FRECKLE & PIGMENTATION

Treatments of Freckles:

The effective treatments for freckles are as:

  1. Cryosurgery: A light freeze with liquid nitrogen can be used to treat freckles.
  2. Chemical Peels: Chemical peels are used to remove age spots, freckles, discoloration, wrinkles and fine lines. They generally help to make the skin smooth and firm and also help in curing freckles gradually.
  3. Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (IPL): IPL is one of the newer forms of facial rejuvenation. IPL delivers energy to both the superficial (epidermis) and deep (dermis) layers of the skin, the epidermis is spared from damage. Thus, there is virtually no recovery time or down time
  4. Tretinoin: Tretinoin (vitamin A acid, Retin-A) also helps to make freckles lighter when applied over a period of time.
  5. Laser Treatment: Freckle can be removed with lasers. The laser light is very effective and helps in eliminating freckles safely but takes multiple sittings. Q-switch laser has been found to be very effective.
