I am 16 and I have had dark freckles coceriing my face from a very young age. I was wondering if theres a certain age requirement and if not will the treatment work just as well?

Mitchel Goldman, MD · Answer

You are not too young to receive the IPL Photofacial and the treatment is very effective in minimizing the appearance of unwanted freckles. With younger patients, I work closely with you and your parents in order to set goals and expectations for the treatment. In some cases, patients often see a 50% improvement after only one treatment.
