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.

Is IPL for freckles permanent?

IPL can treat discoloration from acne, but it is not an effective treatment for the ongoing condition of acne. It is also not effective for removing freckles, since the pigment is much deeper and permanent.

Can dermatologist remove freckles?

To fade your freckles, your dermatologist may recommend: Laser Therapy: Effective for many pigmentation irregularities, laser therapy can zap away freckles as well. The lasers can fade the extra pigmentation, boost collagen production, and resurface the skin with new cells.

Does vitamin C fade freckles?

Vitamin C has skin brightening properties that can help reduce the appearance of freckles. However, you will need to apply vitamin C directly to the skin to achieve noticeable results.
