For more than 25 years, Clear Lake Dermatology has served the dermatologic needs of Houston and the Bay Area, providing individual attention, hospitable service, and high quality of care to our patients. At CLDerm, patients are seen, examined, and treated by our two American Academy of Dermatology Board-certified physicians, delivering the highest level of expert care. We specialize in medical and surgical dermatology, but we also offer non-invasive facial rejuvenation, skin care, laser treatments. Narin-Dr.Joe Apisarnthanarax, M.D. is a leading dermatologist in facial rejuvenation and laser expert.
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.
