What are freckles?
Freckles are small brown spots on your skin, often in areas that get sun exposure. In most cases, freckles are harmless. They form as a result of overproduction of melanin, which is responsible for skin and hair color (pigmentation). Overall, freckles come from ultraviolet (UV) radiation stimulation.
Freckles are commonly found in skin types I–IV and are uncommonly noted in skin type V. They are seen as small, poorly marginated, pale brown macules on sun-exposed skin areas. Often there is a genetic predisposition. Microscopically, an increased amount of melanin is produced in the melanocytes. Sun exposure results in the aggravation of freckles, and there is an increase in density and color in the summer months.
How to remove freckles?
Q-switched Nd:YAG
lasers are highly pigment selective targeting the endogenous melanin. The Q-switched device acts as an extremely high-speed shutter. It allows the Nd:YAG rod to store a large amount of energy and permits a single, high-energy, high-speed pulse to exit the cavity. It deposits energy in pulses in the range of nanoseconds. The beam can be made uniform or fractionalized. A fractional hand piece reduces the time the laser beam touches the skin and minimizes the damage in normal cells with a quick recovery time, as the laser’s energy is deposited on the skin surface in an interval pattern with islands of unaffected skin. Heat-induced steam cavities in the melanosomes cause the scattering of visible light, resulting in an ash white color at the site of treatment.
Immediately after the laser treatment, all patients had erythema and edema at the treated site, which decreased after some time. Crusting was observed on day 2 and scabs from day 3 onwards. Some patients showed significant improvement after the laser treatment and some of them developed hyperpigmentation at the treated site. In that case topical such as Hydroquinone and Tretinoin would be prescribed.
