Laser Freckle Removal FAQ in Russellville, AR

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.

Are my freckles permanent?

Freckles typically fade away with age and even seasons whereas sun spots tend to stick around longer. Because of this, sun spots can require skin treatments for removal. Are They Harmful? Fortunately, neither freckles or sun spots are harmful.

When should I worry about a freckle?

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.

Why am I developing freckles as I get older?

Age spots, also called sun spots, freckles or solar lentigines, occur as a response to sun exposure over time. They are collectively given the name “age spots” because they are visible when one is in one’s 40s or older. Age spots are dark permanent areas that do not fade away with time or with a change in season.

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 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.

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 laser on face harmful?

Potential risks of the procedure include: Burns or other injuries from the laser’s heat. Scarring. Changes in the skin’s pigmentation, including areas of darker or lighter skin.

What skin type is most likely to get freckles?

Freckles often show up during childhood, and you may continue to get more until you’re in your 20s. People with fair skin or red hair are most likely to have them. There are two types of freckles: ephelides and solar lentigines. Although both are flat spots, they’re different in a few ways.

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.

Is it pretty to have freckles?

Freckles are beautiful Some of the world’s most beautiful people also enjoy flaunting their freckles, so feel free to do the same.
