Can IPL be used to remove specific moles and freckles? I have light freckles on my upper cheeks, nose and lips and flat, small moles (some adult onset and some from birth) on my face, chest, hands, and thighs. I am 38 and have Fitzpatrick skin type 2. Approximately how many sessions would be needed? I had IPL done a few years ago (6 sessions) all over my face only which dramatically helped with freckles. Since then, I have lightened new ones with various products and religiously use sunscreen.
