Removal of age spots/sun spots on hands, arms and legs? (Photo)

Kat1709
I am 51 with fair skin blue eyes. Although I haven't tanned for about 15 years, I spent plenty of my youth tanning, including sun beds for a while. What is the most cost effective procedure to remove these horrible spots? I have tried some at home tca peels, which improve appearance for a week or so. But then skin went back to what it looked like before. tried IPL on hands a few years ago. It did nothing. I also once tried hydroquinone I bought online, a huge tub, that didn't do anything either
