The wound is like a shallow graze. Initially it is covered with a small Band-aid type dressing. The skin heals in around one week. It will be slightly pink for a few weeks before settling down. Some moles and warts will heal with virtually no scar at all, others may have a slight area of decreased pigmentation. There is said to be a slight recurrence rate of the mole in some people. These patients usually opt for the same treatment rather than having an excision with a scar.
NB: Asprin, Nurofen, Vitamin E, Chinese herbal medication and blood thinning medications tend to significantly risk bruising. They should not be taken for one week prior to and one week after facial plastic surgery.
