Dermadoc :

hello

Dermadoc :

thanks for posting your query.

Dermadoc :

freckles and age spots occur as our skin ages.

Dermadoc :

in some individuals there may be a large number and in some a few.

Dermadoc :

the best thing to do is to prevent them from coming.

Dermadoc :

though we cannot completely stop the occurence, it can be kept in check to some extent by application of a sunscreen once every 4 hours when out in the sun.

Dermadoc :

also in order to take care of the ones that have already come up, i would recommend using vitamin c serum to be applied twice a day

Dermadoc :

that would help in overALL

Dermadoc :

it would help in the overall improvement of skin tone as well as will help in slight fading off of the age spots and freckles.

Dermadoc :

hope my recommendations are useful to you.

Dermadoc :

please let me know if i can address any other concern.

Customer :

Is there anyway you can bleach them? Can you bleach or remove dark spots from burns?

Customer :

I have an olive complexion

Customer :
Dermadoc : Hello
Dermadoc : Breaching wo.t really have any effect on them.
Dermadoc : Bleach does not lighten the age spots or spots from burns.
Dermadoc : I would strongly recommend the treatment I suggested.
Dermadoc : Regards
