Why is IPL not working to treat freckles on forearms?

mrsgigi
I have had 4 IPL sessions to treat freckles on my forearms. The last 3 treatments have been on the highest setting. I have fair skin with light freckles. We are seeing no results. Why is it not working? Wrong laser type, machine, setting, practitioner? What will work?
