What are my options to reduce these moles/freckles on my chest, shoulders & arms? (Photo)

Question

I am in my early 30s. Tanned a lot when I was younger (teenager, early 20s) but soon realized the damage I was doing.... I am pretty good about wearing sunscreen on a daily basis and definitely wear sunscreen on days I'm out in the sun. I honestly avoid the outdoors because of the damage it does. For someone my age I know I've been very careful for quite some time but it seems to be of no use... I'm still getting these freckles/moles. What can I do???

Mole removal begins with a comprehensive examination and consultation to determine the likelihood of a mole being worrisome. Excisional and incisional biopsies are reserved for suspicious moles. But it’s good news that most moles are not problematic and are only cosmetic, thus leading to the option of scarless or non-surgical mole removal with lasers and RF and plasma. Our office specializes in non-surgical mole removal.
