Laser Freckle Removal FAQ in Kihei, HI

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.

Do freckles get worse with age?

Freckles often fade or disappear with age, while solar lentigines become more common as people get older. You can help keep freckles from getting darker, and reduce the likelihood that more will appear, by taking steps to shield your skin from sunlight, especially during the summer months.

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 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.

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.

What should eat to reduce freckles?

Some of the best foods for glowing skin are green vegetables, fatty fish like salmon, strawberries, broccoli, and citrus fruits rich in vitamin C. When the skin suffers from hyperpigmentation problems such as melasma, freckles, sun spots and hyperpigmentation, diet can play a role in the treatment.

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.

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.

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 a suspicious freckle?

ABCDE of Melanoma: A for Asymmetry – the mole is not symmetrical. B for Border – the border of a freckle/mole is suspicious. C for Color – there is a variation in color within the spot or compared to other moles/freckles. D for Diameter – the mole is larger than 6mm in diameter.

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 causes freckles on face?

How do freckles develop? Freckles are the result of an overproduction of melanin. Melanin is a pigment that gives your hair, skin and eyes (your “complexion”) its color. Melanin, produced by skin cells called melanocytes, protects your skin from sun damage by absorbing and reflecting ultraviolet light (UV).

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.

What to expect after laser freckle removal?

Immediately after treatment you will notice a reddening of the skin and a darkening of your freckles. The reddening will start to subside within three hours and over the following few days the pigmentation will rise to the surface of the skin and be removed via normal dead skin cell shedding.
