Sun-Related Freckles and Warts Treatment

Why it happens

As you age or continue frequent sun exposure, freckles become more pronounced. Both sun-related freckles and warts are more likely to appear or worsen with age and repeated sun exposure.

The treatments

There are several effective treatments for sun-related freckles and warts, including laser therapy, cryotherapy, and Hyfrecation.

• During laser treatment, you may experience a mild snapping or tingling sensation as the laser targets and breaks down the pigment.
• Cryotherapy for warts involves the application of liquid nitrogen, which causes a cold, pinching feeling.
• Hyfrecation, a technique that uses high-frequency electrical current, treats warts by cauterising the tissue. It may feel like a brief, mild sting or a slight warming sensation.

All three treatments are quick, minimally uncomfortable, and well-tolerated by most patients.

Recovery time

Recovery from laser therapy, cryotherapy, or Hyfrecation is generally quick and straightforward. After treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness, which typically resolves within a few hours. If you undergo cryotherapy or Hyfrecation, small scabs or crusts may form at the treatment site, but these will naturally flake off within 1-2 weeks, leaving behind smoother, clearer skin.

My approach

Before beginning any treatment, I conduct a thorough consultation to assess the extent of the sun damage, the type of freckles or warts, and your overall skin health. Together, we will discuss the best treatment options for your specific condition, whether it’s laser therapy, cryotherapy, or Hyfrecation.

I prioritise minimally invasive and effective treatments that not only target the visible spots but also ensure the health of your skin moving forward. My goal is to achieve the most natural, long-lasting results with as little downtime as possible. I also provide detailed aftercare instructions to help promote healing and prevent further damage from sun exposure.
