Laser Freckle Removal FAQ in Des Moines, IA

Are my freckles permanent?

Freckles typically fade away with age and even seasons whereas sun spots tend to stick around longer. Because of this, sun spots can require skin treatments for removal. Are They Harmful? Fortunately, neither freckles or sun spots are harmful.

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. Eating Your Way to Fewer Freckles: Vitamin C (citrus extract) in your eating routine helps your skin, pretty much as it does when you apply it to your face.

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.

Do brown 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.

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.

What do malignant freckles look like?

The edges are irregular, ragged, notched, or blurred. The color is not the same all over and may include shades of brown or black, sometimes with patches of pink, red, white, or blue. The spot is larger than ¼ inch across – about the size of a pencil eraser – although melanomas can sometimes be smaller than this.

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.

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

Freckles and age spots after treatment generally turn darker for 3 to 7 days before they begin to fade. Crusting may occur, and can last up to 10 days.

Can IPL make brown spots worse?

What are the common side effects of IPL? The most common (and expected) side effect is a darkening of the more superficial brown spots of the areas being treating. This darkening of superficial brown spots will flake off after about 7-14 days.

Does freckle removal leave a scar?

Will I End up with a Scar? In the hands of a skilled and experienced provider, freckle removal treatments should not result in a scar. However, mole removal that requires shaving may lead to a white patch-like scar and is often reserved for less-visible areas like the back, arms, and legs.

Is it possible to lighten freckles?

Lastly, your dermatologist might recommend bleaching/fading creams containing hydroquinone, which can slow down melanin production and light the skin’s overall tone. While these options cannot entirely eradicate all freckles, they can go a long way toward minimizing their appearance.
