I don't see how minocycline would affect microdermbrasion one way or the other.
As for sun spots, hydrouinone is usually slow and only partly successful on all but the lightest sun spots. You could try it first for a couple of months to see and then laser what's left, or else you could go right to laser.
Take care.
