Many find freckles, or ‘ephelides’ as they are called in dermatology, cute. Often they are harmless little brown specks around our nose or cheeks. They are the result of sun exposure and an attempt by our skin to respond to this exposure by packaging melanin pigment to absorb the ultraviolet rays of the sun. Unfortunately in skin that has developed freckles our skin has not packaged this melanin properly and this is displayed as a ‘freckle’.

Removing freckles is a fairly straightforward process and laser treatment is highly effective for treating them. You should see a dermatologist before having any brown spots removed as they may have the potential to be cancerous. A dermatologist can check them to be sure they can be safely removed.

My Zeltiq treatment with dr. Dover was a real success. He was extremely skilled and was determined to do the best for me. I am thrilled with the results and I totally recommend him as your doctor. Totally professional, his staff is extremely friendly and helpful, it was a very good experience. Not only did he help me with my little pooch problem, but he also gave me a real confidence boost. I am having my second treatment with dr Dover and I am confident that everything will go perfectly. Highly recommended doctor and staff.
