How is scalpel sculpting different from shave excision for mole removal?

random_person123
I was recently introduced to the idea of scalpel sculpting instead of laser mole removal. I have three small moles i want to removal, two flat on my cheek and one slightly raised on nose. I heard shave excision has high chance of scar but scalpel sculpting doesn't. what is the difference between these two that would affect scarring chances?
