Erbium yag laser can even skin tone
The erbium resurfacing laser can even skin tone, whether it's the ablative erbium which takes 5 days + or -, to heal, or the Fractional laser which is nonablative and must be done several times. The Thurium, 1927nm. laser in the Fraxel Dual laser, is very effective in reducing photodamage, brown spots and uneven tone.

Face laser
You should get a much better improvement with a CO2 type laser which goes deeper but you mention red spots. This would possibly involve another laser. Make sure you go see a plastic surgeon that is familiar with the different lasers available. Watch my video
