Freckle Removal in Belfast: Safe, Effective, and Clinically Proven

Freckles can be a lovely feature — but for many people, years of sun exposure or hormonal changes can cause uneven pigmentation, dark spots, or clusters of freckles that make the skin tone look patchy.

At Laser & Skin Belfast, we specialise in freckle and pigmentation removal using Sciton’s BBL HEROic technology — the most advanced broadband light system in the world and the only one of its kind in Northern Ireland.


What Causes Freckles?

Freckles (also known as ephelides or solar lentigines, depending on type) form when melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour, becomes concentrated in certain areas after UV exposure. They often appear across the cheeks, nose, chest and shoulders, and can darken further with sunlight or tanning.

While freckles are harmless, many people choose to reduce them for a smoother, more even complexion.


How We Remove Freckles at Laser & Skin Belfast

We use BBL HEROic Forever Young and Forever Clear protocols, which target the melanin pigment within freckles using light energy at carefully controlled wavelengths.

  • The 515 nm filter selectively heats the melanin in each freckle.

  • This gentle, controlled heat breaks the pigment into microscopic fragments.

  • Over the following days, the freckles darken slightly before naturally fading or flaking away.

Because BBL HEROic delivers energy evenly across large areas at high speed, treatment is comfortable, fast and suitable for the face, neck, chest, shoulders or hands.


What to Expect

  • Treatment time: 15–30 minutes depending on area.

  • Downtime: Minimal — mild redness or warmth may last a few hours.

  • Results: Freckles fade gradually over 1–2 weeks as the pigment clears.

  • Course: Some clients achieve excellent clearance in one session; others benefit from a short series for stubborn pigmentation or sun damage.

We always begin with a comprehensive consultation to assess your skin type, degree of pigmentation and suitability for BBL HEROic treatment.
