After IPL my skin had very dark "peppering", will this go away? (photos)

Myturn6319
After my 3rd treatment with IPL to correct sun spots, when the dark spots resolved after a week or so, my skin was clear!!! I was so happy! Then after a couple of weeks the spots started to come back...I just had my 4th treatment today. I was so discouraged to see the spots return. Will they eventually stay away or will I have this discoloration forever?
