What Are Freckles?
Freckles are tiny, localized dark spots where the skin overproduces melanin. Most importantly, they are harmless and do not point to any health condition. People with fairer skin colors tend to develop noticeable freckles after sun exposure . However, anyone can develop them, and many individuals may not like how they make their skin look.

Whether you have a few dozen freckles or hundreds, options exist to help restore even pigmentation. Dr. Ohara Aivaz provides freckle removal using one or more techniques, depending on your goals and your skin’s needs.

Letting your skin heal from the treatment (about 1 to 2 weeks for most patients).

Treatment Results
Each treatment type creates gradual improvements in your skin. Seeing full results may require more than one treatment session, especially for darker freckles.

Even patients with darker freckles will see notable improvements, though significantly dark ones may not entirely disappear.
