Question:
I do not like the freckles on my face. Would a laser skin treatment get rid of them?
Answer:
Yes, laser skin resurfacing will likely remove the freckles; however they will tend to recur in time. Anything that would permanently remove the freckles will also lead to overall pigment loss in the face and is not a recommended procedure. Depending on how many of the freckles are truly those and have been there all your life or how much is due to sun damage will also affect the degree and longevity of the improvement.
