I like radiofrequency. Shaving causes a raw spot and takes 7-10 days to heal.

Depending on the size of the mole, there are different ways to remove it. One can burn or freeze it off. Or, if it is larger and has "roots" that grow into different layers of the skin, the surgeon might cut it out and use sutures to close the incision.
