Professional Freckle Reduction with Targeted Cryotherapy
Freckles, also known as ephelides, are small, flat, light brown circular spots on the skin that develop after repeated exposure to sunlight. Although freckles are not harmful to your health and do not indicate any underlying skin issues, many people come to us seeking a solution to achieve a more even-toned appearance.
Freckles are caused by clusters of melanin — the skin’s natural pigment — which become more visible with sun exposure and UV rays. They’re common in people with pale skin but can become darker during sunnier months.
Key characteristics of ephelides:
While freckles are harmless and pose no health risk, some individuals seek treatment for cosmetic reasons or to achieve an even skin tone.
How Our Treatment Works
Our ephelides treatment uses CryoPen® cryotherapy, a non-invasive technique that applies a concentrated burst of intense cold to the freckle. This controlled freezing helps break down the pigment-rich cells while protecting the surrounding tissue.
Upon healing, the freckle might leave behind a small crust that usually falls off on its own after 10–14 days and exposes new, cleaner-looking skin.
Before & After Care
Before your visit:
After treatment:
Because freckles can return with continued sun exposure, consistent use of sunscreen is essential for lasting results.
Are freckles harmful?
No — freckles are benign and not harmful. However, any spot that changes in shape, size, or colour should be checked by a professional.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most clients experience only a mild cold or tingling sensation during treatment.
How many sessions are needed?
Many people see noticeable results after one session, but additional treatments may be recommended depending on your skin and the extent of pigmentation.
Will freckles come back?
Although treated freckles are permanently removed from that area, new freckles can develop over time if the skin is exposed to UV radiation without protection.
