If you have consulted a dermatologist carefully, most of the results for freckle removal are laser freckle removal.

1. Will laser freckle removal hurt?

The most common spots clinically include freckles and chloasma. Laser freckle removal is a selective photothermal solution that can penetrate the skin directly to the melanocyte layer, destroying pigments and pigment particles without causing damage to normal skin tissue. Some patients who are sensitive to pain can apply topical anesthetics 30 minutes to 1 hour before treatment. There is basically no obvious pain during the treatment.

2. How long does laser freckle removal take?

The treatment time for laser pigmentation removal is relatively short, only about ten minutes at most. After each treatment, the skin needs to be given a metabolic process. For this reason, the interval between laser pigmentation removal treatments is mostly 3 months. Depending on the size, number and depth of the pigment and vascular lesions, some treatments may achieve the desired effect in one or two times, but generally four to six treatments are required to completely solve the problem.

3. The pain of laser freckle removal

Pigmented spots are generally pigment deposits formed after birth. Laser removal of pigmented spots can help patients with pigmented spots realize their dream of removing pigmented spots. Moreover, after long-term practice, laser removal of pigmented spots has become very safe and effective. The principle of laser pigmentation removal is that different types of lasers produce light of different colors, and laser light of a certain wavelength is only absorbed by pigments of the corresponding color. Therefore, plastic surgery institutions use lasers to generate high-intensity light beams to fade the pigmentation in order to achieve the purpose of removing pigmentation spots. Moreover, only diseased cells absorb specific lasers, while normal skin tissue will not be damaged, so laser removal of pigmentation will not leave scars. During the operation, the patient will feel a pricking sensation and no anesthetic is needed.
