What is the best laser to target freckles/sun spots?

Question

I have heard of IPL, BBL, pico lasers, co2, and nd-yag lasers to remove hyperpigmentation (brown spots, not red spots). I have redness from grade 1 rosacea as well but don't want to target that (I understand that redness would likely still be somewhat affected). What is the best laser that is mostly only for brown spots?

PicoSure PRO addresses hyperpigmentation and melasma across all skin tones. It can target brown pigmentation by delivering energy in trillionths of a second without relying on heat. This precise targeting of pigmented lesions ensures that the surrounding skin remains unharmed. Unlike traditional intense pulsed light (IPL) or laser treatments, PicoSure PRO is less painful and minimizes downtime post-treatment. Additionally, the treatment promotes collagen and elastin production, leading to tighter skin and a glowing, refreshed appearance.
