Laser Freckle Removal FAQ in Chesapeake, VA

Do freckles get bigger?

Your skin can develop new spots after sun exposure. Or an old freckle or mole that’s looked the same for years can suddenly change in size, shape or color. You have to be familiar with the spots on your skin to catch these changes.

Is removing freckles safe?

According to a 2015 study, the 1064 Q-Switched Nd YAG laser is effective for treating freckles. Study results showed treatment with this laser lightened more than 50 percent of freckles in 62 percent of participants. Laser treatment is generally safe. The risk of scarring is low.

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.

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.

How many laser treatments does it take to remove freckles?

After one to two laser sessions, most patients are able to remove their freckles.

Why am I developing freckles as I get older?

Age spots, also called sun spots, freckles or solar lentigines, occur as a response to sun exposure over time. They are collectively given the name “age spots” because they are visible when one is in one’s 40s or older. Age spots are dark permanent areas that do not fade away with time or with a change in season.

Do age spots come back after IPL?

Sometimes a specific brown spot that resolved with IPL treatment may come back months or years later. This does not mean the treatment did not work, but rather, the treatment worked and the spot returned due to aging and lifestyle factors, and it should respond well to another treatment.

Will freckles come back after laser removal?

Will my freckles or age spots come back after laser treatment? While the pigment that is removed by laser treatments does not return, new freckles or age spots can appear in the treatment area (or elsewhere). To make this less likely, it’s important to protect your skin from the sun as much as possible.

Does retinol get rid of freckles?

While freckles may seem very different from hyperpigmentation and dark spots, they are still caused by UV exposure at the end of the day. Using retinol and retinoid products increases cell turnover, thus lightening spots of all kinds, freckles included.

Can Apple cider vinegar remove a freckle?

Apple cider vinegar is one of the best options to get rid of dark spots and freckles. It contains malic acid that exfoliates dark skin cells and lightens the freckle. Vinegar reduces the hyper-pigmentation of any type and also improves the overall appearance of your skin.

How long does it take for freckles to fade after laser?

The darkened area typically begins to fade in 7 to 14 days. This is when you’ll also begin to notice that many superficial brown spots around the treated area are becoming lighter, and less noticeable. They won’t vanish with one IPL treatment, but in almost all cases patients will see progress.

Do brown spots come back after laser?

What to Expect After Laser Treatment. Redness and swelling are normal the day after your laser treatment. Then, within 4-7 days, these spots will begin to flake off like coffee grounds. Whether you choose IPL or a chemical peel, dark spots will come back in the sun.
