Freckles are flat, tanned circular spots that typically are the size of the head of a pen tip. The spots are multiple and may develop randomly on the skin, especially after repeated exposure to sunlight. These are particularly common in people of fair complexion on upper-body skin areas like the cheeks, nose, arms, and upper shoulders.

Most freckles on a person's skin are usually uniform in colour. On different people, freckles may vary somewhat in colour but they are basically slightly darker than the surrounding skin. They tend to become darker and more apparent after sun exposure and lighten in the winter months. Freckles are due to an increase in the amount of dark pigment called melanin.

Laser and Intense Pulsed Light procedures work extremely well on getting rid of freckles from the face, décolleté, upper body and arms. A maintenance programme using the Obagi skin care system helps prevent reoccurrence. With larger freckles known as Macules, chemical peels are the treatment of choice.
