What causes freckles?

Freckles are small, flat brown spots caused by increased melanin production. They often appear or darken due to:

• Sun exposure and UV damage
• Genetics and skin type
• Hormonal changes or aging

While freckles are harmless, many people choose to remove or lighten them for cosmetic reasons—especially when combined with other pigmentation like sunspots or melasma.

Best treatments for freckle removal

At VOS Skin Clinic, our dermatologists use clinically proven technologies to safely fade freckles and even out skin tone. Common options include:

Laser toning (Q-switched Nd:YAG or Pico laser) – Targets melanin and breaks down pigmentation without harming surrounding skin.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) – A broad-spectrum light treatment that reduces freckles and boosts skin radiance.

Brightening peels – Mild chemical exfoliants that lighten surface pigmentation and promote skin renewal.

Vitamin C infusions and topical care – Help support skin healing and reduce pigmentation over time.

Each treatment plan is customized based on your skin type, freckle depth, and sensitivity.

Who is a good candidate?

Freckle removal is ideal for those who:

• Have visible freckles they want to lighten or remove
• Want clearer, more even-toned skin
• Are concerned about sun damage or pigmentation
• Prefer non-surgical, minimal downtime treatments

It’s safe for most skin types when performed by trained professionals with proper equipment.

What to expect during the procedure

• Skin analysis and consultation
• Cleansing and prep of the treatment area
• Application of laser or IPL in short bursts
• Cooling and soothing care post-treatment

The session typically takes 20–30 minutes. You may feel a light snapping sensation, but most clients find it very tolerable.

Aftercare tips

• Avoid direct sun exposure for at least a week
• Use SPF 50+ sunscreen daily
• Keep the skin moisturized and avoid harsh exfoliants
• Minor redness or darkening of freckles may occur before fading
• Follow all post-treatment care instructions provided by your dermatologist

Is freckle removal safe?

Yes—especially when performed by licensed dermatologists using KFDA-approved technology. At VOS Skin Clinic, we ensure all treatments are done safely and gradually to avoid irritation or skin damage.
