How to Get Rid of Freckles for GoodThose freckles are actually sun damage, but don't worry — here's what you can do to erase them |
Get Rid of Freckles With Facials and Chemical Peels Say you've been religiously trying to get rid of freckles at home, but you want your skin to look brighter for an event or special occasion — try a facial. Keep in mind, a facial can't erase your pigmentation or totally remove freckles, but it can certainly give you a glow and make your dark spots appear less noticeable.
The HydraFacial MD is one such procedure that uses vortex technology to exfoliate the skin while infusing it with a serum. Antiox-6, which contains vitamin E and white tea extract, is the ideal add-on if you have pigmentation concerns.
Take it one step further with a chemical peel. "Chemical peels like glycolic acids work really well, and they're safe on most skin tones," says Mariwalla. "I usually recommend a series of three depending on how dark your brown spots are." We like the new in-office NIA 24 Cellular Resurfacing Peel, which contains glycolic acid as well as lactic acid and botanicals. It brightens skin without any downtime.
