Freckles Removal Treatment Options

Laser Treatment:  

Most commonly done procedure for freckles removal. It is done with Q-switch and Nd:YAG laser. These lasers precisely target the pigmented area without  damaging the surrounding area, thus safely eliminating freckles.

Chemical peels:  Medium-depth chemical peels like TCA or Glycolic acid peel effectively remove freckles. These peels penetrate beyond  superficial layers of skin. Slowly freckle layers start to peel away, generating new skin free of pigmentation and discoloration

Cryosurgery: This treatment involves the usage of liquid nitrogen to freeze and lightens the pigmented spots.

Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (IPL):  IPL is a light-based therapy for treating freckles. IPL uses high-intensity polychromatic light of various wavelengths to target pigmented areas. The light is more efficiently absorbed by darker areas of skin, which breaks down the excess melanin that forms freckles. Thus the adjacent skin areas are not affected. 

Sun Protection: The best way to prevent freckles is to apply a good amount of sunscreen which helps in the protection of the skin on a daily basis. It is advised to continue even after the recommended procedures. 

Topical Depigmenting Creams: Topical Creams containing kojic acid, arbutin, azelaic acid, etc. can be used to lighten the dark pigmented spots. These creams help to fade freckles if used on a regular basis along with sun protection.
