Not getting the results from IPL sessions, should I get Fraxel/Fractional laser?

So I had IPL done just over a year ago and had pretty good results from the nurse that did it. Anyway, still a few spots that didn't go away or came back so I had a couple more IPLs including with Lumecca and no results last 2 times!! With all the money I'm spending this last one $550 and wants to do another would I be better to just pay and have fractional or Fraxel done instead of $500 plus bucks a pop for IPL? Very upset I keep paying for IPL last 2 times and no results!
