Can Fraxel Dual make melasma worse? (Photo)

_Zippered_
I saw a cosmetic dermatologist about melasma and age spots on my cheeks. She gave me Triluma to use for two months and scheduled me for the first of 3 or 4 Fraxel Dual treatments. Can Dual make melasma worse? Is it likely to help? I love the idea of a "fix" but am scared about having laser treatment on my face - I don't want to risk having a worse problem than I do, now. Should I do it?
