Is there a skin laser that can remove just my freckles and not rosacea?

Asked By:Warmhearted901811 in Cupertino, California

I have some light brown freckles/sun spots I'd like to remove as they have really bothered me since I was young. However, I have really mild rosacea (doctor said grade 1) on my cheeks that I *don't* want to get rid of because I think it's cute/looks like blush. Is there a laser treatment I could opt for that wouldn't decrease my rosacea?

Answer: A great option to remove freckles/sun spots would be doing IPL. It has different settings where it can only focus on sun damage
