Yes, I often treat lip freckles with IPL.  This works very well in skin types III thru IV.  This should be done with caution in darker skin types V and should not be used in type VI skin.

IPL, erbium, CO2, Fraxel, Q Switch and PIcosure can all be used safely on the lips. Freckling on the lips can very rarely be associated with internal problems ( I said rarely, so don't panic). You should see a Dermatologist to exclude any causes, and discuss treatment options. All the bestDr Davin Lim
