Freckles Removal

Freckles are clusters of concentrated cells containing excess melanin (pigment) which are most visible on people with fair complexion but can occur on all skin types. Freckles are formed by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation in sunlight. In most cases, freckles are harmless. However, if your freckles are a cosmetic concern, they can be significantly reduced with our Q-Switched ND Yag Laser.

Procedure:

Usually, treatment involves firstly anaesthetizing the area to be treated with numbing cream. This helps to reduce the discomfort from the treatment. The Q-Switched ND Yag Laser is then systematically applied to the area to be treated. A snapping sensation is felt, as well as some heat. Immediately after the treatment, the freckles appear darker than normal, and the surrounding skin appears red and swollen. Ice packs or an air cooler are usually applied to the skin post-treatment to help reduce the amount of heat, swelling and redness.

Results:

After freckle laser treatment, freckles darken until after approximately one week where they will scab and peel off.

Sessions required:

Treatments are usually spaced at least one month apart, and normally one to two sessions are required, although more are required in some cases.
