I have a freckle

I didn't really care before, but lately, I feel like the freckles around my cheekbones and eyes are getting darker...

Even with makeup, it doesn't hide it well, and my face looks dull, so I'm getting more and more stressed.

I've been applying sunscreen regularly, but after looking into it, I realized it just won't go away...

I'm thinking about getting treatment for my freckles, but I'm curious about how it's done and whether it hurts.
