What else can I try for scar hyperpigmentation from tummy tuck several years ago? (photos)

keke38
I have darken scars from a tummy tuck several years ago and have done 3 sessions spaced 6 weeks apart with the PIQ04 laser to reduce the hyperpigmentation. The scar is pretty flat, not very hypertrophic, and there has been no change in the hyperpigmentation. I’m not sure if I should continue with the laser or try something else since there has been no change. Triluma didn’t work, it irritated my skin and seemed to darken the area.
