Freckless And Sunspots Treatment
Freckless And Sunspots Treatment
INTRODUCTION
Freckles are mostly evident in people with fair complexion. Freckles are also observed in the Indian scenario with patients using lots and lots of home remedies like lemon, honey etc to treat them. Such home remedies actually serve no purpose in removing or dimnishing them. Infact some home remedies may do more harm than good in such cases.Freckles are also called as EPHELIDES, and actually these dark pigmented spots are not due to the increase in the number of melanocytes which are colour giving cells or melanin forming cells, but are due to melanocytes which have the tendency to form melanosomes ie melanin granules. Freckles should be differentiated from lentigines and moles.
People with freckles are advised to use various sun blocking agents and are advised to take precaution from direct exposure of sunlight. These tiny spots on the skin can be a cause of concern for many as they are quite disturbing and it's a great task covering them when one steps out. These spots are difficult to treat with home remedies.
Cauterisation, fractional lasers, some detanning creams and chemical peeling may help many in getting rid of these freckles or sunspots. Multiple peeling session may be needed along with proper home regime for proper treatment of these dark spots. Sometimes surgical laser or fractional laser along with IPL laser may be used by dermatologist to treat these spots. Chemical peeling may be done every 2-3 weeks along with sunscreen use and other creams recommended by dermatologist. Some spots may fade and respond immediately but some may need surgical removal by dermatologist along with lasers and chemical peels. As these have the tendency to recur so proper care after the procedure is needed to prevent relapse. Laser resurfacing at times may be advised by the dermatologist. Some creams which contain retinoids and detanning agents may also be used by the dermatologist along with Derma abrasion procedure.
