Laser Treatment For Freckles Removal

A Freckle or Brown spots is a macules, pigmented fleck found on the skin, most frequently the face, chest, forearms, and back of the hands. Anti freckle creams and topical retinoids might work if the pigment deposits are close to the surface of the skin. If they are deeper, they are harder to remove with the use of such creams and ointments. The good news is, freckles are easy to treat with lasers, and can produce exceptional results after just a single treatment. 
laser resurfacing treatment for freckle removal work by emitting heat and light energy onto the pigmented spots on the skin’s surface. The light can penetrate to a depth of only 1mm, which protects the underlying organs from any damage. The energy from the laser is absorbed by oxyhemoglobin and melanin, causing the complete breakdown of the darker cells while leaving healthier cells alone. The light is directed onto the skin for only a few minutes, and the patient is required to wear protective eyewear throughout the entire procedure.
The laser skin resurfacing breaks apart all of the damaged skin cells and the skin begins to peel shortly after the treatment. As the skin peels, the discolored spots and damaged skin cells fall away on their own and the darker sports will begin to fade, before they disappear. Darker spots may need to be retreated with another round of laser sessions.
There are now several highly effective laser treatments. The q-switched ruby and other pigmented lesion lasers often remove pigment without scarring. A test spot in an inconspicuous place will need to be done as they sometimes make things worse instead of better. Intense pulsed light has a similar effect. co2 fractional laser and Erbium:YAG lasers vaporize the surface skin thus removing the pigmented lesions. 
Results are variable but sometimes very impressive with minimal risk of scarring. With superficial resurfacing techniques, there is minimal discomfort and no down-time but several treatments are often necessary. Facial skin is more delicate and using laser treatment for freckles on the face might cause some discomfort to the affected person.
Unfortunately the treatment occasionally makes the pigmentation worse. Continued careful sun protection is essential, because the pigmentation is likely to recur next summer. Unsightly benign skin moles may be removed using traditional surgical techniques (excision biopsy or with a resurfacing laser.
