My skin is white, so I had freckles since I was young, but when I turned 30, they started to look like freckles, so I got pico toning and IPL laser treatment several times, but they didn't work. I got ruby laser treatment, and they all disappeared at once, but they slowly came back! I went to get it again two years later, but they said I could get it later, and the second time wasn't as effective as the first time. I recommend getting it as a last resort.
