Is laser treatment a permanent solution for freckles?

Doctor's Answer

Hi Ching Tan,

Pigmentation is a complex problem requiring proper diagnosis and a treatment plan from a doctor.

Different types of pigmentation respond to different treatments. These include creams, chemical peels and lasers. Different lasers are also indicated for different pigmentation. A course of treatments is usually needed, depending on your skin condition.

There is NO confirmed one-time solution for pigmentation, whatever the modality of treatment.
