A member asked:

I have non-cancerous moles on face, and i want to remove. which procedure won't leave scars: cryogenic mole removal or radio-frequency mole removal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Plastic Surgeon: They all can produce a scar. You want to remove the mole in its entirety to make sure the entire lesion is benign. Get a plastic surgeon to do it if you want to minimize potential scaring. Best wishes.
