Does Fraxel Get Rid of Age Spots or Does It Just Make Them Fade?

merlin
I have age spots on my arms which react to self tanning lotions -they go orange. I am thinking of having them treated with Fraxel. Will they go completely or just fade- if the latter, will the self tan lotions still pick them out and leave orange spots on my arms ?
