What Is Laser Freckle Removal?
Laser freckle removal uses targeted light energy to break down excess melanin (pigment) in the skin. This FDA and Health Canada-approved treatment safely eliminates unwanted freckles, age spots, and sun damage without surgery or extended downtime.
How It Works:
The laser delivers precise pulses of light that are absorbed by the melanin in freckles. This breaks up the pigment clusters, which your body then naturally eliminates over 2-4 weeks. The surrounding healthy skin remains unaffected.
Advanced Laser Technology We Use
Candela PicoWay System:
- Picosecond pulse technology for faster, more comfortable treatment
- Dual wavelengths (532nm and 1064nm) for different pigment depths
- Built-in cooling system for enhanced comfort
- Proven effective on all Fitzpatrick skin types (I-VI)
Why We Choose Candela:
Our clinic invested in Candela’s advanced laser systems because they offer superior precision and safety compared to older IPL or Q-switched technologies. This translates to better results with fewer sessions for our clients.
