Update

Results continue to get better. I see basically none of the dark spots that were on my legs, and the three round scars on my left leg have continued to shrink to the point where they are barely visible now. Still very happy with results and glad I did it. Will post an updated picture or two soon.

This is a long review, so I apologize - but I wanted to share my experience in detail, as I had a hard time finding any reviews on successful procedures to treat dark spots on the legs. So I hope this helps someone else out there make a decision!
My spots were mainly PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation,) a few small shallow scars from picking at clogged hair follicles (KP), and some sun spots on the legs.
These spots came on suddenly for me within 1 year, I believe due to my crazy fluctuating horomones (went off the pill) along with simultaneous over-tanning, and picking.
I forgot to take true "before" pics, but you can see some of the spots in the first pics. They were very dark and very noticeable to me, especially at the end of last summer when I was really tan.
I have now had two sessions of ResurFx on my outer thighs. First session was 4/3, second session around 5/17.
It was more painful than expected... they do numbing cream 30 min before and that helps a lot, and they do make it more comfortable with a cold fan of some kind during the procedure. But I'm not going to lie, after about 5 minutes it starts to feel like someone's drilling hot needles deep into your skin.
My pain COULD have been worse just based on the area (some areas didn't hurt at all) and I do have a low tolerance for pain. I have had IPL on my full bikini area before, which can be quite painful too unless numbed but in a rubber band snapping kinda way. This is a different, more "penetrating/searing" kind of pain. But anyway- still overall tolerable, didn't have any issues getting through the procedure and results were well worth any pain.
Following the procedure I was very hot for several hours, and felt like my legs had been stung by 200 wasps. They were very sensitive to touch, but only until the next day. I didn't have to modify my lifestyle at all other than no sunbathing for 2 weeks before/after. No pain medication is needed.
There was a decent amount of swelling and redness for about a week, and teeny tiny red dots everywhere in a pattern. Followed by a bunch of tiny bumps. All of which went away completely after 1-2 weeks.
I am extremely happy with the outcome so far. I was unsure at first, because for me the results took several weeks to see an improvement. I was told there would be some changes visible in the short term, but results would be ongoing as the skin continues to repair itself from underneath for almost 6 months, I think. And so far I'm a believer, bc the more time that passes, the better I think it looks.
The doc had recommended 3 total sessions for best results, and I was quoted $500 a session which I thought was very fair considering the size of treatment area, that included the upper/outer thighs on both legs. I believe the place I went to usually also includes free IPL along with the ResurFx per their website/price sheet, but I don't think they did any IPL to me. This could be because the Dr wanted to be gentle on my skin? I'm not sure, this was the only question I was left with since it was one of the reasons I chose them. (I had read online doing combo laser treatments in each session can help PIH a lot.)
But I didn't want to "complain" by any means as the doctor took a lot of time on me and went over the areas several times, so I was happy.
I would love to get the 3rd session, but for now money is tight so I will hold off until after summer is over (and bc I'm very happy with the current results anyway.)
I have included pics from right after both sessions, some of the pics were a week or two post session, and the last pics posted were from 6/23 (today.)

I greatly appreciated that Dr. Hunt was extremely realistic and upfront with me from the get-go that it's difficult to treat these spots, and that it can be expensive based on multiple sessions that would likely be required. He did a thorough exam and took plenty of time to answer my many questions, and they did not pressure me to schedule anything. They have a beautiful office, I've never had to wait long, and the same assistant helps me each time so far which I like, since it's someone I'm now familiar with. The doctor himself did the laser procedures which I felt was very important. The Dr. also went over a few extra spots outside of the main treatment area, which I truly appreciated as well. To me this shows a focus on results and customer satisfaction. I would definitely refer anyone there who is interested in laser treatments of any kind. From all the research I did online ahead of time, this place has the largest variety of lasers in one office that I could find anywhere. This was another one of the main reasons I chose to go here. I felt that I could come get an honest recommendation of the BEST laser procedure for my very specific issue, rather than a place pushing a certain one because of it being the only type of laser a place has.
