Who gets freckles?

Anybody can have freckled skin, but the colour of the specks may be lighter or darker depending on your hair and skin colour. People with red-coloured hair and fair skin are more likely to have freckles, but this is just one of many factors that affect whether skin freckles.

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 do I know if I have freckles or melanoma?

Border – melanomas usually have a notched or ragged border. Colours – melanomas will usually be a mix of 2 or more colours. Diameter – most melanomas are usually larger than 6mm in diameter. Enlargement or elevation – a mole that changes size over time is more likely to be a melanoma.

Does retinol get rid of freckles?

While freckles may seem very different from hyperpigmentation and dark spots, they are still caused by UV exposure at the end of the day. Using retinol and retinoid products increases cell turnover, thus lightening spots of all kinds, freckles included.

What purpose do freckles serve?

Dr. Lisa Arkin. Freckles are composed of an ingredient called melanin, which protects against damage caused by UV light. Your body makes melanin to protect itself from sun damage.

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.

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.

Can retinol remove freckles?

While freckles may seem very different from hyperpigmentation and dark spots, they are still caused by UV exposure at the end of the day. Using retinol and retinoid products increases cell turnover, thus lightening spots of all kinds, freckles included.

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).

Can a freckle turn into melanoma?

Normal moles, freckles, skin tags and lentigines are not skin cancers and they aren’t considered to be pre-cancerous. Moles don’t tend to “turn into” skin cancers. People with many moles (more than 100) have a higher risk of developing melanoma during their lifetime.

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.

Does pigmentation come back after laser?

Usually, pigmented lesions or spots that have been removed will not return after your laser treatments. However, there are various factors that can stimulate new hyperpigmentation e.g. exposure to UV, ageing, hormonal factors. Laser pigmentation removal treatments do not prevent new hyperpigmentation from occurring.
