First: coffee spots are generally treated with laser, few people use surgery, freezing, electric cauterization and other methods, because these methods will cause skin scars to a certain extent. Even if Q-switched laser can't cure coffee spot at one time, it won't leave permanent scar to patients.

Second: laser treatment of coffee spots has been proved to be the most safe and effective treatment. Based on the principle of selective photothermal, the laser energy is compressed into nanosecond pulse to emit. The peak power of the light source can be increased by several orders of magnitude. The pigment particles are heated suddenly and burst instantly. The fragments of pigment particles are engulfed by immune cells and metabolized from lymphatic vessels to the body. The adjacent normal tissues are not destroyed, so that the therapeutic effect is achieved without affecting the normal tissues. Laser treatment of coffee spots usually requires local anesthesia, and the treatment can be completed in dozens of minutes. The general treatment needs about 5 times (depending on the skin lesions subside), with an interval of about 3 months.

Third: there are many popular recipes for removing freckles, most of which have not been verified, but according to the dialectical theory of traditional Chinese medicine, they should have certain effects, such as lemon ice sugar juice, black fungus and red dates, carrot juice and so on. Patients can try, at least without harm.
