Laser Freckle Removal FAQ in Hot Springs National Park, AR
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.
Can large freckles be removed?
If your freckles are determined to be benign, they can be removed by treatments including lasers, peels, or prescription topical creams or a combination depending on the kind of freckles you have and your skin type.
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.
How long do permanent freckles last?
Just like any other permanent makeup or cosmetic tattoo procedure, on average freckles will last between one and three years.
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.
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.
How can you tell if new freckles are cancerous?
Changing mole. Spot that looks like a new mole, freckle, or age spot, but it looks different from the others on your skin. Spot that has a jagged border, more than one color, and is growing. Dome-shaped growth that feels firm and may look like a sore, which may bleed.
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.
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.
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.
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.
