I’ve spent years in the sun, and have formed freckles as a result. How can I get rid of them?
YES! But before we explain how, we’ll go in depth about what causes freckles.
Excessive sun exposure is the main culprit behind premature aging as it causes skin discoloration, fine lines, wrinkles, and, yes, even freckles.
WHAT ARE FRECKLES?
Freckles are small brown spots usually found on the face, chest, and arms. Freckles are extremely common—and luckily they aren’t a health threat. They are more often seen in the summer, especially among lighter-skinned people and people with light or red hair. Freckles are often caused by genetics and exposure to the sun.
As with many skin conditions, it’s best to avoid the sun as much as possible. This is especially important because people who freckle easily (for example, skin-types one to three), are more likely to develop skin cancer.
To avoid freckling, use a sunscreen with SPF 50 or higher. Sunscreen is one of the keys to radiant, youthful-looking skin. Daily use may even lower your long-term risk of skin cancer. By reducing your daily sun exposure, sunscreen allows your skin time to heal and your immune system the chance to repair some existing damage.
HOW TO TREAT SUN DAMAGE:
These two cosmetic dermatological treatments that can reverse visible signs of freckles.
Clear + Brilliant
Clear + Brilliant rejuvenates the skin from the inside out using a non-invasive diode laser. Compared with similar laser treatments, Clear + Brilliant procedures require little recovery time and boast a lower risk of complications. Its non-invasive laser technology gently resurfaces the top layer of the dermis by creating millions of microscopic treatment zones in the skin, replacing damaged skin with healthy, younger-looking tissue.
The result? Smoother, softer and youthful-looking skin. And the best part is that Clear + Brilliant significantly reduces the appearance of freckles and superficial brown spots.
Almost all patients who undergo Clear + Brilliant treatments report their skin looks younger and feels smoother, achieving a noticeable glow after a series of three to six Clear + Brilliant treatments.
IPL Photo Facials
Photo facials use light therapy to boost collagen production and primarily remove unwanted brown spots, freckles, broken blood vessels, and sun damage. Compared to other skin rejuvenation techniques results obtained with IPL photo facials are superior, and the procedure itself significantly gentler. Skin rejuvenation techniques such as chemical peels tend to generate stinging and burning. This means you’ll have a few days of recovery! With photo facials, however, you can return to work the same day as treatment.
IPL photo facials work by using a broad-spectrum light source that penetrates multiple layers of skin. This type of photo facial primarily targets the pigment of skin (dermis) while leaving the top layers of skin (epidermis) unaffected. The heat generated from the light promotes healing of the skin within, treating a number of different dermatological issues like freckles.
You can expect outstanding results with IPL photo facials. IPL treatments call for three to six treatment sessions spaced four weeks apart to see an appreciable difference. In some cases those results can be seen after only the first treatment! And skin continues to improve with each successive treatment, so you can kiss those freckles good-bye in no time!
