Are brown sun spots easier to treat with BBL (broadband light) or IPL after use of skin lighteners and glycolic?

Asked By:fjelly in Cottage Grove, WI

I've been using non-hydroquinone skin lighteners and glycolic daily for several months and my brown sun spots have faded somewhat. I'm considering BBL or IPL to finish the job and wonder if the spots now might be more responsive to laser treatment? Might it take fewer or less strong laser treatments?
