Is there anything that will fade sunspots/freckles besides bleach?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple options: IPL does a really nice job of lightening sun damage with no down time. It does require regular (every 3 months or so) treatments to maintain results. Some chemical peels can lighten sun damage. Fractionated laser does a really nice job of lightening ;pigmentary issues, but does require some downtime. Hydroquinone and lightening creams are other options. http://www.omahacosmeticsurgery.com/face
