Freckles: Causes, Treatment, and Laser Removal
Scientifically known as ephelides, freckles are small, pigmented spots typically appearing on sun-exposed areas like the face, arms, and shoulders. These harmless spots, ranging from tan to light brown, are caused by increased melanin production triggered by the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Although often associated with fair skin, freckles can affect all skin types.

Why Do Freckles Occur?
Sun exposure is the primary cause of freckles. UV radiation stimulates melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing melanin, to increase pigment production as a protective measure against further sun damage. Genetic predisposition also plays a role, with fair-skinned individuals more prone to developing freckles.

How Can Freckles Be Treated?
Beauty by Doctor offers several treatment options for freckles:

Topical Treatments: Over-the-counter or prescription creams containing hydroquinone, retinoids, or vitamin C can help lighten freckles and even out skin tone.
Chemical Peels: This procedure involves applying a chemical solution to the skin, exfoliating the outer layers and reducing the appearance of freckles.
UltraClear: This innovative laser treatment targets melanin in freckles with precision, leading to a gradual reduction in their appearance.
Laser Freckle Removal: This highly effective treatment uses laser technology to target and break down the melanin in freckles, causing them to fade.
