Intense Pulsed Light Therapy
Intense pulsed light (IPL) devices emit multiple wavelengths of light to target the melanin (the primary pigment) in freckles without harming nearby skin. IPL is especially effective for larger areas with many freckles, such as the face, chest, or arms.
Most people need a few sessions for the best results. After your appointment, the skin may be slightly red or sensitive, but it usually heals quickly.
Palomar Laser Skin Resurfacing
Palomar laser skin resurfacing is a powerful option for freckle removal that combines intense pulsed light and fractional laser technology. IPL targets and breaks up pigment in freckles, while the fractional laser stimulates new skin cell growth.
This dual approach fades unwanted spots and reveals clearer, more even-toned skin over time. It’s a safe, non-invasive solution with minimal downtime. It provides lasting results when performed by a trained practitioner like those at First OC Dermatology.
PicoSure®
PicoSure is an advanced laser therapy that helps remove freckles by delivering ultra-short energy pulses to break down coloring without damaging surrounding skin. Its fast-pulse technology precisely targets melanin, allowing the body to clear it away over time.
PicoSure is gentle, effective for all skin types, and requires little to no downtime. This makes it a popular choice for fading freckles and improving overall skin clarity.
