Brown Spots on Face - are these spots fixable? (photos)

bmkg
I had a full series of both IPL and BBL in the hopes of reducing brown spots and redness on my face. I do see a reduction in the redness, although I still have some broken capillaries on my cheeks. But the biggest issue for me is that the brown spots appear unchanged, or only minimally lighter, and I believe my practitioners used strong settings. I've been told I'm a perfect candidate for BBL because of my very white Irish skin, but is there something else I should try? Are these spots fixable?
