Is Fraxel Dual and Alexandrite necessary to completely rid me of my genetic freckles or can Fraxel work by itself? (Photo)

The doctor gave me 2 options for full face freckle removal: Fraxel Dual, 1× aggressive procedure to fade my freckles 90-99% or, the IPL w/ 3-6 treatments. The assistant only quoted me for Fraxel $1750 w/ Alexandrite now added. This laser wasn't initially discussed. She said he likes to go over freckles w/ the Alexandrite b/c it penetrates deeper, & the Fraxel only targets the surface so I needed both & offered a 1x discount $1200 for the Fraxel to fade 70-80% & Alexandrite is an extra $250.
