Freckle Removal

Maintain Even-Toned, Radiant Skin

Freckles are incredibly common, with over 1.5 billion people estimated to have them worldwide. However, they can also be a cosmetic concern for many patients. Professional freckle removal at Ohara Dermatology allows patients to restore a more even skin tone that makes them look and feel their best.

What Are Freckles?

Freckles are tiny, localized dark spots where the skin overproduces melanin. Most importantly, they are harmless and do not point to any health condition. People with fairer skin colors tend to develop noticeable freckles after sun exposure . However, anyone can develop them, and many individuals may not like how they make their skin look.

What Does the Treatment Entail?

Each patient’s treatment process will vary slightly due to the tailored nature of treatment. However, a general outline usually includes:

A complete evaluation of your skin and medical history to match you with the best treatment option.
Coming into the office for your first treatment session. This can take between 30 and 60 minutes for most patients. But it can vary, depending on the treatment type.
Letting your skin heal from the treatment (about 1 to 2 weeks for most patients).
Returning to the office for your next session after about 1 month.
Finishing your treatment regimen and seeing your final results.

Treatment Results

Each treatment type creates gradual improvements in your skin. Seeing full results may require more than one treatment session, especially for darker freckles.

After 2 to 4 treatments, patients can expect to see a significant reduction in freckle visibility. Many patients will see extremely clear skin and even skin that fully matches their goals. Even patients with darker freckles will see notable improvements, though significantly dark ones may not entirely disappear.
