Freckle Removal |
|
Eric F. Bernstein, MD, is a distinguished practitioner, researcher and innovator in the fields of dermatology and laser surgery. He is widely considered one of the world's leading authorities on laser surgery.
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 Bernstein is the best doctor I have ever been to. I had bad results from facial resurfacing performed by another doctor. I was left with scars & pigment changes. No one would touch me after to help, I went everywhere in & around Phila.. I was referred to Dr Bernstein & I am so thankful. He took me on & has helped not only with my physical problems but my self esteem. He doesn't give up on you like most do. I look forward to every visit. He's extreamly easy to talk to too, very understanding. He's staff is amazing. He is the best you'll ever find. Can't say enough about him. I highly, highly recommend him to anyone who is considering any type of laser treatment.
