To remove the freckles I had since childhood, at a large chain hospital, multi-dual toning and vitamin ampoule management + moisture or pore management choice 10 times . I asked for it to be stronger, and when I washed my face, the freckles on the outer surface came off like tiny dots . Now, we are removing the pigments deep in the skin with a weak intensity and it is getting lighter! Large hospitals are cheap, but other than the laser, the managers do it, not the doctor, and since I have multiple procedures, sometimes I skip the procedure. If something is weird, I think you should ask. I'll post before and after pictures when I get all 10 episodes!
