Laser Freckle Removal FAQ in Sterling Heights, MI

Why laser is not good for dark skin?

For decades, women and men with skin of color have been discouraged from using laser treatments since darker skin tones are more prone to hyperpigmentation and skin damage when exposed to injury or inflammation.

What are the side effects of laser?

Mild swelling around the hair follicles. Pigment changes may occur, especially in those with darker skin – these changes are usually temporary. Slight redness of the skin. Temporary irritation resulting in blistering, crusting, scarring or other changes in skin texture.

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.

Does laser freckle removal leave scars?

In the hands of a skilled and experienced provider, freckle removal treatments should not result in a scar.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
