Freckles are skin discoloration marks caused by the excessive production of melanin. Melanin is responsible for giving the skin its color. However, when this pigment starts overproducing, it can result in freckles and blemishes on the skin. This type of skin discoloration is not harmful or destructive, but it can harm a person’s appearance. Most people opt to remove these marks with blemishes and freckles treatment in Dubai to enhance their cosmetic appearance.

Symptoms
To prevent cancerous skin growth, we need to undergo an examination or remove them. Generally, freckles and blemishes are harmless spots, but they seem similar to specific cancerous skin lesions. So, it is better to get them removed. Some typical symptoms of freckles and blemishes are as follows:
- Skin discoloration
- Changes in skin texture
- Dry and blotchy skin surface
Causes
Some common causes of freckles and blemishes are as follows:
- Excessive exposure to the sun: Freckles caused by direct sun exposure can be treated by lessening sun exposure.
- Overproduction of melanin: It is the pigment that gives skin its color. When melanin starts overproducing, it can cause spots or age spots.
- Hereditary qualities: Freckles are impacted by genetic attributes, too.
- Hormonal changes: Changes in hormones are one of the reasons for spots and age spots.
- Excessively fair skin: Fair skin is more inclined to freckles and blemishes because it has less melanin.
- Skin problems: Certain skin problems, like acne breakouts, can cause blemishes.
Pre-Procedure Care
Before opting for freckles and blemishes treatment, candidates must follow some pre-procedure instructions, such as:
- Avoid excessively scouring your skin.
- Apply a good quality SPF sunscreen before going out in the sun.
Treatment Techniques
Multiple treatment techniques are available to treat freckles and blemishes in Dubai. The selection of a suitable technique depends on the candidate’s condition, desired results, and the specialist’s recommendation.
Some effective procedures to eliminate freckles and blemishes are as follows:
Topical Medications
If you are not ready to undergo an invasive freckles and blemishes treatment, a skin expert may prescribe topical ointments or creams to address freckles and blemishes. These ointments primarily treat freckles caused by hormones.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels can be applied to remove the skin’s outermost layer, ultimately removing freckles and blemishes.
Laser Treatment
Laser treatment is a minimally invasive treatment for freckles and blemishes. Various types of lasers can be used to perform the procedure. During the treatment, the laser is used to separate melanin in the skin, improving skin tone by removing spots. However, the treatment requires numerous sessions to get the desired outcomes. Generally, PICO Genesis or Fractional CO2 Laser are used for treating skin discoloration, freckles, and hyperpigmentation.
IPL Therapy
Intense Pulsed Laser or IPL therapy works by smoothly cleaning the pigment in the skin. It enhances healthy tissue growth to reveal a new and fresh skin complexion.
