FRECKLE TREATMENT

Are these precancerous?

People commonly refer to this facial pigmentation as freckles. the pigment arises from sun exposure to the face. Lighter skin individuals are at most risk for this response to ultra violet skin damage. Anyone with significant ultra violet exposure is a greater risk for skin cancer and should be examined by a qualified physician.

How do I bleach them out?

There are some prescription creams that may help to fade the pigment over time. One of the more effective means of reducing the facial pigmentation is to use intense pulsed light. The treatment takes less than 30 minutes and is quite affordable. Individuals may choose to space treatments one month apart until they are pleased with the result. After each treatment it is important to use a high quality sunscreen to protect the renewed skin from further damage.

THANKS FOR THE GREAT QUESTIONS PH!
