Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Depending of the type of the lesion (mole like or not), it might be removed with laser or classic incision. Lesions can be removed with laser (especially that small) if there is no need to diagnose it by histopathologist (moles needs to be verified by a histopathologist). SO if its a mole, it needs to be removed in the classic way and stitches left.
In both cases, the scar should not be visible. Face is the area where the healing is very fast especially if its about younger persons.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
