Asked By:ladyblackbwidow02 in San Francisco, CA

I got my freckles removed once before. The dr used the same laser as "tattoo removal" it worked fine, the freckles were gone but I didn't like how it was healing (discolored/Asian skin) instead of dark spots, there were white spots. A year or two later my freckles are back. I was thinking an IPL but saw a lot of before& after photos that recovered badly. What other laser? Whats best? Is IPL best for freckle removal? Feedback is very much appreciated!
