Skip to content Freckling is a common skin condition characterized by small, flat, brown spots on sun-exposed skin areas, such as the face, arms, and shoulders. These spots, known as freckles, are usually harmless but can affect a person’s appearance and self-esteem. Freckles are caused by increased melanin production due to genetic factors and sun exposure. While they are not dangerous, some individuals may seek treatment for cosmetic reasons. Treatments for freckles include topical creams, laser therapy, chemical peels, and cryotherapy. These treatments vary in effectiveness and may require multiple sessions for optimal results.
Freckling can affect people of all ages and skin types, though it is more prevalent in individuals with fair skin and red or blonde hair. During laser therapy, you may experience a slight tingling or warmth, while chemical peels may cause temporary redness and peeling. Most treatments are quick, with laser sessions typically lasting 30 minutes and chemical peels taking around 20 minutes. Although recovery times vary, most people can return to regular routines immediately or within a few days.
