What would be the best treatment for sun damaged skin (moles, freckles) on the arms, chest and upper back? (Photos)

Sandra2828
I used to tan when I was a teen. Now I am 29 and my skin is sun damaged. I have a lot of moles, freckles and sun spots on my arms, chest, upper back and face. My main concern is my arms and chest. I would like to know the best treatment to remove theses moles and sunspots (laser, IPL, peeling) Also, since I would be treating a large skin area, I would like to know the cost of such a procedure. Is it safe to remove these moles and would it have an effect on my chances to get skin cancer?
