Freckle Removal |
|
Dr. Brian Zelickson is widely regarded as one of the world's leading scientific minds in the field of Laser Dermatology. He is the developer of numerous technologies and applications. His patents have helped to revolutionize the practice of skin care. He is pleased to maintain his clinical practice in Edina.
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.

Dr. Zelickson is amazing. His knowledge is impressive and his staff incredibly friendly. I had really bad acne scarring and Dr. Z used a series of laser treatments which have absolutely changed my face and my life. I have a job which requires me to present in front of large numbers of people and having better skin has given me a huge boost in confidence. I would highly recommend Dr. Zelickson to anyone.
