Were you known as the cute, “freckle-faced kid” in school? While you may have loved your freckles then, now, maybe not so much. Freckles are common on sun-exposed skin and often hereditary, especially in people with fairer skin types. Many notice them in childhood, and they can last a lifetime. The good news is—you don’t have to live with them if you don’t want to.
Freckles are caused by tiny clusters of pigmented cells containing melanin near the skin’s surface. They commonly appear on the face, shoulders, arms, and back but can show up anywhere that’s exposed to the sun. While freckles aren’t dangerous, they are a pigment issue that can be treated and removed with medical lasers.
One of the most effective options for freckle removal is laser treatment. Q-switched lasers, for example, are FDA-approved and designed to break up pigment cells, helping restore your natural, even skin tone.
These lasers work by delivering energy in the form of shockwaves to the pigmented cells, breaking them into smaller fragments that your body naturally clears away. Treatments are generally safe, require no downtime, and can be completed over a series of sessions depending on the number and extent of your freckles.
If you want to address both freckles and signs of aging, laser resurfacing with an erbium laser is an excellent choice. This procedure removes damaged or pigmented skin while stimulating collagen production. Because it is a more powerful treatment, some downtime is required, but it effectively treats sun damage, wrinkles, and freckles in one session.
