Dear Ms. AmropaliFreckles and pigmentations can be taken care by medications and if they don't give results Co2 laser can give good results. Freckles and skin pigmentation occur due to excessive sun exposure and one needs to protect from harmful sun rays.SPF is a measure of UV-B protection which doe snot cause much of commentary problems. In order to protect form tanning, freckles and plasma one must use a sunscreen with UVA protection. So next time you buy a sunscreen look for UVA protection and not SPF... Happy Healing Chat Doctor.
