Hello, I am in my 20s and have red hair and very pale skin - my arms are quite sun damaged with a lot of small freckles and the skin is a lot redder compared to non exposed areas. There are so many treatment options and it seems some are only available for the face and not arms/legs. Ideally I would like a method that can also help reduce the redness and that will take minimal sessions - longer recovery / more painful is fine. Could you recommend the most effective option for me? Thank you :)

Answer: Freckle pigment removal IPL/BBL is a good option with lower risk. Settings can be increased with repeat sessions monthly. The Palomar Max G is a good example. Picosecond lasers are also a good option but typically at much higher cost. Chemical peels carry a higher risk and not likely best choice.

Answer: Freckle/Pigment Removal for arms An IPL treatment is a wonderful option for eliminating hyperpigmentation spots and involves no downtime. The only post-procedure issue you may experience is redness. Because there is no major resurfacing happening, like a laser, the different light wavelengths are gentle. The hyperpigmentation is treated with powerful flashes of light in short, bursts. The energy created by the light penetrates the dermal layers below the skin’s surface and begins to address the melanin that’s causing the spots. The heat penetrates and attacks the pigment particles, which are broken down and then rise to the surface. They slough off or are carried in the lymph and eliminated naturally by the body. If you have minor hyperpigmentation, results may be seen after one session. With more advanced hyperpigmentation, five sessions is the recommended succession.
