Many people view freckles as cute and charming. The fortunate news about this skin condition is that, unlike most, it is harmless and doesn’t come with any negative health issues. However, some would prefer to live without freckles nonetheless.

If you have freckles or other pigmentation marks on your skin, we can help. We offer a range of treatment options for improving the texture and tone of your skin. Our options include the Morpheus8 and enlighten® PICO Genesis laser. If you’re interested in learning more, schedule a free consultation at one of our Massachusetts offices today.

Why Do I Have Freckles?

Freckles are a result of harmless melanin overproduction. Melanin is a polymer responsible for skin and hair color (pigmentation). When your skin comes in contact with sun exposure, brown spots and hyperpigmentation are soon to follow, especially with sun damage. In some cases, that exposure causes small dots to form on the skin instead. Some people may have pale, freckled skin, while others may have darker-looking dots. These freckles are made up of a cluster of skin cells that contain melanin. The likelihood of getting these odd little dots is attributed to both the natural environment and genetic predisposition. They can appear on both light skin and darker skin.

What Are the Signs?

Freckles are typically grouped into two categories: ephelides and solar lentigines. Ephelides are a common type of pigmentation. They appear red or light brown and tend to develop in the first 2-3 years of a person’s life after sun exposure. Solar lentigines, on the other hand, are dark patches of skin that develop during adulthood. Despite the categorization, freckles can vary in size and color from person to person. We all have unique skin characteristics and, therefore, could have this condition expressed in different ways.

MEET THE TEAM

Skin MD has a beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff, affordable pricing, and any treatment your skin needs. I received the Venus Legacy treatment (a collagen-boosting treatment) from Shannon and had a wonderful experience. Not only was it like a warm massage for my face, but this treatment gave IMMEDIATE plumping, increased blood circulation, and made my skin glow! I will definitely be coming back for all my skin needs and medical-grade skin care. I recommend it to everyone!

The staff are so welcoming and comforting. They take time to listen to your needs and they do not pressure you into doing anything you don't want to do. They also take time to explain the process and their decision making to you so that you have all the facts.

~ Lauren M.

Friendly, fast, and professional service at the highest quality. Really impressed with the results of their services, and my technician is very knowledgeable and helpful when I have any questions. They made sure I was fully educated on the services I received and perform check-ins to ensure my skin heals properly. Also, the most convenient location in Back Bay!

~ Jules B.

I cannot say enough great things about this SkinMD. The staff was amazing, and their services are amazing. I am so, so happy with how my nose came out, and I am now a lifetime customer of SkinMD and will be recommending SkinMD to everyone I know.

Ways to Get Rid of and Lighten Freckles

At SkinMD, we provide several laser treatments, light therapies (like intense pulsed light/IPL), and radiofrequency options for addressing pigmentation. Our enlighten® PICO Genesis laser, for example, can lighten pigmentation in less than an hour. We also offer chemical peels, other laser therapies, and custom facials.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels take off layers of the skin using a customized chemical solution. It can be made of everything from glycolic acid to lactic acid to salicylic acid. These chemicals allow the skin to peel off and leave you with a brighter and more radiant complexion. By removing the top layers of this skin, this unique treatment can remove freckles as well.

Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (IPL)

IPL works by emitting broad-spectrum light onto the skin. The light that penetrates the skin is absorbed by the melanin. The light is then converted into heat, which damages or destroys the targeted areas (like where freckles are located), leading to smoother and flawless skin.

Laser Treatment

Laser treatments use concentrated beams of light. Like light therapy, this laser light is absorbed by the melanin in the skin. This breaks up the pigment, leading to a clearer and pigment-free complexion.

These freckle and skin pigmentation treatments are non-invasive and require little, if any, downtime. To learn more about this and our other options, get in touch with a SkinMD office near you.
