Does it hurt to remove a mole?

Answered by a doctor

I have a small mole on my face and I decided to remove it because I think that it’s very ugly. I went to consult with dermatologist and she said to me that it’s possible to remove it if I want that. She suggested laser. Somebody with experience, tell me does it hurt to remove a mole?
