Will freckles come back after laser removal?

Will my freckles or age spots come back after laser treatment?

To make this less likely, it’s important to protect your skin from the sun as much as possible.

How long do permanent freckles last?

Just like any other permanent makeup or cosmetic tattoo procedure, on average freckles will last between one and three years.

Are freckles genetic or sun damage?

Although freckles are hereditary, they are activated by sun exposure. If someone that has the freckle gene (MC1R), they must spend time in the sun in order to produce freckles. A person without the freckles genes will not produce freckles regardless of if they are in the sun or not.

How many IPL treatments does it take to get rid of freckles?

You may need three to five IPL treatments before the results are complete.

Does vitamin E remove freckles?

Add Nutrients To Your Skin While Lightening Freckles: Vitamin E oil not just blurs spots quick, it contains supplements that saturate your skin and keep it sound.
