Laser Freckle Removal FAQ in Glenview, IL

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 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 come back after laser treatment?

Do freckles come back after laser treatment? Treated freckles usually do not come back after a laser treatment unless there is excessive exposure to UV rays without the use of any sun protection as that may trigger the appearance of new freckles.

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.

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.

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.

What are the side effects of laser?

Mild swelling around the hair follicles. Pigment changes may occur, especially in those with darker skin – these changes are usually temporary. Slight redness of the skin. Temporary irritation resulting in blistering, crusting, scarring or other changes in skin texture.

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.

Do freckles naturally go away?

Freckles May Fade Some people have freckles that fade away almost completely in the winter and return in the summer. Other people’s freckles don’t change much with or without the sun and can be seen year-round. Freckles also tend to fade as people get older.

Can laser make dark spots worse?

The hyperpigmentation associated with melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation may be worsened by laser treatment, as the heat and energy can cause the pigment itself to become further entrenched in the skin.

What freckles should I worry about?

Types of Moles A mole or freckle should be checked if it has a diameter of more than a pencil eraser or any characteristics of the ABCDEs of melanoma (see below). Dysplastic nevi are moles that are generally larger than average (larger than a pencil eraser) and irregular in shape.

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.

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.
