There are different treatments that can be used to help with the darkness of the skin such as an ipl laser in combination with tca peels. Their are several different percentages of tca peels.To find the correct percentage for your skin visit your nearest dermatologist to help decide what percentage is best for your skin. A Sunscreen with an active ingredient of zinc is always recommended to help prevent further darkness of the skin especially when doing tx to your skin.
Best,

So sorry to hear of your bad experience with microdermabrasion. Since you’ve already tried topical skin care products to help even your complexion but with no luck, you may need to try a more aggressive treatment option such as laser skin resurfacing to help you get the results you’re looking for. Just make sure you work with an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon to ensure your safety and maximize your outcome. Best of luck!
