what have you used that removes dark spots (freckles/flat moles)

i was forced to do electrolysis on my upper lip and now i have 8 pigmented spots that have turned into dark brown freckles/moles. my arms are covered in them and several on my legs/abdomen. the only freckles i have that don't fade are the cute nose ones i get in summer. however, i only have a few dots on my face so this cluster of dark brown specks on my upper lip very much indicates i've had something done on there which is more embarrassing than shaving

NOT PRESCRIPTION, if anyones had dark spots (i'm talking literally dark chocolate colored) they've faded nearly completely, what products helped??
