How much does it cost for laser freckle removal for whole face? Does this leave any marks and can it all be done in one day?

There are many ways to treat brown spots on the face. One of the best and fastest is with lasers. The type of laser, and the cost, depend a lot on what types of brown spots you have. If you have a lot of sun induced freckles, the IPL or Fraxel might be a good option. Cost could run anywhere from a few hundred to over a thousand - so it is very difficult to know without an evaluation. The whole face can be treated in one day, but often, for brown spots, more than one treatment may be needed.

Hi Laura,The cost will depend on the laser used and the extent of your brown spots. Also, if there is any melasma present this can change the approach and cost. We have over 40 lasers/devices in our practice so we have every option, including Fraxel Dual, q-switched alexandrite, 5 different IPLs, a ruby laser, Fraxel repair, Picosure, Spectra, and others. Consultations in Southern Cal are free in most offices, so you can get an exact cost. If you want to see a live treatment for brown spots, go to You Tube and search "Dr. Groff brown spots" and watch video.  This can be done in one day and shouldn't leave any marks. Take care, Dr. Groff

Your question is difficult to answer because it depends on the type of freckles, which laser is used, and how long it would take. There are so many different ways to even skin color. Some of these treatments can be done in one day, or may require a series of treatments. Usually the brown spots get darker for a week or two and they gradually exfoliate off. You could wear makeup to hide it. The pricing could be from $500 on up, again depending what laser would work best for your needs. I'd recommend seeing a laser surgeon for a full consultation and get an estimate.
