Solar lentigo - Best way to tackle my freckles/dark spots? (photos)

ashury
Hi all, I have very large dark spots (my derm referred to them as solar lentigo) on my face they look like freckles and are mainly concentrated on one side of my face. I am of south Asian heritage and a 4 on the Fitzpatrick scale I’m booked in for a cosmelan peel but from research and looking at before & afters I’m not sure if this will get rid of my freckles. I’m also worried about rebound pigmentation. Is cosmelan good or better treatments out there?
