Answer: Darkening of skin after Laser Hair Removal It is possible for existing freckles to become darker after laser hair removal. However, this is usually temporary. For quick resolution you should avoid any further treatments at this time and avoid sun. You can also use a lightening cream such as Triluma (by prescription) and it will fade away faster.

Answer: Dark Freckles After Laser Hair Removal Should Resolve Fairly Quickly Darkening of a skin lesion following laser hair removal can happen, as others have noted, and this is something that is not very common, and should resolve fairly quickly after the laser hair removal procedure. If it does not, I would suggest that you go to a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to allow them to examine the areas in question and make sure that the lesion(s) are in fact benign and not something that might require immediate attention – these are the docs most skilled in this field while others may not be that familiar

Answer: Darkening of freckles and moles after Laser Hair Removal This sometimes happens, but it is temporary. The laser is attracted to pigment (color), so it sometimes goes after freckles and moles. This is why we don’t want any sun exposure or anything that changes the pigment of your skin. You may want to use a hydroquinone “lightening cream” on the area or triluma cream. Please consult with your physician regarding the creams, most of the time you need to stop using it prior to your next laser treatment.
