Laser Freckle Removal FAQ in Franklin, MI
Why laser is not good for dark skin?
For decades, women and men with skin of color have been discouraged from using laser treatments since darker skin tones are more prone to hyperpigmentation and skin damage when exposed to injury or inflammation.
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.
Are permanent freckles moles?
Freckles and moles are two different types of skin growths. Freckles occur as a result of sun exposure or genetics, whereas moles appear after skin cells develop into a cluster instead of spreading out into the skin.
Can you remove a freckle at home?
Lemon Juice Lemons are rich in vitamin E and C and antioxidants. Just mix a few drops of fresh lemon juice with honey and apply to the freckled area. Leave it on for 15 minutes, and repeat this twice a week to remove brown spots and age spots.
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.
Can I lighten my freckles?
Your dermatologist may recommend a deep chemical peel to fade your freckles. Topical Creams: Topical products like retinoids can help reduce the appearance of sun-damaged skin. There are also products available to fade freckles and other pigmentation issues.
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.
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 much does it cost to get rid of freckles?
The pricing could be from $500 on up, again depending what laser would work best for your needs. I’d recommend seeing a laser surgeon for a full consultation and get an estimate.
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.
Do freckles get darker after IPL?
Individual pigmented spots may appear to darken immediately following an IPL treatment, but they will fade away over time. Your skin may appear red or slightly swollen immediately after treatment, but these symptoms usually disappear the same or next day. You’ll be able to resume normal activities right away.
