I was really worried about my freckles, so I originally used the method of making scabs form and then falling off, but I really hated seeing the dark scabs, so I looked into other treatments. I heard that pico toning would not cause any inconvenience in my daily life, so I tried it. I did it once a week for about two to three months. I often hear that my skin is clearer and better after using it consistently . It's not completely clear, but the dark freckles are almost all gone, so I need to take it more consistently.
