Can I use a medium peel for PIH and sun spots and will the results be permanent? (Photo)

I’ve read that only deep peels are permanent, but I have dark skin so I don’t think I should do that procedure. Would a medium peel be enough for PIH and sun spots? And if the results from the peel aren’t permanent, does that mean the sun spots and PIH will return? If it does I may look to other treatments that would be permanent like lasers.
