any time an incision is made in the skin there is a risk of scarring. some people are more prone to keloids (overgrown collagen after wounds in the skin that lead to raised firm scars which can be itchy and unsightly). i rarely recommend lasers for removal of moles since this removes the pigment but makes them more difficult to follow for change which is important in evaluation of skin cancer.
i have moles on my face and i would love to have them removed will they leave scars?
