What is the best laser to treat sun damage discoloration on chest? (photos)

twentyseven27
I have had BBL (Broad band laser) treatments at least 2 or 3 times which did not seem to touch the redness and sun damage on my chest. I have also had IPL which didn't do anything. I have very thin skin and always cover it up in the sun now. It will look as red as this in the dead of winter. It blanches when I press on it—fyi, so it clearly seems to be capillaries close to surface. What about Excel V laser by Cutera? Is there any hope with lasers? Is bleaching cream too toxic or even effective?
