I want to get rid of my freckles/ I have tried IPL- w/o success. What laser should I go with? I am looking at Fraxel, Medlite C6, Gentlemax... cant decide which one would work the best? (by the best I mean: the best results, fewer treatments, less downtime? dont have a whole lot of money to spend...fraxel=more expensive but is fraxel=most effective also true? thanks for any suggestions..

Answer: What Laser is Best for Freckle Removal?
Thank you for your question. If you would like the least number of treatments, I would recommend a fractional Iablative device such as CO2. The next best may be a fractionated sublative laser such as e matrix. An Alex laser can also spit treat with minimal downtime and expense. Whichever method you decide, I would recommend being treated under the supervision of a Board Certified Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon for safest and best treatment option. I hope this helps.

Answer: Freckle treatment with lasers
The Alexandrite or frequency doubled Neodynium Yag lasers, and the glass tip V-beam lasers are very effective to reduce pigment that is focal. Possibly a few treatments may be necessary, but many patients need only one or two. There may be some slight scabbing for five days that require oinment or cream to be applied for good healing for five days or so. Certainly the pigment should be evaluated to make sure that the freckles are OK and not showing any atypical presence prior to laser treatment. Seeing a board certified dermatologist might be prudent. The Fraxel Dual laser also works very well but may require more treatments and is better for diffuse sundamage pigmentation than treating individual freckles. Sun protection is a must.
