If you notice small brown spots around your nose and both cheeks when looking in the mirror, they could be freckles. Freckles are a pigmentation disorder heavily affected by ultraviolet rays, and they are said to have the characteristic of becoming darker during seasons with strong sunlight and relatively lighter in winter.

When looking into dermatological treatments for freckles, one of the most frequently asked questions is the price of freckle laser treatment. Today, I will summarize everything from the reasons freckles form to freckle laser procedures, prices, treatment sessions, and aftercare methods.

1. Reasons why freckles form

Freckles mainly appear on sun-exposed areas such as the nose, cheeks, backs of the hands, and chest, and are characterized by their color changing depending on the amount of sunlight. The reasons for the formation of freckles are said to be as follows.

 

1) Genetic factors

It is said that genetic factors can influence the occurrence of freckles. In particular, it is known to be associated with mutations in the MC1R gene, which is involved in melanin production.

 

2) UV exposure

It is said that ultraviolet rays increase melanin production in the skin, which can make existing freckles darker. Therefore, frequent exposure to UV rays can make freckles appear more distinct.

 

3) Skin type and individual differences

It is said that even with the same amount of exposure to sunlight, the number and color of freckles can vary depending on skin color, melanin response, and genetic characteristics.

2. Freckle laser treatment

At Maypure, we use Clarity Blemish Treatment for freckle removal. Clarity Blemish Treatment is said to have the following characteristics.

 

1) What are Clarity blemishes?

Clarity Blemish Treatment is a procedure that uses a 755nm long-pulse laser to selectively target small, distinct epidermal pigmented lesions, such as freckles, epidermal blemishes, and flat lentigines. It is said to be a treatment where you can see changes in the fading of blemishes within a short treatment time.

 

2) Clarity Blemish Recommended for

3. Freckle laser price

The price of freckle laser treatment can vary depending on the laser equipment used, the treatment area, and the number of pigmented spots. The event prices for Maypure Clarity blemish treatment are said to be as follows.

 

- Clarity Blemish Removal 1 Session: 130,000 won

- Clarity Blemish Removal 3 times: 390,000 won

4. Number of freckle laser treatments

While freckle lasers can lighten some pigmentation after just one session, not all freckles disappear with a single treatment. The recommended number of treatments for blemishes with Clarity is as follows.

 

- Clarity Blemish Treatment Recommended Frequency: At least 3 times at intervals of 2-4 weeks

 

However, the actual number of treatment sessions may vary depending on the number of freckles, skin type, and laser response. Therefore, rather than blindly repeating the set number of sessions from the start, it is recommended to decide whether to proceed with additional treatments while monitoring the degree to which the pigmentation fades after each session.

5. Care Instructions After Freckle Laser Treatment

It is said that freckles are heavily affected by ultraviolet rays, so care is important even after laser treatment.

 

1) Use sunscreen consistently

It is said that the most important thing for managing freckles is UV protection. You should apply a sufficient amount of sunscreen before going out, and if you are spending a long time outdoors, it is recommended to reapply it at appropriate intervals.

2) Do not forcibly remove the scab

After freckle laser treatment, the treated area may temporarily darken or small scabs may form. Since forcibly removing them with your hands can irritate the skin, it is recommended to wait for them to fall off naturally.

 

3) Reduce skin irritation

It is said that avoiding the use of scrubs or peeling products helps with recovery, as the skin may be more sensitive than usual after laser treatment.

6. Q&A

1) The color looks darker after the freckle laser treatment. Is that okay?
After the laser treatment, the pigmentation may temporarily darken or fine scabs may form. Since most of them fall off naturally during the recovery process, you should not forcibly remove them.

 

2) Can freckles reappear even after receiving laser treatment?

Yes, it is possible. Since freckles are closely related to ultraviolet (UV) rays, continued exposure to sunlight after treating existing pigmentation can cause them to darken again or new freckles to appear. Therefore, consistent UV protection is important even after laser treatment.

Since the price of freckle laser treatment can vary depending on the equipment, treatment area, and number of sessions, it is important to check the type of pigmentation and the number of treatments required rather than simply comparing the price per session.
