2 IPL treatments only made brown spots appear (that were not visible to naked eye before) but no flaking? (photos)

As you can see from photos, brown spots are now quite visible. Before IPL only the larger spot was vaguely noticeable, now entire face looks like cheek. A few freckles turned darker but have since faded. I went there for laser resurfacing which I desperately need but was talked into IPL first. Why aren't these spots turning dark/flaking off? I look worse than I did before IPL. Treatments 1 month apart. Fair skinned redhead, would this be a reason why? Do I need more treatments? Help. Ty
