Freckles
Freckles are small, flat, pigmented spots caused by an overproduction of melanin in response to sun exposure. They are most common in individuals with fair skin but can appear on any skin type. While freckles are harmless, some patients seek treatment for cosmetic reasons or to achieve a more even skin tone. Modern laser and peel treatments can selectively target pigment while preserving surrounding skin, offering minimal downtime and effective results.
Recommended treatments
Pico Laser
Pico laser technology delivers ultra-short pulses of laser energy that shatter pigment particles into tiny fragments, which the body gradually clears away. This precision makes it highly effective for freckles, with minimal risk of heat damage or scarring. Pico lasers are safe for a wider range of skin tones compared to older technologies and usually require 1–3 sessions for optimal clearance.
Peels
Chemical peels work by exfoliating the skin’s surface layers, encouraging the removal of pigmented cells and stimulating healthy skin regeneration. For freckles, gentle to medium-depth peels can help fade pigmentation gradually, often in combination with sun protection and pigment-inhibiting skincare for long-term prevention.
