Does microneedling fade freckles?

March 21, 2018
Asked By:pepperpups in Mountain View, CA

I want to get microneedling to treat the hyperpigmentation and shallow scars on my cheeks. However, I don't want the procedure to fade the freckles that I have on my nose. Is this possible? And if so, is there any way that I can avoid it? Thank you!
