Can Freckles Be Treated?
Freckles can be addressed through various clinical methods to manage their appearance. At BBD, we offer several approaches tailored to individual skin assessments and clinical requirements:
Topical Treatments: Gradual management of pigmentation using prescribed or clinical-grade topical applications.
Chemical Peels: Controlled exfoliation of the skin's surface layers to address skin texture and tone.
Laser Therapy: Targeted light energy used to address pigmented cells within the skin.
The choice of treatment depends on various factors, including your skin type, the extent of pigmentation, and your clinical history. A consultation with our practitioners will help determine the most suitable approach for your skin concerns.

How Does Freckle Treatment Work?
Each method involves a different clinical mechanism. Topical treatments work over an extended period, while laser therapy and chemical peels address the skin surface more directly. The timeline for visible changes in skin quality varies between individuals.

Which Areas Can Be Addressed?
Pigmentation can be treated on various body areas, including the face, hands, arms, legs, chest, and back. At BBD, we offer clinical solutions to address areas of concern across the body.

Is the Procedure Uncomfortable?
Discomfort levels vary depending on the chosen method and individual pain thresholds. Topical treatments are typically well tolerated. Chemical peels may cause a mild tingling sensation, while laser therapy might feel like a warm snapping sensation on the skin. Our practitioners focus on patient comfort and can discuss management options during your appointment.

How Long Does a Treatment Session Take?
Treatment duration varies. Topical approaches involve a long-term home care routine. In-clinic chemical peels and laser sessions typically last around 30 minutes. The number of sessions required is determined by an individual assessment of the skin's response.

What is the Recovery and Aftercare Process?
Recovery and aftercare instructions depend on the specific method used. Topical treatments usually involve no recovery period. Chemical peels may result in mild peeling, while laser therapy might lead to temporary redness and swelling. Sun protection and specific skin care are essential to support the skin following treatment. A personalised aftercare plan is provided to each individual patient.

How Long Do the Effects Last?
Outcomes vary between individuals based on the treatment type and biological factors. The duration of the effects is significantly influenced by ongoing sun exposure. Consistent sun protection is required to maintain skin health and manage the recurrence of pigmentation.

What is the Cost of Treatment?
The cost depends on the selected method and the number of sessions required to address your concerns. A consultation at BBD will provide a personalised treatment plan and a cost estimate. Prices start at $350.
