How To Get Rid Of Freckles With Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Freckles are harmless dark spots that appear on the surface of the skin due to sun exposure. Among the many treatment options, the laser treatments are the most effective and have longer lasting effects. 
However, prior to getting the freckles removed, you need to get these checked by a dermatologist, to make sure they are freckles not other manifestations of skin cancer or skin diseases. There are multiple laser skin resurfacing treatments available, and these will remove the melanin pigment that causes freckles. 
In this procedure, laser is used for burning the blood vessels underneath the freckles to remove them or lighten their appearance significantly. Laser therapy does not lead to any serious side effects, but can cause temporary redness, swelling and bruising after the procedure.
Fraxel is an excellent laser that helps patients with freckles, sun damage, wrinkles and mild to moderate skin damage. These techniques employ laser beams and non ablative co2 fractional laser to resurface the skin and reduce the appearance of freckles. The treatment will target small areas of the skin at a time. Collagen production will also be activated, so not only will the freckles be removed, but the skin will also get a fresher and younger appearance.
Fractional co2 laser resurfacing is similar to Fraxel and will eliminate freckles and other scars or age spots, but will also reduce wrinkles.
intense pulsed light (IPL) will project brief light pulses into the surface and deeper skin levels, improving the look of the skin and also removing freckles. The treatment administers heat, which will activate the collagen production and reduce wrinkling.
Ablative lasers remove the superficial layers of skin, so the freckles will also be removed. There are 2 types of ablative lasers: CO2 Lasers and erbium laser resurfacing. However, the ablative lasers are aggressive and the recovery time can be over 1 month, so these methods are rarely chosen for freckles.
Laser treatment can remove your freckles permanently. So if you have tried many different methods before and your freckles are stubborn and keep coming back, laser freckle removal may be just right for you.
