Freckles are a sign: That you've been out in the sun without enough sunscreen protection. Wear an spf 35-50 every day. Wear a hat or cap, also, & protect the back of your hands & neck & other exposed areas. A dermatologist, plastic surgeon or other physician qualified to do laser " peels" can tell you the risks vs. Benefits of trying to lighten the freckles you have.

Sunscreen: Everybody should wear a good sunscreen. This will make your freckles less prominent. If you want to pay considerable money for treatment that will give a so-so result, you can try having them lasered. I'd urge you instead to do what a majority of your friends, and people you might date, will tell you to do. Embrace your genetics and decide like Photo Guy that you like this special gift.
