Laser Freckle Removal FAQ in Norwood, MA

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.

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.

Is it possible to lighten freckles?

Lastly, your dermatologist might recommend bleaching/fading creams containing hydroquinone, 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.

How long does it take for brown spots to fall off after laser?

Laser treatments are effective at removing brown spots due to sun damage. As the laser passes through the skin, brown pigment absorbs the light preferentially. This creates a dark brown scab that falls off over the following 1-week (for faces) and 2-3 weeks (for hands or body), taking the brown spot with it.

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.

Do brown spots come back after laser?

What to Expect After Laser Treatment. Redness and swelling are normal the day after your laser treatment. Then, within 4-7 days, these spots will begin to flake off like coffee grounds. Whether you choose IPL or a chemical peel, dark spots will come back in the sun.

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.

Can dark 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.

What naturally removes freckles?

Lemon juice: Apply lemon juice directly to your skin with a cotton ball, and then wash it off. Honey: Combine honey with salt or sugar to make a scrub. Buttermilk: Apply buttermilk directly to your skin. Sour cream: Apply sour cream directly to your skin, and then wash it off after a few minutes.

Can IPL make brown spots worse?

What are the common side effects of IPL? The most common (and expected) side effect is a darkening of the more superficial brown spots of the areas being treating. This darkening of superficial brown spots will flake off after about 7-14 days.

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.
