Have you heard about the latest beauty trend? It’s called “tattoo freckling” – and it has been a surprising hit with both women and men looking to add a splash of natural-looking freckles across
their noses and cheeks.

While many patients love the outcome of this semi-permanent procedure, some are left wishing they had stayed freckle-free. In many cases, people who opt for tattooed freckles end up feeling like they don’t look as nice or as natural as they’d expected – and they want their old complexion back!

If you find yourself in this scenario, Belle Vie Wellness & Medical Aesthetics can help you hit the reset button. In as little as 2-3 sessions with our Candela laser, Belle Vie can lighten and reduce the appearance of your tattoo freckles. One of the many reasons we use this gold standard laser treatment is because it uses a high-intensity light beam to safely and effectively break up colored pigments within the skin.

The removal procedure is straightforward and simple, making this an excellent choice for patients who are looking for quick results (one treatment session only takes a couple of minutes!). Patients can expect to start their laser tattoo removal journey with a small patch test, which ensures that there are no unexpected reactions to the laser energy.

During the procedure, you’ll be asked to wear protective opaque goggles, which will shield your eyes from the laser light. The treatment can be uncomfortable; many clients compare it to the snapping of an elastic band. If you’re worried about pain management, we can use a numbing cream on your face to help minimize any discomfort you may encounter.

We’ve seen patients achieve excellent results with just 2-3 laser tattoo removal sessions. However, your final outcome will depend on the tattoo pigment used to create the freckles. In general, the darker the tattoo pigment, the more sessions you’ll need.  Treatments are spaced six weeks apart to allow time for healing. Make sure you wear sunscreen to protect your sensitive skin!
