Laser Freckle Removal FAQ in Deerfield, IL

Can freckles go cancerous?

Freckles are noncancerous, but they may be confused with skin cancer. Excessive sun exposure is a risk factor for both freckles and melanomas. Melanoma is more common in people with fair skin or freckles than in those with dark skin.

Do freckles grow back?

Freckles can appear over a large area of skin and can reappear or become darker in the summer months. Freckles often fade or disappear in the winter months, when new skin cells replace old 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.

Can too much laser damage skin?

Lasers can harm the skin via photochemical or thermal burns. Depending on the wavelength, the beam may penetrate both the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis is the outermost living layer of skin.

Can retinol remove 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.

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.

What nationality has freckles?

While it’s true that such a mutation in people of Celtic heritage causes the stereotypical dot-dot-dots in fair redheads, variations of the MC1R gene lead to freckles in Chinese, Japanese, French, Mediterranean, Israeli, and certain African ethnic groups as well, explains Sharma.

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.

Does laser freckle removal leave scars?

In the hands of a skilled and experienced provider, freckle removal treatments should not result in a scar.

What happens if you laser a freckle?

Many freckles are often removed after just one session, and even persistent freckles can fade into obscurity after repeated sessions. Laser treatment will remove your freckles, but long term, new freckles can appear if you’re not careful in the sun.

What is the best laser treatment for freckles?

Green laser light is particularly effective on brown spots and freckles. The reason green light works so well at removing brown spots is because melanin pigment is designed to block light with short wavelengths, namely ultraviolet light, which is shorter than any visible color of light.

How to stop getting freckles?

Use a sunscreen with SPF (sun protection factor) 30 or above. Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours while you are out in the sun. Avoid stepping out when the sun’s rays are at their peak (10 am to 4 pm) Wear sun-protective clothing and hats.
