A member asked:

What are the side effects of laser to remove freckles?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hyper pigmentation: When a laser is used, it can cause deep heating of the skin and cause hyper pigmentation. The best way to lighten freckles is with a topical cream prescribed by a dermatologist.
