I got my freckles removed once before. The dr used the same laser as "tattoo removal" it worked fine, the freckles were gone but I didn't like how it was healing (discolored/Asian skin) instead of dark spots, there were white spots. A year or two later my freckles are back. I was thinking an IPL but saw a lot of before& after photos that recovered badly. What other laser? Whats best? Is IPL best for freckle removal? Feedback is very much appreciated!

Answer: Halo and BBL Treatments for Sun Damage This is an excellent question, thank you for sharing. Based on your photos, you are an excellent candidate for a Halo laser treatment. Halo is a hybrid fractionated laser that is both ablative and non-ablative for a complete treatment of the skin. With just one Halo treatment, there is a visible reduction in brown spots, pore size and overall skin texture. What makes the Halo unique is that there is only 4-5 days of downtime, which is very minimal in contrast to other resurfacing lasers. Additionally, the Halo can reverse sun damage and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The Halo is also safe on most skin types, including Asian skin. After your Halo treatment, I recommend maintaining your results with photofacial treatments (Such as BBL or IPL). To learn more about these treatments, please consult with a board-certified specialist experienced with these procedures.

Answer: Dark spots and freckles on Asian skin Great question. I love the Pico Way or Pico Resolve laser treatment for all skin types including Asian skin. Sublative Fractional RF is another option as well as multiple monthly Clear & Brilliant treatments.Another option could be VI Peel Precision Plus chemical peels and/or multiple Vitalize or Rejuvenize peels by Skin Medica.I strongly recommend an at home regimen that includes hydroquinone Rx, Lytera Skin Brightening Cream twice daily, Sente' Dermal Repair Cream in the morning under sunscreen as well as Sente' BioComplete Serum in the evening. My favorite sunscreen is mineral based and oil free with DNA Repair Enzymes called Elizabeth Arden Pro SPF 50+.Hope this helps. Good luck.

Answer: Start with a low-risk approach such as BBL I suggest a series of BBL treatments done by someone who has a lot of experience with Asian skin types. The BBLs in combination with good skincare and mild chemical peels should clear up most of your brown spots. I call this sequence of treatments the "GLOW" regimen.The next option I'd consider is a Fraxel treatment with the 1927 nm wavelength.Good luck!
