Laser Freckle Removal FAQ in Syracuse, NY

Does freckle removal leave a scar?

Will I End up with a Scar? In the hands of a skilled and experienced provider, freckle removal treatments should not result in a scar. However, mole removal that requires shaving may lead to a white patch-like scar and is often reserved for less-visible areas like the back, arms, and legs.

Do brown 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.

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.

Is IPL for freckles permanent?

IPL can treat discoloration from acne, but it is not an effective treatment for the ongoing condition of acne. It is also not effective for removing freckles, since the pigment is much deeper and permanent.

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.

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.

Which vitamin is good for removing freckles?

Three of the best vitamins for lightening dark spots are vitamin C, vitamin B12, and vitamin E. Vitamin C helps your skin produce more collagen while inhibiting the formation of melanin. Vitamin B12 also promotes collagen formation while supporting the growth of new skin cells.

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.

Will freckles come back after laser removal?

Will my freckles or age spots come back after laser treatment? While the pigment that is removed by laser treatments does not return, new freckles or age spots can appear in the treatment area (or elsewhere). To make this less likely, it’s important to protect your skin from the sun as much as possible.

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.

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.

How to stop getting freckles?

Use a sunscreen with SPF (sun protection factor) 30 or above. Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours while you are out in the sun. Avoid stepping out when the sun’s rays are at their peak (10 am to 4 pm) Wear sun-protective clothing and hats.

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

After a few hours post treatment the redness will subside. During week one your dark spot will appear as dark brown “speckles,” and then will “flake off” during weeks 1-3. During weeks 1-3 you will notice your dark spot has significantly faded or has completely disappeared.
