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.

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.

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.

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.

How long does it take for freckles to fade after IPL?

Freckles and age spots after treatment generally turn darker for 3 to 7 days before they begin to fade. Crusting may occur, and can last up to 10 days.

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.

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.

Is it possible to lighten freckles?

Lastly, your dermatologist might recommend bleaching/fading creams containing hydroqui, which can slow down melanin production and light the skin’s overall tone. While these options cannot entirely eradicate all freckles, they can go a long way toward minimizing their appearance.
