesthetic
