Laser Freckle Removal FAQ in Yuma, AZ

Can dark freckles be removed?

If your freckles are determined to be benign, they can be removed by treatments including lasers, peels, or prescription topical creams or a combination depending on the kind of freckles you have and your skin type.

Do freckles go away with age?

Natural freckles don’t need treatment. They aren’t a sign of a skin problem. As you get older, they may get lighter on their own or go away entirely, depending on what type of freckle they are. If you don’t like how your freckles look, treatments can help fade them.

What removes freckles permanently?

Can freckles be permanently removed? Laser treatments are designed to permanently remove your freckles. Most people only require one treatment to achieve this, but others may require multiple treatments. However, this procedure does not prevent you from developing more freckles in the future due to sun damaged skin.

How painful is laser freckle removal?

Is it painful? To get really good results, the freckle removal treatment has to be reasonably painful. Most patients would give it a rating of 6-7 out of 10 on the pain scale. Some doctors like to use topical anaesthetics, eg emla, but we don’t use emla with laser pigmentation and freckle removal.

What is a suspicious freckle?

ABCDE of Melanoma: A for Asymmetry – the mole is not symmetrical. B for Border – the border of a freckle/mole is suspicious. C for Color – there is a variation in color within the spot or compared to other moles/freckles. D for Diameter – the mole is larger than 6mm in diameter.

How does laser freckle removal work?

Laser freckle removal targets the melanin in your skin. It absorbs the pigmentation inside of the freckles. It breaks up the pigments of melanin. The freckles will be removed when the skin naturally exfoliates itself.

Can I lighten my freckles?

Your dermatologist may recommend a deep chemical peel to fade your freckles. Topical Creams: Topical products like retinoids can help reduce the appearance of sun-damaged skin. There are also products available to fade freckles and other pigmentation issues.

What is the best laser to remove brown spots?

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) IPL is a great treatment to target dark spots. IPL uses multiple wavelengths to treat brown pigmentation and age spots. Common areas include hands, neck, chest, and face. IPL targets melanin-making cells without harming the surface of the skin.

Why laser is not good for dark skin?

For decades, women and men with skin of color have been discouraged from using laser treatments since darker skin tones are more prone to hyperpigmentation and skin damage when exposed to injury or inflammation.

Can a freckle turn into melanoma?

Normal moles, freckles, skin tags and lentigines are not skin cancers and they aren’t considered to be pre-cancerous. Moles don’t tend to “turn into” skin cancers. People with many moles (more than 100) have a higher risk of developing melanoma during their lifetime.

How long does it take for brown spots to fade after laser?

After a few hours post treatment the redness will subside. During week one your dark spot will appear as dark brown “speckles,” and then will “flake off” during weeks 1-3. During weeks 1-3 you will notice your dark spot has significantly faded or has completely disappeared.

How long does it take for brown spots to fall off after laser?

Laser treatments are effective at removing brown spots due to sun damage. As the laser passes through the skin, brown pigment absorbs the light preferentially. This creates a dark brown scab that falls off over the following 1-week (for faces) and 2-3 weeks (for hands or body), taking the brown spot with it.
