If you have freckles, you're not alone. Millions of people around the world have them. Removing or reducing their appearance can be painful not to mention the fact that it's expensive too.

Freckles are marks that appear on the skin as a consequence of sun exposure. They are usually present in people with pale skin, blond or red hair.

When a person spends time under the sun, freckles appear, especially on the face. When the sun's rays penetrate the skin, they activate melanocytes, creating new freckles or increasing the size of older ones.

The most popular freckle remover these days is laser. Laser procedures can remove freckles from the skin without damaging surrounding tissue. Plus, they're quick to do and don't require a lot of anesthesia. The procedure takes between 5 to 10 minutes and unlike traditional therapy, the laser won't change the texture or color of normal skin. But the problem with laser is its cost, the pain it causes, and the fact that you won't be able to sunbath for a while since the wounds need to close.

The best way to avoid freckles is by protecting yourself from the sun, especially during summer. Of course, few people will probably follow this advice since most of them want to spend time outside, especially on the beach. If you are one of those persons, your best choice is to use a good sunscreen. Consult a dermatologist to determine the kind of sunscreen and level of protection you need.

With less sun exposure, there is less chance that you'll need laser treatment. Lumnaderm can help you reduce freckles.
