Sun is the main issue of freckles where genetics also play a big part in who gets freckles. If your freckles have already appeared, over-the-counter products can help reduce their appearance. These products include AHA toners, trichloroacetic acid, phenol, and acid peels. A chemical is good for minimizing the appearance of freckles. Another option is laser therapy very popular with dermatologists. This can help lighten or remove freckles. This resurfacing laser targets the water inside the skin’s layers. Once it reaches the middle layer of skin, the old pigmented cells are removed and new collagen is formed. This new collagen can mean the complete removal of freckles.
